Christmas cheer - Catch the bug Free Friday

Friday November 20, 2015
 
Well today is my birthday.. Yeah me.. I have to work today but next year I will be home for my birthday.. I am retiring next year the end of Oct. 2016.. I could of retired 3 years ago.. but the bill keep coming in.. I hope to have a lot of that problem more under control.  This addiction.. hobby is a big issue.. lol like you guys don't already know this. Anyhow I plan to have a nice birthday.
 
Today is Free Friday at Catch the bug and the image is called Ginger bread cocoa
 

This is the image.. cute huh.. not enough marshmallows in the cocoa though. I love lots and lots and I keep adding until I'm almost to the bottom.. I decide to make a tag and use the ginger bread cookie sticker as the top hole area.  I embossed the greeting on vellum and used silver powder.. I also dry embossed the tag to just give it some texture.  Of course colored it with copics.
