The Complete Book of Chocolate

Edited to add: If you'd like the pdf download, visit SCS here. There were soooo many requests I couldn't keep up. Please note: This design is copyrighted and may not be reproduced for sale or publication.

Good Morning!
Now I know there are many books out there all about chocolate but how many actually have real chocolate INSIDE and a list of reasons to consume it without guilt?? ;-)
I came up with the design for this book a while ago for a birthday gift. I have since altered the Table of Contents so it can be used for ANY day...after all, chocolate has no limits, is good for us and calms the savage beast, right?

For this one, I used what is nearly the end of my Stampin Up Ginger Blossom DP. In the original, I used a belly band to keep it closed. There's a picture of it in my gallery on SCS. This one was a special order for a doctor so I wanted it to be a bit less cute and a bit more elegant....Of course, once it's opened the fun begins:
There is a "Table of Contents" that prints out on the first page, the last page is blank so your personal greeting can be added. This is a close-up of the inside wording. Sorry for the glare, I took this late at night and just couldn't capture the colors accurately.

Supplies:
SU Ginger Blossom DP, SU Textured Groovy Guava CS,
SU Very Vanilla CS, Groovy Guava & River Rock ribbon
Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Mono-Multi, SU Full of Life stamp set, SU Polka Dots & Petals, printer
I'd love to know what you think!
Blessings and Happy Stamping!
Charlene
