Who says Fresh Freesia is only for Easter cards? I love an unexpected color for the holidays! A few well placed die cuts made this card come together in no time.....because my time will be taken up by some pie making today. I always volunteer to make the pies - way more fun than roasting the turkey!
A sweet cup of hot chocolate definitely takes the chill off of a wintry day! As I type this Buffalo, NY (about four hours west of me) expects three to five FEET of snow today and tomorrow. Now that's a snowstorm! The storm will drift northeast so we will only get a few squalls now and then. But a hot cup of cocoa or coffee or tea will get you through the storm......along with boots, snow tires, shovels, parka, scarf, mittens, fireplace.....you get the drift.....
Squeezing this card in just before the end of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop for Fall/Winter !
Stamp Set: Snowman To Go (Unity Stampa - which I won in last year's hop!), Newton's Candy Cane (Newton's Nook)
Paper: Basic White, Storybook Gnomes

Just some more CAS stamping going on here in my craft room! And I stamped without a net - meaning just inked the images up on blocks and went for it. The holly is very forgiving! Multiples are my nemesis so I try hard to keep them simple when I have to make them.
Every January I say I am going to make two Christmas cards a week ........ and every year I never do....sigh...
Stamp Sets: Joyful Holly, Cherish the Season
Ink: Shaded Spruce, Poppy Parade
Paper: Basic White
How could I not have a gingerbread man in my stash? Sad but true! So I went with the mugs and colors from the photo. Perhaps the fact that I am a huge fan of hot chocolate also came into play....
I was inspired by both the sketch and the photo this week at Fusion! Hope you join us!
