2nd Post

When is a house not a house? When it's a chocolate box! ... Ok ... see, this is what I mean ....
The Shabby Tea Room have a new challenge on this week ( Thank you Shabby Tea Room for my Honorable Mention this week ... I'm delighted) .. called "House and Home" .... See here is the inspirational picture ..

Cute huh? .... Well this month I have sooo many birthdays ... Anniversaries ... and lots of cards and gifts to sort. So I thought I should enter one of my gifts ... a box of chocolates ... well, no,  ... a house of chocolate actually .... All wrapped up ...




Ok lots of pictures to share so go get a cup of tea ...


Off pops the lid, well, roof actually, and Voila! heaps of gorgeous chocolate .......


The Shabby Tea Room colours are soft blues, creams, whites and brown ..... 




... and my house is decorated all around in the same soft shades ....


Lots of creamy lace, glittery butterfly, digitally printed customised card stock, lil' fences cut with my sizzix, flowers and buttons all glittery too ( not sure you can see that though) ....


.. a few bubble stickers, some digital collage, and a little heart frame I made from chipboard and of course glittered ....
The template is from PTI Timeless Templates designed by Lauren Meader ... I love this template and made a few at Christmas. The box holds a lot too....
So there we are ... I hope you liked it ...

Till soon enjoy!
