Paper Smooches Sparks - Anything Goes

Hello there :0)

It's the first challenge of the month at Paper Smooches Sparks and we're kicking off as always with an Anything Goes challenge..... I'm still on Christmas cards although I have to say I'll be glad to put my Christmas stamps away soon :0)

Okay, so this card doesn't actually use many Christmas Stamps and I've had this idea before... pairing up that goofy Monster and the term 'handsome' that is!!! Now it's even easier because I don't have to spell it out... it's part of the Headliners Stamp set :0)

I couldn't resist using the Mistletoe and the Santa Hat..... why it could be a scene from any office party... Hehehe :0)
I don't usually give hubby a Christmas card but this year may be an exception... although he's not actually green with brown horns... honestly :0)

Here are the links to my fellow teamies, please stop by and see their fab projects as well :0)

Celebrating Getting Old!!

Well how considerate are the ladies at CASology!!!
The cue word this week is OLD and it just coincides with my MIL's birthday this week..hehehe. Luckily she wont see this blog post but then again I'm sending her this card so I hope she see's the funny side....

Joking aside, I take my hat off to her because even at eighty something she jets off to the other-side of the world for three months every winter to visit family!! Not a lot keeps her stationary for long!!

Such a large number of candles is cause for a Celebration so I'm entering this in to Less is More this week... they are celebrating with their 200th challenge, now that would be a huge cake  :0)
Chrissie and her team do a stella job each week and even though I don't get round to joining in most of the time, I still check in with them each Saturday :0)
Congratulations Chrissie and here's to many more!!

Don't Forget the Sprouts!!

Pinch and a punch and all that...first day of December!!! Yep panic starting to set in but at least I have some ideas for teacher gifts this Christmas starting with these chocolate Brussel Sprouts I found in Marks & Spencers this year.....

 This is my DT project over at Make the Day Special Stamp Store today so all the product links can be found over there.
I was super excited when I found these foil wrapped chocolate balls, they are already very authentic looking in their green net bag so I just decided to give them a red Goody bag to sit in and a new tag..

The sprouts are a snug fit in the bag so they dome nicely through the aperture in the plate. I wanted to leave them in the netting and just added a new tag in place of the shop one :0)

M&S also have a bag of chocolate balls made to look like clementines in this style which have a hint of orange flavour in the chocolate!!!....... Well..... I'm pleased to report that, according to the label, these Sprouts are just chocolate!! Phew...not sure the world is ready for Sprout flavoured chocolate !!!!

Righty-ho.... two more to make and then onto the next project :0)

Thanks for stopping by :0)
