Divine Diva Challenge #17

Welcome to the first challenge in December! We have a couple Christmasy challenges for you this month - but don't feel you have to make a Christmas card. You can be inspired in any way you want! This week's inspiration from is this fun collection of mugs from Garnet Hill.

Today is the quickest creation!!! I had made a card but realized this a.m. that it was the wrong week for the inspiration photo I used for it so back to the drawing board and I only had 45 minutes. Yikes!!! Hope you like what I came up with!! I used the Peace and Joy stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs and made a Hot cocoa mug. The paper is from Memory Box. I embossed snowflakes on the blue background using the snowflake from the Peace and Joy set. I will leave more details on this later since I only have 5 minutes to post before having to run my daughter to piano lessons. I am already late. Eek! What a way to start the day.!

Anywho....here is my creation:

Be sure to check out the cards made by all the Divine Divas for this challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!! I can't wait to blog hopping after my hectic beginning. Gotta run!!
