We have a chocolate theme this week. Create something, anything to do with chocolate. It can be a box or package to hold some chocolate, you can use a chocolate stamped image, or you can just use the color of chocolate.

It's Friday The 13th!!
Are you superstitious? I'm not, so Friday the 13th doesn't mean much to me when it falls on a Friday, although today is a special day. It is my dad's birthday. This is the last of our Birthday's for a while (yesterday was my Ryan's 5th birthday!!!). The last month has been has been fun, but I am tired of Birthdays! We have one more party to get through (Ryan's tomorrow morning at Chuck E. Cheese. He is practically jumping out of his skin, he is so excited) and then there is nothing until summer time. Here in blog land this Friday means it's a Stamp Something day and a Unity Hip Hop Hangover day(I actually got to hip hop a little yesterday and hang out in the Unity forum AND I won a prize). Guess who this week's challenge hostess is? Give up? It's ME! I have a fabulous bunch of loot to give away to one lucky winner. I am paying it forward and sharing some of the winnings I received in my Paper Craft prize box (from their World Card Making Day contest). The box was HUGE and I could never use everything they sent me. Wanna see the prize you can win? There are Melissa Francis stamps and rub-ons, Maya Road floral embellishments, Chipboard frames and some pretty spring brads. Come play along and be sure to link your creation to the Stamp Something Blog.
Here's my challenge card. I was all about my favorite color, chocolate chip. I used retired, Au Chocolate paper (SU), Chocolate grosgrain, chocolate chip ink, and then I couldn't resist one of my favorite Unity images, the Choloate Kiss (from the Dec. KOTM). The next card is just an extra for those of you following the Hip Hop Hangover blog hop. It is a Unity card I did yesterday for the Hip Hop Challenge-Unity takes Flight. We had to use an image of something that flies. I love these little owls (from the October KOTM). The dp is from the Weather Vane series of dp by Ocotober Afternoon. I am sooooo happy Mandy got some OA in the Limelight store. Speaking of Limelight and Unity you might want to check out their sale this week. I see handles on sale (and a few other things)! Thanks for stopping by. We are off to the Aquarium today with some friends. Hugs, Lisa
