Memory Box Gingerbread Men Merry Christmas

Welcome back, my stampin' sistahs!

It's my day to post at Outside the Box, the Memory Box Design team blog!

I'm afraid I have some dreadful cough that is making it very tricky for me to breathe without hacking up a lung, so my post today will be somewhat short by necessity. Today's card raises a toast to the holiday cheer we often encounter at this time of the year - lol!

And a close-up....

First - I hope you feel better fast. Second - this card is brilliant - so happy, so fun, so clever. I looked at the shipped cream on the cup and wondered, what?? The mini cloud .... THAT'S brilliant. The gingerbread men are adorable - I wanna take a bite. Bravo!

I love the use of the cloud on the mug for some rich whipped cream topping. YUM
