hanging chocolate tree decorations

Have been having some fun today making this yummy little tree decoration using some chocolate coins (thanks goes to Lauren for coin idea)  Well I  got some gold chocolate coins the ones that come in a little bag & decided to make individual tree decorations.  I stuck a circle of card stock to cover the gold coin on both sides, put a heart & a little sentiment on top & then added some twine to hang on the tree.  As the bag contains 9 coins I now can make 9 decorations to co-ordinate with my red & green theme on my tree.  Can't wait to get my tree in from the garden & the decorations down from the loft, but a bit early yet so time to make the other 7 decorations.

Cards - hearts & trucks

You've got to love hearts, well I do anyway.  So I have created a heart card full of sparkles. Each heart is embossed in glittery tinsel & so is the background.  Hard to tell from the photo but trust me it sparkles. An alternative card for christmas, or any other time really, using a green theme it is perfect for everyone & not just us girlie girls.

 For all the guys out there & us girls that just like trucks here is a cute little card of a pick-up truck carrying home the tree for the festive season.  One card I printed the truck as it was, & the other I washed in blue watercolour & painted the little guy driving.  Fun to do so I hope you like them.

Remember all my cards are for sale so just drop me an email allmark.j@sky.com if any of them catch your eye.
