Coffee theme

I don't make New Year resolutions, but I have promised myself this year to break into some of my unopened paper pads and embellishment packs. Using my stash doesn't always have to mean starting with offcuts {although that is my usual MO}. Today I started with P13 Always and Forever paper pad; I adore the lovely neutrals.
