Merry Monday and Holiday Cheer # 227

Winter means cold weather, fires, good books and a good cup of hot chocolate!
Join us today for our last Merry Monday Challenge of the year.
We will all be back on January 2!
Today Nina is looking for that holiday drink we all love to share with friends and family.
Stamps I used (all PTI):
 Holiday Greens, Candy Cane Christmas
 

Heart Hugs, friends!

What a fabulous card for this challenge! Great color choices and the coffee cup with peppermint sticks is as sweet as can be. It's funny, I just used that same "smoke" stamp as steam on a coffee cup card I recently made to. Great minds.... Have a very Merry Christmas my friend!

That cup reminds me of my aunt, she had cups like that and in that color, along with other colors in a set. The peppermint stick looks yummy. Lovely boquets and a sweet card. Sending wishes for a wonderful new year and lots of crafting.
