BF☆26TH

I thought that I would dedicate a blog post to my boyfriend's 26th birthday, as it is in the first week of January,  and this year, was a little different compared to the others. Firstly, we were actually able to spend it together... as we are long d for the most part, we can't always spend anniversaries or birthdays together.  It's quite alright though :) it's the thought that counts and really makes the times that we can actually spend together that much more special!

This year...this sums up what I was working on ... a little art project, I guess you could call it :) (Thanks to my bf for taking this photo haha)

So to explain, yes that is a golden ticket.  That was his birthday present, a pair of golden tickets ;)
Heavily inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and their golden ticket, I decided that I would make one too! There are different parts to this: 1) The chocolate bar 2) The golden tickets and 3) The "Winner Package", which is actually the main birthday card.  (Those jars on the side are filled with Skittles- which I sorted and stored individually because SOMEONE complained about how they don't sell "single coloured bags of Skittles" lol)

It was fun to make :) Mostly used Photoshop and Illustrator for this project, and then got them printed.  Of course there's a bit of measuring involved too XD
While these colours may look...girly...I tried to stay within the purple and yellow/gold theme :)

In the end, I'd say things turned out quite alright, some things could have turned out better, but with the time frame that I was working with to get things finalized...it's alright.  

PS. I used a real chocolate bar... and yes, it is actually edible HAHA

Another year, time to start brainstorming for the next year!!! Wheeeeee ~
