Hot Cocoa...

Yes, I know it's summer but why not get a head start on your Christmas cards and/or gifts.  Just hop along through the blogs to get some inspiration. If you are participating in the blog hop, you should have come from Linda's blog and if not, then you should start from the beginning with Karen's blog until you come to my blog.

Yesterday, August 1, the a*muse|studio holiday catalog was released.  LOTS of great stamp sets, paper, and embellishments.  So, today we are focusing on the holidays.  I chose Cup of Good Cheer to showcase.  Mine is not actually a card- I am a teacher and I am planning on putting together little goody bags with hot cocoa packet, marshmallows and a candy cane for Christmas (some call it snowman soup).  I figure this would be a good bag topper when I get those bags filled.  Enjoy!  Thanks for looking- and I would love to hear what little gifty type things you are going to do.  I did keep this CAS!
