Paper Smooches challenge- January #3

Hello, friends:}

**Click HERE for the Paper Smooches February blog hop, sneak peeks, and GIVEAWAY! Deadline for entries is TONIGHT, Sunday, January 29th! 

Today I'm sharing one more card for the Paper Smooches "COZY" and photo inspiration challenge for January.

I think that coffee, hot cocoa, and mugs just SCREAM "cozy"! I know that I love to be warmed up with a cup of hot cocoa... with extra mimi marshmallows. Honestly, I think I might need a cup right now! It's 63* here in North Port, Florida! BRRRRR! 

Anyway... I was inspired by THIS card on pinterest and I used the following PS stamps/dies: Winter Sampler, Cosmos, Smooches, Hugs & Kisses, Cyber Cafe, Hot Concoctions, and Coffee & Tea. 

I also used my NEW My Sweet Petunia Misit stamping tool. OH MY! How did I ever live without it before!??! It's GENIUS! 

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and play along:)
