Chocolate Anyone???

Good morning to you all hope you are on top of things for the big day in one week's time!!!!  I have finally got all my decorations up and our suite has arrived in the store so they are delivering on Friday - whew!  Done most of my present wrapping just a couple left to buy today and wrap.  I will marzipan my cake today and decorate it at the weekend.  Still haven't finalised my menu plans but I am slowly getting there.  Still haven't posted my cards either - eekkkkk!

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and it is our last challenge of the year and will last three weeks to give us all a break - yay!  The theme is everyone's favourite:

ANYTHING GOES

Nice and easy and here is what I did:


I have used the irresistible Christmas Candy Fairy from The Paper Shelter coloured with Copics and plenty of Star Dust Stickles.  I cut the milk box carton out on my Cameo and added some acetate to the window to stop the chocolates falling out into my mouth! I cut the image out with Spellbinders Labels Eight and the holly is a CC Designs die.  The letters are by Trimcraft and have been painted with Martha Stewart Acrylic Paint.  The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  Now I made this way back in October and I am very pleased to say the chocolates are still in it!!

As usual there is a fabulous prize on offer for the lucky winner:


Please go over to The Paper Shelter Challenge to see what all the DT both Team A and Team B have done - wow you will be blown away!

Right I am off to marzipan my Christmas Cake and then I am meeting up with a friend for a Christmas coffee may just have a mince pie too! Thank you so much for looking and big big hugs to you if you are not feeling well! Take care xx
