Here is my take on the case file - "Candy". It's the first LO of several to come with a Christmas theme;

The papers are a mix of Ruby Rockit and October Afternoon.

This photo is by the Finnish photographer whom I've mentioned before and who's given me permission to use photos off her blog.

I had originally planned to use a photo of toffee, but it clashed completely with the colours of the palette. So here's one of a candy cane instead even if one of our family's holiday traditions is to make our own toffee and truffles and something I have no idea what it could be called in English. Our family likes mint flavoured candy canes.

My husband has a sweet tooth the like of which I have never seen parallelled by anybody else's. He can easily chomp down thick slices of marzipan bread in no time, chew on lumps of sugar, gobble down a chocolate bar, drink a bottle of Coke and still never ever have a cavity. Life certainly isn't fair!

The evidence I have used are; numbers, stickers, rhinestones, snowflakes, lace, twine, a button, and Christmas accents. I also used green/white checkered paper instead of houndstooth.
