Welcome friends! Glad you are back to play along with our Merry Monday Challenge where we encourage and inspire you to make your Christmas cards RIGHT NOW for next December!!~
Kim is our Hostess this week with a photo and asking us to use it as inspiration for our card.
I pulled out the Friendship Jar Holiday Fillers series from PTI and die cut the smaller jar from vellum and colored on the backside of it with a brown copic to look like hot chocolate.
I added embossed marshmallows on top and colored a bit with a C1 copic. I also added a peppermint stick to the hot drink! *wink
Please stop by the blog and see how the other team members used this photo and I will look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
Heart Hugs, friends!

What a cute mug full of hot cocoa and marshmallows. Love the tag tied on the mug and the paper is perfect with the design. Hope you have a great week Colleen.
This makes me want to dump out my coffee and go make hot chocolate. It looks so good with the marshmallows and peppermint stick. Great take on the inspiration picture and way to make Christmas cards early.
Fun cocoa with peppermint stick, Colleen, and I love the little tag dangling from it! Perfect with the peppermint striped paper!!

Colleen your card is so cute. I need to get moving on my Christmas cards, I started out so good in January. I was so pleasantly surprised to see you girls at the Craft House last weekend. Was it not so much fun??
Very nice! I tried coloring on vellum for hot cocoa and well let's just say your coloring came out way better. Nice job.
Hi Colleen!!!! LOVE the envelope design and peppermint stripe paper (yummm)! Have a super week!
So clever to use vellum for the hot chocolate!! It turned out beautifully!!
Such a sweet card Colleen! Love the hot cocoa in the little mason jar and that candy cane striped border. Sweet! I hope you've settled back in to a rountine after our time away.
