Changes at The Latte Lounge and a challenge card

Good morning!  This is my first post for today.  I'll be coming back in a few minutes with my post for Pattie's Creations.

I wanted to let you know about some things happening at The Latte Lounge.  First off, we have decided to change the name to make it more crafty related.  So we are now The Crafty Cafe.  We'll also be getting a new badge that Tracey is working on.  I can't wait to show it to you.  We're making some changes in the challenges as well as adding to our DT.  Be watching in September and see what we have planned for you.

Ok, I've been a slacker on sharing this months challenge with you.  Our theme for August is Anything in August, so anything goes, plus for week 2 we're asking you to add a bow.  Here is a little inspiration for you...

I used the boat and smooth sailing sentiment from the Beach Set at The Stamping Boutique.  I just love this set.  For my background I embossed some Core'dinations paper.  I then used some sandpaper to sand off the top layer of color.  I just love this paper and how it looks.  The ribbon is some I got from a swap.

Thanks for stopping.  Have a great day.
