Can you believe we are already on our 4th Cocoa challenge? Today's challenge is a color challenge. We'd like to see you use red, blue and brown together. You may use any shade of the colors, but try to stick to them as best as you can.

C4CC3-December 14

Good morning, Cocoa fans! Sorry for the late post....I was baking cookies last night and just didn't have the energy to put the post together before I went to bed.

We had 10 awesome entries in last week's challenge! Here are a few I thought I'd share with you...

Katlyn with her fabulous Cocoa's ornament card.


Cheryl with her festive red and green Sweet Cocoa card.


Stephanie with her adorable Cocoa's Latte Christmas card :).

Now how about this week's challenge? With Christmas is just around the corner, we all may have a need for a last minute gift so our challenge for you today is to create anything BUT a card. The Cocoa Crazies have come up with some really great ideas to help inspire you! We can't wait to see what you come up with :).

Now that you've been inspired, grab your Cocoa stamps/digis and get creating :)!

Introducing Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenges!

Cocoa Mouse has quickly become a favorite of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps customers (and we have to admit, we love him, too!) so we decided to create this fun challenge blog as a way for all you Cocoa Mouse lovers to come together and share your passion with us :).

Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenges will post a new challenge each Tuesday. The only requirement when playing with us is that you MUST use a Cocoa Mouse image. There will be a fun Cocoa prize given away at the beginning of each month. The winner will be randomly drawn from the previous month's players, so the more times you play, the better your chance of winning :).

We'll also be featuring 3 of our awesome challenge participants every Tuesday in our challenge posts. If we choose YOUR Cocoa-rific creation you'll receive a fun Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenges badge to proudly display on your blog.

We hope you will grab our badge on the right sidebar and help us spread the word about C4CC and we look forward to seeing your Cocoa creations :)!
