2017 Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - A Sweet Hello

Hello lovely friends and followers!

Hope you're all having a most wonderful day!

Thanks for taking a little time today to pop in 

and visit me - I'm glad that you did.  

I'm participating in the 2017 Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. 

If you haven't heard of this before please go check it out. 

There are an amazing number of sponsors offering prizes

and lots and lots of fantastic inspiration featuring 

all kinds of different creations.  If you LOVE coffee,

tea or cocoa it's a very fun event.  The past two seasons

I've only been able to hop and enjoy the lovely creations

by all the participants, but this year I found some time to

make three of my own WINTER themed coffee, cocoa creations 

(so far) to share with you.  Here's my first one featuring an 

adorable stamp set from YOUR NEXT STAMP (one of the 

hop's Super Sponsors) called ELLIE LOVES LATTES 

(and the coordinating die cut).  I also used some gorgeous 

plaid papers from the 6 x 6 paper pack Winter Plaid.

  So....drum roll....here's my card. Hope you like it!

In addition to the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop I'm 

also entering this card in the following challenges:

Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge #79

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #187 - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges- Christmas
Simon Says Stamp Blog - Christmas Card Day $100 Giveaway

Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog - Anything Christmas Goes

{PIN}spirational Challenges #205 (Photo inspiration - see below)

I took inspiration from the plaid scarf and Christmas theme

Merry Monday Christmas Challenges #269 Color Challenge

(I used light green, dark green and red)

ABC Christmas Challenges - Y for Yummy (what's yummier 

than a latte on a winter day - especially for Christmas holiday?!)

Okay so that's all from me on this post.  Thanks again for

popping in to visit me.  I hope I've inspired you a little today.

I'll be back soon with my other coffee/cocoa creations :o).
