Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday! The holiday rush is on and I have some last minute shopping, wrapping and baking to do this week...how about you? In the meantime, a new bi-weekly challenge round has started at The Inspiration Challenge Blog. The photo prompt is just too stinkin' adorable!
For my team project, I was inspired by the Hot Beverage and one of our Christmas Eve traditions. After Church Service, we go to Starbucks for a Hot Cocoa and then drive around looking at Christmas lights while playing Holiday music.
This "to-go" cup die is from Kat Scrappiness and the papers are from the Carta Bella "Merry Christmas" 6x6 paper pad. The ribbon is from my stash and the snowflake was received in a card swap. The sentiment is from an older Gina K. Designs Stamp Set.
We would love to have you join us at The Inspiration Station this round. Next month, starting January 2nd, the challenge will go to a Monthly format. The challenges will start on the 1st Monday of the month and end on the 25th of the month.
1 More more thing......I would like to announce a new monthly challenge will be starting soon! It's the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and the theme will always be Anything Goes Flowers/Florals. Challenges will start on the 15th of each month and run until the 12th of the following month. Check it out here: https://beautifulblossomschallenge.blogspot.com/
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
