Christmas Joy

  Hello, everyone!  Here is a mid-challenge reminder for our "Winter" challenge over on the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  You still have almost 2 weeks to play along with us.  We have two sponsors and the image I used today came from Pattie's Creations.  Here is my card:

This image actually has a cute little heart on the "sleeve" of each mug, but I wanted to use it for a Christmas card, so I used die cut snowflakes to cover up the hearts.  But the image, as is, would be perfect for a Love or Friendship themed card.  I pulled out some non-traditional colored Christmas papers, and thought this one with the mittens and hats was perfect to go along with the cups.  While I was trying to decided what I was going to do with the horizontal strip along the bottom of the card, I remembered that I had several of these die cut snowflake border pieces that someone had given me years ago.  It was the perfect piece to dress up that strip.

Remember, you still have almost 2 weeks to play.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:

Stamps: Pattie's Creations "Lattee Love" digi; Verve "Beyond Measure" sentiment
