Chocolatize Me, Please!!

Leap Day happens only once every FOUR years, and to celebrate this rare day, Your Scrapbook Place is having a BLOG HOP today!!  As you will tell from the projects offered, out theme is CHOCOLATE-white, dark, milk, covering fruit, taking a bath in it--well, maybe not the bath part, but what a great theme to inspire your crafty sweet tooth!!
This is the starting place for the hop, so you are deliciously poised to enjoy great cards and projects.  Our first offering to your crafty sweet tooth is a Chipboard Album cover.  After covering the bare chipboard with red textured cardstock, I added coordinating patterned paper on the spine.  I chose to color an image from House Mouse & Friends, because the image matches my attitude, which is that "I never met a chocolate I didn't like..."

I finished off the cover with flower and jewel embellies and a sentiment to set the tone of my album: "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!"

Now, what is a blog hop without some blog candy?  First, follow this blog.  Then, leave a little love in the comments section of each blog on the hop for a random chance to win blog candy.  If you belong to the Yahoo Group, Your Scrapbook Place, make sure you mention that for a bonus giveaway!  Not a member?  Never fear, click on the button at the right to join us!

If you get lost along the way, here is the hop order to get you back on track:

The HOP goes until Friday night, so you'll have plenty of time to eat up all the inspirational projects along the way and leave some love.  Thanks for hopping with us again, and remember, keep crafting!!

    Oh I love your treatment of the chocolates, Pat. They are so realistic it's difficult to believe it's not a photograph of the real thing! You rock lady!

    I was a good girl while I hopped! I ate my oatmeal for breakfast and had my coffee! Everyone did a delicious job! Now my treat after dinner tonight will have to be chocolate. My husband will have to stop and get me something! Great job everyone!

    What a wonderful card! It made me smile just looking at it and boy if those sentiments don't fit me when it comes to chocolate. What a wonderful blog hop line up. I found it on Holly's site so I wanted to do the hop. I am your newest follower and I also join Your Scrapbook Place.

    I am permanently off of chocolate (medically) so this blog is going to hurt. Love this card, tho.
