Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Take 2

By now, if you haven't heard of the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop going on over at the tireless Amy Tsurata's (seriously, when does she sleep!?!) blog, you have either been living in a bloggy cave or you have an allergy to the word "coffee" and have been skillfully avoiding posts like this (in which case, DANGER WILL ROBINSON).

Well there are tea-minus (yes, that was a hot beverage pun. You're welcome.) four hours left in the hop and we're hovering on 300 link ups! WHOA! As I type there are 288 entries and Amy reeealllly wants to get to 300.

I was comfortable just sitting back and relaxing and watching the show. And by relaxing, I mean furiously typing comments on all the entries. But since we're soooo close to 300 and soooo close to the deadline, I felt compelled to once again join in.

Here's my take two card:

This is about as clean and simple as I get (hence, Damsel of Distressed)! And I actually am over the moon with how it turned out! I know it's hot cocoa, and not coffee, but Amy said that's allowable. :) 

In addition to the hop, this is going on over to CAS(E) this Sketch! (thanks for the inspiration) and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge - bling it on! That's some glittery red stripes and some hand-glued seed pearls in those snowflakes. Definitely blingy!

I do have blog candy for the hoppers who leave a comment. Details are in my last post. Make sure to leave your email so I can easily contact you.

And there are a TON of Sponsors for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. There's still time to whip up a card!
