Crazy for Cocoa

Happy Monday! Thank you for all the well wishes last week when I was feeling under the weather. I am feeling much better this week. Unfortunately, it seems like my daughter may have caught it. She stayed home from school today. I hope she is able to kick it quickly.

I saw that there is a new challenge blog dedicated to Sweet N Sassy's Cocoa the mouse. He is a favorite at our house. My daughter just loves him. In fact she got a stuffed animal mouse as a gift and named it Cocoa. Given all that, how could I not make a card for the first challenge? DD was going to make a card too but the lure of the snow outside was stronger than idea of making cards with mom inside. Since she was outside and didn't see this card, I am going to give it to her for Christmas.



Thank you for stopping by today! Have a great week!

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Sweet Cocoa from Sweet N Sassy Stamps, Baby It's Cold Outside from My Favorite Things, Just the Ticket from PaperTrey
  • Papers: Neenah Crest solar white CS, Stampin' Up Real Red CS, October Afternoon Very Merry DP
  • Inks: Stampin' Up Real Red, Close To My Heart Crystal Blue
  • Tools: Stampin' Up edge punch, PaperTrey ticket die, Copic markers
  • Embellishments: Hug Snug seam binding, PaperTrey bakers twine, Sakura clear glitter pen, misc. button & gem stones
