Today's coffee chugging hedgehog is for my great-niece's 1st Halloween. Now maybe it isn't exactly the right image for a baby's 1st Halloween card, but hey, her mama (my niece) loves pumpkins and coffee, so the heck with it, I'm going for it. Although, really, when you think about it, a coffee card might be completely appropriate for a household with a new baby. The digi is Fox's Pumpkin Spice from Di's Digi Stamps.
This isn't the first pumpkin spice/coffee combo I've made my niece. This Pumpkin Spice and All Things Nice card is a past favorite (and I'm glad I looked up that link as I realize I'd totally forgotten I had that awesome free pumpkin digi paper) and I colored and framed a free Dearie Dolls Pumpkin Everything digi for this Pumpkin Lovers Unite greeting.
The paper is leftover bits from my scraps stash (no idea where it's all from, but I thought it looked good together). The sentiment was created with Candy Buzz font. Dies are no-brand with the exception of the Crafter's Companion ric-rac die (yes, again). Enamel dots dress it up.
