I had to play along once again with the theme from Inspired By, the TGIF and the Peace On Earth Challenge because I love everything about hot chocolate. I used the Sweet Holiday Wishes Collection from my ETSY shop for this one.
Not sure if you can see it but I added some sparkle to the whip cream for the Lattes & Layers Challenge over on the CLP blog – the theme is sparkle

And the challenges:
The new Inspired By Challenge is up. Gotta love a Charcuterie board. We have a hot chocolate charcuterie every Christmas Eve now. I had one a few years ago, my grand daughter really liked it and looks forward to it each year. I was inspired by the Gingerbread and the hot chocolate. I used this clip art which made this card go together very quickly. Once again I have used the Gingerbread Kisses from Doodlebug..
If you like this clip art you can grab it here:
Now I hope you come and join us, would love to see how you are inspired!
I played along with the Inspired by Challenge once again. I couldn’t help it, just love these colors and this old MFT panel die was perfect for it. I mounted all the die cuts (except little hearts) onto foam squares of some added dimension. And of course, had to throw in a couple of snowflakes.
There’s still some time to play along! come on over and play!
My second hot cocoa card for today, this time using some Unity stamps. I used the It’s a Mug Hug stamp set for the main image and the sentiment is from the Cozy Vibes Coffee set I used some scraps of my Carta Bella Coffee shop papers. the image is coloured with copics and mounted on foam squares. I added glitter to the whip cream for detail.

It’s National Cocoa Day so of course I had to create a card for the occasion. Actually I am going to see how many I can create today! This is the first of 2 so far. I used the Farmhouse collection from Carta Bella, which isn’t a Christmas/Winter collection but I thought the colors worked well for it. The mug die is from MFT, the snowman stamp is from Pinkfresh Studio and the sentiment is from Unity.
I mounted the min image on foam squares. The embossed snowflake background was a scrap just laying on my desk so I made it into a tag to mount the image on.
This is also another card for the Lattes & Layers challenge over on the Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Blog where the theme is Sparkle. I added some sparkle to the snowman’s hat.
Come play along, as one lucky person will get to be a guest designer!
And of course don’t forget to play along with the Caffeinated Christmas challenge!
The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the bright colors. I used the Gingerbread Kisses collection from Doodlebug. Aren’t those little gingerbread people cute?
We would love to see how you are inspired! Come see what the design team have created and play along!
I finally played with this gorgeous stamp set from Unity it is called Winter’s Gentle Heart. I pretty much live in the forest so anything with evergreen and pine cones I love! Fitting as today I hope to head out with the dogs and gather some greenery for our decor.
Do you decorate with greenery?
Now this gorgeous stamp set is available for purchase as part of this month’s KOM or you can purchase it separately as a KOMpanion kit
I played with another one of my Elf clip art and some Elle’s studio Papers. I already had the frame die cut from a previous project so I decided to use it. This card went together very quickly. I do like to color images but sometimes, a cute clip art just is fun to use.
I used one of my own sketches, if you like sketches, check out my sketch page, here:
And once again, here’s the cute Elf Clip Art Collection
I played along with a couple of challenges and came up with this card. Once again this cute elf is part of a clip art collection and you can see it HERE. I paired it with some older Elle’s Studio papers. The holly is from Reverse Confetti (anyone else miss them?) and the sentiment die is from Simon Says.
I am playing along with:
And here’s the Elf Clip art collection
I played along with the Inspired By Challenge again, because, well that gnome is so cute. This time I used a stamp from Unity .
I paired it with the Hard Candy collection from Simple Stories, the colors in this are so fun aren’t they?
To make it even more fun I mounted him on a wobbler so that it is an interactive card.
