The Power of Chocolate at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Finally we are out of the spell of extreme cold weather here and there has been sunshine, plus temperatures and melting snow. Which is good apart from the icy mornings.

We have changed things up a bit over at The Paper Shelter and our challenges are now ANYTHING GOES with an optional theme. Anyone playing the theme will receive DOUBLE ENTRIES towards the weekly prize!!

This week our theme is FOOD/DRINK so I have made a delicious chocolate gift card, using page 21 from the 'Lovely Bears' colouring book, along with a sheet from the 'Tasty Signs' digital paper pack.

Now I have a Cricut I love being able to design things virtually, although it does take me a while with all the fiddling and creating my own shapes etc. It is definitely my new favourite crafting technique though.

Do you keep your scraps? I can't throw anything away that could be used! I have three bags of cut card, organized by smallest to largest, so it is easy for me to grab what I need.

The card fits four Merci chocolates, or alternatively could fit a single larger treat. I have added a piece of card behind, so there is something to write a note on.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
