Absolutely love this sentiment!  A nice warm mug of coffee (decaf latte in my case) on a cold winter day, while out with a friend, or after a hectic day is indeed the equivalent of a hug :)    I sneak peeked this wonderful die and mug image from tomorrow's set as it just fit the sentiment perfectly.

For the tea lovers out there, this tea pot and the other one in the set are adorable!! Unfortunately, my colouring skills have much to be desired...sorry!  Such a cute sentiment too.  I cased the flowers around the tea pot from this card by Julee.  Such a wonderful way to ground the teapot.  Layered up the doilies and added black half pearls around the top of the teapot for some dimension.

    Fabulous!! I love the bright graphic look with a happy twist on your first card. I kept looking at those mugs and looking at the stamp set image wondering how you did that....LOL!!! Thanks for the sneaker. :) Beautiful second card, too. Such pretty colors and layers.

    Gorgeous cards!! The black hearts just pop with the orange behind them and love the A Hug In A Mug sentiment, so cute! Your second card with the pretty colored doilies, the edging you did with the black pearls on the tea pot were cute additions. Love the use of the buttons and tiny bows too. Blessings, Catherine
