Christmas hot cocoa

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are having beautiful weather and enjoying your weekend! We just got home from our oldest boy's baseball game and got beat 8-2.  Bummer... but at least it was sunny and we had a great breeze blowing.  Perfect weather for a game :) Certainly not what you think of when you look at my card:) I really wanted to participate in some of the awesome challenges this week.  This is probably one of my very favorite color combos, it just makes me think of the Holiday's. I am entering this in the following:

Celebrate the Occasion Challenge - Christmas Shape
Scrapbookaholic by abby Challenge - Bling
Patches of Pink - Red, white, and blue theme
Crazy about Cricut - Thankful-thursday Red, White & Blue

Card - 5.5" Shaped Card
Cartridges - Joys of the season, George (heart)
Paper - Recollections
Button - MM
Twine - Stampin up
Stickles
Ink - Colorbox
