Rick's mum, dad and sister came to Melbourne and stayed with us for the fathers day weekend which was fantastic! We get so homesick and it was so nice to spend some time together.
After they had left Rick decided he would play some X-Box (he thinks playing X-Box during the day is super exciting lol) and Sage went down for a nap so I decided it was time to sit down and do some scrappin'.
Its been a little while since I have actually completed a project that was just for myself as I have been a little lacking in the scrapbooking mojo department lately. Yesterday Ricks mum and sister and I bought a little brown bag of chocolates from the Cacao stall in GPO. Cacao chocolates are AMAZING the look like shiny gems and come in an array of decadent flavours- unfortunately i have no photos to show you as we scoffed them down to quick :)
I did however salvage the brown bag afterwards and have had fun with it this afternoon. I have been saving my Graphic 45 'Le Romantique' papers for something special and although I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to use this completed project for I thought a cacao chocolates bag deserves special paper :)
Here are the pics
I am obsessed with these little curled roses- they are so easy to make, and then I cover them in Mod Podge.
The butterfly I printed onto Cristina Re linen paper, inked with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo and covered in Mod Podge.
I also used vintage music sheet paper and a FTI rhinestone flourish

The fan I did the same as the butterfly and I also tea dyed the note paper
The dressform is cut out by hand, then I painted it with white acrylic paint mixed with a little bit of metallic copper and coated it in Mod Podge (okay so I'm a little bit Mod Podge addicted lol) then stamped the butterfly with Stazon in Saddle Brown, tied some string around and attached some more curled roses :)
These shipping tags I distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo and then painted the eyelets with nail polish! the same colour as I'm wearing at the moment actually haha.
Paper bag of Goodies :)
