Happy Power Poppy Friday!

Hi there everyone and happy Friday to you!  I hope all has been well with you.  For today's post I am finally getting to play along with Power Poppy's December Power & Spark Challenge hosted by the amazingly talented card diva, Christine Okken!  She has quite a "sweet" challenge for us.  You can read all of the details here.

So for my quickie little sweet treat offering I decided to go with one of my favorite holiday treats...truffles!  I found this limited edition white peppermint variety and just couldn't resist.

I decided to work with the packaging and make a simple vertical belly band for the bag....

This darling digital image, Candy Cane Classic, was a special limited time offer not long ago in the Power Poppy store.  I printed it on white card stock, die cut it out and colored it up with Copics.  I added a little sponging, and some silver leafing around the edge, then layered it with pink card stock, and a white scalloped oval die cut.  For my sentiment, I used one from the Holly Golightly stamp set, stamping it on some pink card stock, then die cutting it out.  I trimmed some polka dot paper to the width I needed and wrapped it around my candy bag.  Next, I tied some ribbon around the package and adhered my assembled image panel.  I did notch out a little spot at the top of the panel to snug up against my bow.  

This came together really quickly and I think it makes a really nice giftie for someone "sweet", don't you?  ;)  Now what this photo doesn't show is that there are two truffles missing from the bag.  Matt and I both just had to sample, and we can both say that these are completely wonderful!  :)  I l-o-v-e all of the detail Marcella has in this darling image....and it was super fun to color!

So that is all for my project, but I am so glad you were able to stop by for a visit today!  There is still plenty of time to get in on the latest Power & Spark challenge so c'mon and play with us, won't you?  Don't forget to link up a photo to the Power Poppy blog for a chance to win a prize!  

Hope you have an awesome weekend and until next time, take care!  :)
