I have been following Cristina's blog since, I believe, July and I LOVE every single project she posts. She has such a fine attention to detail and she uses techniques I never would have thought of if it weren't for her blogging and YouTube(ing).
~Is that a word? It should be.~
Cristina and I both live in Western New York and I have had the privilege to meet her and crop with her at Michael's along with a couple other area bloggers. I love the crafting and blogging world. If it weren't for our ability to blog I never would have met Cristina and she's not only talented she's a sweetheart and funny as well.
*Warning: She can and will talk your ear off. LOL*

To celebrate her ONE YEAR BLOGAVERSARY she has organized this hop and I am honored she has asked me to be a part of it.
We had the freedom to do any project we wished to do that was inspired by her. As soon as I heard this I KNEW I wanted to make this.....
This is a Ghiradelli Chocolate Square holder.
These are quick and easy to make.
Cristina has an instructional YouTube video you can view here.
You could also use tea bags instead of chocolate if you prefer.
Here are a few more pics.
Yummy! Who doesn't LOVE chocolate?
The beauty of these little things is that once the base of the project is done the rest is really up to you. You can decorate them any way you choose. You can use stamped images on the outside or the inside. I chose to decorate the outside of this one with a doily and a paper flower. (You can view my tutorial of these flowers here.)
Isn't it pretty? I found that, like Cristina said in her YouTube tutorial video, double sided card stock really is the best thing to use with this project but I have made a few with solid card stock (to be used as shower favors) and they came out nice too.
I hope this project inspired by Cristina has inspired you to try something different and new.
Your next stop in this celebratory hop is Joanna's blog.
Happy Blogaversary once again Cristina!
Keep Kreating,
Erin
