October Theme Challenge

Hello everyone!

Majda again, to welcome you for the third challenge of the month

on the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

Because I really love cute holiday mugs,
whether they're filled with cocoa, coffee, Christmas tea, punch …
I decided my theme would be Christmas cup.

I got so excited about making cards with Christmas cups
that in the end I didn't know which one to use.
Result: I have two (and more ;) Christmas cards.

But first:
our guest designer this week is:
