Chocolate Gift

I am going cardmaking with some great friends this weekend and I wanted to make something fun for them. This is a Hershey bar wrapped in some snowflake paper and decorated. I hope they like them! :) But then who doesn't like chocolate? I stamped the fence first then masked the end of it to stamp the snowman. Then I colored it in and cut out around all of it and popped it up on the snowflake paper.

News

Sorry I haven't posted anything for awhile. My dad had a massive heart attack and nearly died. He is doing a little better now but it is going to take a long time for him to recover. Then on Tuesday my mom had a lung removed (cancer) and of course her hospital is across town from my dad's. I have been pretty busy going back and forth between the two of them, working full time and taking care of my family. I will try to get something posted soon but please have patience while I work through this tough time.
