CCEE1541 - Chocolate
Maryann continues as hostess for the CCEE Stampers this week. We couldn't be female without some chocolate in our lives. Maryann asked us to make a card using a chocolate combination -- chocolate and pink, chocolate and green, chocolate and vanilla. I chose Chocolate and Pink to make my Chocolate Bar card, the directions for which I found on a Technique Junkies CD.

Again I'm not a part of the official Blog Hop, but I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today because this is my favorite project of the week. During the summer I attended a stamp show in Orlando and saw a card made with a nutcracker and was hoping that MFP Stamps would eventually have one too. The nutcracker on the card that I saw was made using paper tole, and I loved the dimension. So, when I saw today's set, I was in Seventh Heaven! Here is my project, which is a Christmas tag box.
There are three layers of the nutcracker image, which you can see here:
When you open up the box, you can see that it contains some Christmas tags, which were made using another MFP set, Holiday Tag.
I am entering this project in Scor-Pal's More Than One Score challenge for September -- fun storage ideas. I found the directions for this tag box on one of the Technique Junkies Newsletter CDs, which I also purchased at that stamp show.
When I was looking on the internet for nutcrackers to get some ideas of color combinations, I saw a set of very elegant ones. One of them was done in black, silver and white; and I decided to use that combination. Here's my version of that nutcracker.
Today's set has several sentiments but nothing that would work with this particular design, so I used a stamp from another MFP set, Dear Santa. Both words are on one stamp, so I had to improvise a little bit. I stamped it twice, covering the unwanted word each time.
Be sure to check out the participating blogs for today and comment often for a chance to win a free stamp set.

How old are you? Do you remember The Fifth Dimension? When I first saw today's stamp set, Hot Air Balloon, I immediately thought of The Fifth Dimension and their 1967 hit, Up Up and Away. Here's a little refresher if you'd like. Don't laugh at the clothes -- remember, it was the 60's! I got rid of all my old LPs a long time ago, but I found a photo on-line. I noticed on their website that they are still doing concerts.
Riding in a hot air balloon was on my bucket list. And I'm happy to say that I have crossed it off. For my 50th birthday, my husband arranged for me to go up in one. HE didn't want to go up, but the dear man bought me a ride! Actually, my neighbor (whose wife didn't want to do it) and I took an hour's ride over Central Florida, landing on the golf course at Walt Disney World!
My sister and her husband travel in their RV every summer. Last summer they were in New Mexico during the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival. Here is a photo she sent to me. She said it was 5:30 in the morning!

And she sent me an ornament that she purchased. I tried to use similar colors on my Top Note Box (directions for box were on a CD I purchased from Technique Junkies Newsletter).
Here's the inside of the box -- there are two compartments.
As you can see, I had fun with this set; and I'm sure the rest of the team did, too. Be sure to check out all the cards/projects they've created. And comment often so you have a chance to win one of this month's stamp sets!
