Chocolate For The Third and Final Time(Maybe)

Ok another chocolate card.  This one uses a Lindt Chocolate Ladybug.  I made this one for Mojo Monday mojomonday.blogspot.com sketch challenge.  This is the first challenge I have entered where you follow a sketch.  It came together easily once i decided what chocolate to use.  Then I just had to find coordinating papers.  I debated on whether to use red and black like the candy and some embellishments I had or to use some pink and green ladybug paper from Nana's Kid Stack(DCWV)  I ended up using all of it.

Chocolate Again

Todays card I made  for a  cricutless challenge.  However I didn't scroll all the way down and found out you were supposed to follow a sketch.  So I decided after hopping on the friendship blog that I would send this card to a blogger who inspired me to start a blog.  I started to view craft tutorials on u-tube.  I had no idea how much information was out there.  One of the first crafters I followed was Mary at Cardztv.  I decided to add a cricut cut out inside, since I wasn't entering the contest.
