Chocolate Wrapper & my 1st little movie tutorial (well maybe) !!

Another creation for Scrapbook Boutique, continuing with the Christmas in July theme.  I tend to make these chocolate covers for a special little gift at Christmas, doesn't cost alot to make but makes the recipient feel oh so special that you have taken the time to dress up a block of chocolate!
Assembling the rosette is a no brainer, check out the tutorial here at the Scrapbook Boutique store.
 If you want some more details on this number jump over to Scrapbook boutique blog for all the details. 

Did you catch the wonderful announcement over at the blog?...... We have a brand new teamie, the very, very talented Narelle Riley from Scrapparazzi
 As you have probably noticed, I do NOT a scrapbook, but looking at Narelle's layouts I am feeling the itch to give it a go- but let's not rush things, it starts with a though, will see where that thought goes.
If it is meant to be it will be!
Anyhoo, onto sharing...........

Now, I am not sure this tutorial will work or not, so I would love your feedback!
I was not able to enlarge it, but maybe you can, the writing on the photos maybe too small to read. 
 I really wanted to give it a whirl so here it is.........
If you can view it, Evelyn has posted at the photos over at the Scrapbook Boutique Blog
