Chocolates

I know its not a card and really I will make some soon - with Christmas fast approaching I better! Anyway I've spent two days being taught how to make chocolates at work so I thought I would share some of the chocolates I made. The techniques I learnt included tempering the chocolate by hand (many times!), enrobing by hand, making aerated chocolate, moulding wafer in chocolate as well as making shell cases and then filling them with flavoured ganache. The results don't all look great but they do taste nice, not so keen on the smoked cheese flavour one of the other girls chose!

Wedding Cake

Here is the cake I've made for my wedding.

Wedding Card for My New Husband

This is the card I've made to give my new Husband on Our Wedding Day. My Fiance is Scottish and will be wearing a kilt so I have incorporated this into the card design. I have also altered the 'bride' to reflect the design of my dress.

My Wedding Invitations

Here is the design I have chosen for my Wedding Invitations. The card design includes my Fiances tartan while the central panel reflects the design on my Wedding dress.

As the predominate colour on the card is green I am entering the card in the Green for Go challenge over at Saturday Challenge.

Valentines for Fiance

Autumn Birthday card

I made this card for my Fiance for his birthday. The sketch is from Cute Card Thursday. I chose to use a leaf stamp and make an autumnal card as I don't really have any 'boy' images. I have used quite a lot of 'old' stock that I've had for years but never really used. The stamp is from a set I've not used before by See D's, the die-cut leaves and message are from Kanban and the paper is from an old My Minds Eye calendar I received from a magazine subscription.

Flower Birthday

This card is for my Mums birthday in a couple of weeks. I have used a stamp from the Penny Black transparent stamp set Allegro.

Anniversary Card

I made this card to give to my Fiance to celebrate our Anniversary.

Blue and Green Mothers Day

This is another card I've made for Mother's Day. It was orginally going to be for my future MIL but now its made I might swap round with the one below.

Mums Mother's Day Card

I've made this card for my mum for Mother's Day. The paper I have used is from a DCWV pack which I was allowed to keep after being sent the wrong pack, I never received the intended pack though :( I knew I had to save this paper for using on Mother's Day cards. Im not realy a 'pink' person but my sister used the blue and green paper on her card over at Solar Eclipse Crafts so I chose to use the pink and green version instead.
