We celebrate Christmas in summertime, but I have to confess that it doesn't stop me having the occasional hot chocolate. To be fair, I only drink it when the weather is really cold, when I'm after a sugar hit, if I happen to be in a chocolate cafe, or on Tuesdays. Otherwise I stick to coffee.

Adorable card Beccy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Finn - happiness is a hot chocolate. Lovely card Beccy - the stitching is so neat (mine is always differing lengths!). Like you, we have Christmas in summer although I think I would be finding any excuse to go to a Chocolate Cafe but we don't have any where I live.
ReplyDeleteHi Beccy this is a fantastic card. I just love that penguin she is so cute. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteFinn is such a cutie! Love the smell of hot chocolate but don't like to drink it.
ReplyDeleteLOL on the only times you drink hot chocolate, Beccy! I prefer drinking it only in the winter (which it is now where I live) and even then, only on days ending in "y". Darling little penguin and I love your color combo. Fab paper choices.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'll drink hot chocolate, I'll remember my smile seeing this card!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the moment, Beccy! Tomorrow morning I'll drink a hot chocolate, to make the difference!
The card is beautiful and so cute!
ReplyDeleteI also like the different papers you used.
Best wishes!

At first I read: Happiness is not (instead of hot) chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI got chocked and thought there is something that I never have understood. So I had to read it once more.
Now I am relaxed. Yes!
Your card with that sentiment is so true! Love it! And I love chocolate!
Your post made me laugh out loud. It's like I feel about cookies - no gingerbread man is safe from me!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely Finn is. I just love pinquins.
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with Finn. Finn seems to be a little drowsy - here in Denmark it is 23.35 Sunday eighteen.
I imagine Finn sitting and thinking about the many nice things he has done during the day.
Such a cute card. I also made a hot cocoa card. Not as cute as yours tho. I have hot cocoa packets in my cabinet all year round but I too only drink it in the winter.
ReplyDeleteFinn is quite the handsome guy with his yummy smelling hot chocolate to make him blissfully happy! Wonderful colors and a cute design for the card. It is hot chocolate season here and we've had it several times already. Your stitching looks great around all your elements.
ReplyDeleteI love his socks!!! I'm a hot chocolate girl...no coffee for me!
ReplyDeleteBeccy I cannot imagine celebrating Christmas in Summer having lived in the UK all my life. I live right in the centre of the country and although we don't get snow as much as other areas up North it is definitely colder in the Winter months.
ReplyDeleteWhen we went to South Africa it was in their winter and they were all moaning about how cold it was. In comparison for us it was like a warm Summer's day and I spent the whole 2 weeks without a coat on. Just goes to show how different our experiences are and how easy it is to share with the 'tinternet making the world a smaller place with our friends in different countries able to share their stories.
What a cute penguin. Chocolate, I haven't had a drink in ages. Still coffee, coffee and coffee. Winter is coming, so maybe on a cold evening we will make a cup of chocolate and remember this wonderful, challenging month with you.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card - love the image!!!
ReplyDeleteYum---love hat chocolate! Cute card.
ReplyDeleteFinn is adorable, always has been and always will be! I think I use this image every year and I'm sure this year will be no exception! It's a favourite! Your card is gorgeous, Beccy!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite digitals you have drawn Beccy - I just love fin and his hot chocolate drink with those cute cute stockings on his feet where one is falling off! Hot Chocolate is a nice pick me up and delicious with my Mocha Mocha - so with or without a coffee - it is a win win! Lovely lovely card layout using this beauty - TFS
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate - yes I'm drinking mine now though sadly lacking the marshmallows! Cute penguin and love the papers.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make a card that is simple but it looks like your spent hours putting it together....I need to take some classes from you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great card.
Adorable! Love the cute penguin!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Marilyn❤️
So sweet this little pinguin with his cup of hot chocolate and so funny the long socks he is wearing! Looks so comfy! Creative regards, Gina
