Chocolate Friday!!

What an awesome theme Judy thought of today for the Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC195)!!....make a project with some sort of chocolate theme....chocolate colored ink or paper, a chocolate-related stamp, etc. Thanks Judy! Loved this...and I love that book too!

My tag was inspired by one that I saw on the Stampin' Up Home Page. A tag was made with two mittens dangling around the horizontal strip. Well, I used these cute little cups from There She Goes instead of mittens.

What's all chocolate on my project??...LOTS!!...

- TSG Mugs and Steam are stamped in the background
- Memento Cocoa ink
- Chocolate Chip CS
- PTI's Chocolate Remix DP
- Chocolate/Vanilla Ribbon from Taylored Expressions
- The inside is filled with two packets of hot cocoa...french vanilla and mocha flavors
- AND....I also drank a cup of hot chocolate while making this project...hehe...okay, that doesn't count for the challenge but I thought I'd mention it

The Vanilla tag is 2.5" x 3.5", matted against a piece of Chocolate Chip CS that's 1/8" larger all around. I stamped four teacups in Memento Cocoa (two of the right-facing cups and two of the left-facing cups) onto the Chocolate Remix DP, cut them out, and glued two together back-to-back...that way if they flip when dangling, it still shows a finished side. I strung them on hemp twine and looped the twine around that horizontal strip. The horizontal piece of Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate DP is up on dimensionals.

RECIPE ~
Stamps: There She Goes Tea for Two
Paper: SU Chocolate Chip, SU Very Vanilla, PTI Dark Chocolate Remix DP
Ink: Memento Cocoa

...now go have some hot chocolate. It's snowing here in PA today so it's just the perfect day for it too!!

Later all!
