My Cozy Christmas Cocoa With Warm Spice Wishes card

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting is featuring a Christmas card shaped as a cup and saucer. Food-wise there are text words for 'hot' and 'chocolate' plus black and dark brown swirl marks for liquid in the cup along with a gingerbread man cookie image. The card isn't design team-related commitment even though there are 3 of my 13 challenge blogs where this card would be theme appropriate. There is a 4th challenge that is 'anything goes' theme (Ally's Angels) where I could share if I wasn't the owner. So I'll be linking up to other owners/managers challenges. 

when: this card was made on Sunday afternoon February 15, 2026 and blog posting typed from 10-10:30 pm on Feb 15th.
