Dottie's World Challenge-It's A Girl Thing!

Well, I'm a tad bit late getting my DW card posted.....geesh Christmas prep. is like a mini wedding! I've been struggling all month long trying to keep up...and failing miserably! :o)

Hopefully now I can get caught up and stay that way.

This week Lou is hosting the DW challenge.

She wants us to make a girl card.

So of course I used one of the brand new Charmed Images from the Sugar and Spice collection-you can get it HERE

The paper I used is Imaginisce Twitter Patter

The buttons are Basic Grey-Nook & Pantry

The wide white gross grain ribbon is CTMH

I think that's about it for the card

I also wanted to show you the fabby cake I made for my Christmas dinner-I host Christmas dinner every year. :o)

The cake I made was a coconut cake and let me tell you, it was ridiculous!!

I used two cake mixes-yes it really was as huge as it looks in the picture.

For each cake mix I added 4 eggs, 1 cup oil, 1 cup sour cream, 4 ounces sweetened coconut, 1 teaspoon vanilla and one box of vanilla flavored jello....yup each sliver of a piece was about 5000 calories!

I made two batches of butter icing, and then used my BIG pastry tip to decorate the sides. I also sprinkled tons of coconut on top.

In between the layers I added Raspberry Spread-my favorite. :o}

The little hollies and poinsettias were premade-Martha Stewart

I trust you had a brilliant Christmas, thanks for stopping by today.

Cheers, Peace and Goodwill to all!
