It was TWINS!!

that my daughter delivered - 

the first set of twins that she had delivered! :-)

She is nearing the end of her Midwifery training

so I've made this keepsake Congratulations card for her

I used my Sizzix embossing folder, mounted onto the pink paper

(the babies were non identical girls)

I added the pretty lace

& stamped twins using my Papermania alphabet set

& finished off with the 2 handprints, one at the top & one at the bottom of the card which is a Kaiser rubber stamp from Australia

So congratulations to the new family

& to the midwife who brought them into the world :-)

Chocolate box

Hmmm - did I fool you into thinking that this was it!

I found this box of gorgeous chocs - yes they are, well I had to test them! *giggle*

The packet contained 2 sections ......

which I made into a Xmas box of special chocs......

Firstly I made the box & lid............

so that it was a snug fit so that the choc's didn't rattle around

Then I decorated the box lid...........

I used die cut snowflakes & tree which were enhanced with stickles & my Sizzix   

embossing folder snowman, again enhanced with stickles.

The sentiment was stamped, cut out & mounted with sticky fixers, as was the snowman.

I finished with the cheerful red spotted ribbon - in keeping with the Spots & Stripes theme.

I'd like to enter this for the Allsorts challenge blog challenge, which this week is Spots & Stripes.
