Chocolate Lover's Survival Kit




Happy Valentine, Friends! Jana here! I've been getting excited for Valentine's Day . . . my kids and I have started on their class Valentine cards and I've been thinking of something special to give their teachers, grandparents and other close friends.



we are excited to have you here with us, we have a wonderful giveaway that ends today, be sure to head to this post here

If you are anything like me Valentine's Day = Chocolate! So what better gift to give fellow chocolate lovers than a Chocolate Survival Kit? :D



I had a bead organizer on hand that I picked up at a craft store a few months back. I believe it was $2. You can also find containers like these at dollar stores.



I decorated the front with some cute patterned papers layered together. I embossed the top layer with a Cuttlebug Valentine embossing folder I purchased from HSN. I then die cut the letters out of cardstock using the Olivia (brown) and Red Tag Sale (white) alphabet dies for the Cuttlebug. I embellished my label with some ribbon, paper hearts and dimensional stickers to finish it off.                            



Inside I filled the compartments with all kinds of chocolate treats. They look so cute and colorful presented this way! I hope the recipients will be delighted with their kits full of chocolate. :)



Thanks for coming by today!
See you next time!

Jana, your creation is fabulous... Wow!! I do have containers like this. I have plenty. What I have in mind, this is only for beads and punch-outs. Never came to my mind to use it for these things..
