PS SPARKS Challenge - Warm Thoughts - and WINNER

Good morning! At least, it is still morning here for a little bit! I finally drew a winner for my New Years Giveaway - but first wanted to share a card I made for the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge this week:
Here was the inspiration photo:


I could have gone lots of different directions with this, but decided to take the colors and vintage feel and go with that!
I stamped the little coffee cups from the set called Warm Hearts, colored with Copics, then cut them out. The sentiment came from the set called Sentiment Sampler - I thought it went perfect with this image!
I used some script paper from DCWV for the background, and inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo.  
Next, I layered some strips of paper from Glitz Designs' 6x6 Yours Truly paper pad. 
I stamped the sentiment, wrapped some jute twine around and tied in a bow, then attached the coffee cups with foam adhesive. Finished off with a little bling above the cups to make some steam!
Now...on to the winner! I used Random.org to help me draw a number - which picked comment #8:


The funny thing is...that just so happens to be my sister! I laughed when she left a comment asking if she could enter, even though she was my sister! I laughed too - but I think it is funny that Random.org picked her:


Anyway - I'll get this in the mail Sis...I'm pretty sure I know you address! {{{SMILES}}}

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
