Books + Coffee :: Jot Moodboard

Have you seen this month's moodboard over at jot magazine? i was instantly drawn to the stripes and the pops of gold.The red and pink, not so much. So i decided to make a very neutral page and i knew the just the photo i wanted to scrap. i feel like my subject still takes inspiration from the moodboard as coffee and books are two of my great loves.

Here's one of my go to design cheats that i use whenever i'm stuck; start with a 6x6 paper anywhere on the page and build around it. i find that the rest of the page will quickly follow. That awesome coffee cup printable is designed by Peppermint Grandberg & is part of her High Street Stories collection available at the Lilypad. i printed it with a laser printer and then used my Minc machine to foil it in gold. It's tricky to photograph just how amazing the foil looks in real life, but hopefully you can get an idea in the photo below. It's so so pretty!
