"Due to the current economic situation PaperTemptress has decided to slash ALL prices 15% until the economy gets better!
2009 is the year of CHANGE especially changing your cardstock to POP TONES which offers the highest quality with vibrant colors created to deliver that pop factor. So to start your year off I am offering Pop Tones packages at 25% off thru the whole month of January. " POP TONES cardstock "
Here is one of Pop Tone offering I mentioned really liking during my blogaversary: Hot Fudge! If you follow my blog, you know I use a LOT of brown, it's one of my favorite colors, looks great with anything, and SU!'s Chocolate Chip has always been the darkest brown I've used. Not anymore! I was amazed to see how "reddish" Chocloate Chip appear next to this rich, dark brown. I'll still use Chocolate Chip (think "Milk Chocolate"!), but this Hot Fudge is like Dark Chocolate, for chocolate lovers! (and I looove me some chocolate!!) :)I have a sample coming up with this paper I'm putting the finishing touches on (think "COOKIES"!) ;), as well as more color comparisons for you (gotta show it with some PINK!) ;)
How about you? What's your favorite color pairing with brown and or/how do you take your chocolate: milk, semi, dark, bittersweet...?
OH! Could you do me a favor if you have a minute? (pretty please!) Scroll to the bottom and sign my guest book if you haaven't yet, I recognize your names when you stop in, but so many of you don't have blogger profiles, and I'd really love to put a face with the name and find out where you're from! :) Thanks in advance!
Oops! Not sure if my original comment went through, but what I basically said was: I love your blog! So glad to be a subscriber! Hopefully this time I can get my url right. ;-)
ReplyDeletei love SU!'s chocolate chip, the color is so rich but if this is less red, then I'd love to find some and play with it. My favorite chocolate is dark chocolate. Smmmmoooooothhhh dark chocolate! Godiva is good stuff!
ReplyDeleteAqua and brown...one of my favorites. Prefer milk chocolate, but am getting used to the dark since it is better for you.

I Love a Milk Cholocate with pink colors!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm beginning to like blue and brown combos though I still like blue with green as it creates a bit of a *marine* look. I geuss that is just because I love torquise (spelling?) so much! lol

I love your blog!!

My name is Marg Roswell and l am from Kirkton Ontario Canada. As of March, l have been a Stampin Up demonstrator. I love your work and it is truly amazing what you can create. Hopefully in time, my work will become just as impressive ( hopefully anyways)
ReplyDeleteaqua and mint with brown are my current favourites.
ReplyDeleteI sgned your guest book:)
hmmmm, a favourite? I just love chocolate, whichever kind comes my way ;)
ReplyDeleteI like almost any "flavor" of chocolate paper, and I like to add gold, and copper to the mix. My name is Karen and I hail from the 'burbs of Chicago.
ReplyDeleteI'm a DARK chocolate fan (sometimes bordering on the bittersweet)!
ReplyDeleteI love the dark chocolate, and when it has mint added to it, even better! I love the brown paper with almost any color, but I think pink and brown is a favorite for me! I usually just use nothing but SU cardstock, haven't really tried any other kind, but I am going to have to order the Gina K extra heavy white CS and give it a try, I have lots of wonderful things about it!
ReplyDeleteI love the dark brown color - hot fudge!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love chocolate! My favorite is milk chocolate!
Thank you for doing it for us Melanie!
I like Blues or Pinks with Chocolate. But I like to experiment too and see what hits me on any given day.
ReplyDeletecurrently I am loving the pinks, browns and greens - I too love chocolate chip with pretty in pink and mellow moss
ReplyDeleteand I love my Dove dark chocolate!
thanks for the info!
Sandra
My favourite combo is dark chocolate and light pink. Great colours for House Mouse stamps. However, I also like to use an aqua shade with brown. This new paper looks tempting to buy!
ReplyDeleteSharon
Yum!!!! I'm also a fan of SU!'s Chocolate Chip...but in reality I'm a dark chocolate lover. The darker and richer the better in my book. I always have some Dove dark chocolate handy when I'm stamping.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your cookies!!!
I like all chocolate! In papercrafting I pair it with pink or blue
ReplyDeleteLove these paper colors! My favorite chocolate combos are brn/pink & brn/aqua. Love your blog & glad I subscribed. I don't have one yet but I am working on it. - Marlene
ReplyDeleteI am a milk chocolate kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteAs far as color combos, I love paring up pinks and blues with brown. And also Lime green with Turquoise, and anything with black.
I am from Peoria, Arizona (by Phoenix) Love your blog!
I love chocolate and raspberry - yummy. I love to pair brown cardstock with any shade of pink.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
OH are you INSANE??!!!! LOL there's no such thing as ONE favorite chocolate!!! Am I right, ladies??? Hee Hee Milk chocolate for melting in your mouth, rich dark fudge for ice cream and even baker's chocolate for the holiday treats! (smile) My NEWEST favorite color with brown is shades of purple/lavender.
ReplyDeleteI opened a blog but haven't had time to get it started - HOW DO YOU DO IT and create the cards EVERY day?? You will hereby be known as "Mighty Woman"! Ha!
I am from Des Moines, Iowa though I miss the warm weather of Dallas as I sit here and look out at the 8" plus of snow we got Friday night AND yesterday!! Ugh!
Hi Melanie, I am from El Paso, TX. I love my hot chocolate sweet! My favorite brand of hot chocolate is one made using the "Abuelita" chocolate. You can even eat the chocolate like candy and it is delicious. I love pairing up my brown colors with pink shades. Looks like that new chocolate color will be great for making teddy bears. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMary
Pink and kiwi Kiss goes really well with brown. My favorite chocolate is dark. My really favorite chocolate is Oreo Cookie Chocolate. LOL I am the total Oreo addict.I gave up smoking and drinking wine a year ago and took up eating Oreos. Melissa
ReplyDeleteI can't put a favorite color combination with brown because I love LOTS of colors wtih brown! I like to use pink, aqua, lavendar, yellow, green, red, beige, and the list goes on. LOL As for how I like my chocolate, I like it DARK! I used to fight my Dad for the "Special Dark" miniatures that Hershey makes. YUMMY! Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMMMMM chocolate! I love to eat it, and scrap with it, too! My favourite edible chocolate is Lindor! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all forms of chocolate but dark is my favorite. I love to pair brown with pink. I may not comment each day but I love seeing your amazing work.
ReplyDeleteI love the SU Chocolate Chip color, I tend to pair it with all sorts of colors - red and pinks, light to medium blue and minty green.
ReplyDeleteI like milk chocolate best to eat, although there are some candy that tastes soooo much better in dark.
Ghirardelli's hot cocoa mix is the best!
Brown with pink, red, white, cream, teal - it goes with pretty much anything! My most-used color!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is milk chocolate.
I like chocolate in any kind it comes in. Dark chocolate is probably my favorite but I truly love all kinds. I do love SU's chocolate chip especially paired with pink and light blue but Hot Chocolate looks yummy too. I think that it might look awesome with red for a Valentines card.
ReplyDeleteI like to combine color of dark chocolate with gold or a carnation.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is bitter chocolate.
Helena
I agree with Tina . . . . . any chocolate is fantastic! I especially like dark chocolate with red wine, milk chocolate with hot tea!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Grand Rapids MI
I have 2 favorite colors pairing with brown: baby blue and baby pik.
ReplyDeleteI love raspberry & chocolate--especially for Valentine's Day
ReplyDeleteI like sage green with dark brown, but I'll have to try the other combos people have named. Dark, bittersweet chocolate all the way (*drool*)
ReplyDeleteI love putting pink, light green or light blue with brown. For other chocolate -- gotta have some milk chocolate. Love it!
ReplyDelete"How about you? What's your favorite color pairing with brown and or/how do you take your chocolate: milk, semi, dark, bittersweet...?"
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I have 2 color combos I simply LOVE to pair with browns...it's pink and aqua.
I'm more a milk chocolate girl...with caramel the best...YUM!!! Ok...now I'm drooling for some chocolate! ;P LOL!
Can't wait to see what you're making with the cookies! I recieved my set on Thursday I think and after MUCH CUTTING thank you Miss Mel...lol...I am so making something yummy soon! The cutting is well worth it though! Ok...now I'm off to raid my pantry for some cookies or chocolate! LOL!
Frankly I just LOVE brown so I think everything goes with but my faves would have to be pink or blue.
ReplyDeleteAs for my chocolate preferences - it would have to be milk chocolate!!
I love the color brown with pink or aqua. I saw some ribbon at a craft store-and just had to buy it(well, lots of it) because they were all the browns/pinks mixed in various ways. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite chocolate (now) is dark-thanks to my daughter
My comment is above this one. Sorry! I forgot to type in my name!
ReplyDeleteI love Dark Chocolate and Light Denim papers, also Dark Chocolate and Light Teal papers.
ReplyDeleteAs for eating chocolate.... I am allergic to it and haven't eaten any in 30 years. I used to be a fan of Dark Chocolate and my husband loves it big time. I make chocolate chip cookies every few weeks for my family but I don't eat any of them.
I enjoy visiting with you , each posting seems like a visit.Thanks so much!
Hugs from Michigan
I love blue and brown or pink and brown.
ReplyDeletethe new paper is a nice dark color...great! i like to pair pinks and aquas w/ brown as has been the trend recently. but i also love it w/ sage green and a dark tangerine color!
ReplyDeleteand as for eating, the darker the better!
no blog here.....

i love brown too! and love to pair it with so many things - it's hard to pick one. of course pink and blue but red is amazing!! and brown on brown - also fab!!
ReplyDeletei'll take my chocolate as milk. i'm not a big chocolate lover like most people are. crazy huh? i've been known to throw away chocolate b/c it just doesn't get eaten around here. don't hate me, please.
Blue or pinks w/brown
ReplyDeleteI like about any rainbow color with brown and have yet to find a chocolate that didn't like me. We had chocolate melting cakes on our cruise last year and it was about as close to heaven as one could get!!
ReplyDeleteBecky T
I love all of your great ideas. My favorite color with brown is teal. I am not much of a pink girl, but lately I have been liking alot of the artwork with pink.
ReplyDeleteRoxie
I like blues and pinks with browns; and while I like dark chocolate best will eat any kind. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBrown is like black, you can hardly do any wrong with that color! I probably use blues with it the most, but then I have no daughters and I'm not a girly-girl. I love my chocolate dark! Yumm!
ReplyDeleteI am a milk choc lover but for my paper I go for any chocolate color with a nice hint of teal to off set. I have a hard time to stay away from putting them on something I created!
ReplyDeleteLove brown with pink or blue.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your cookie card. It is so sweet. It's almost like you could pick it up and eat it. Thanks for sharing Marion
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate is always Yummy!!. I love Chocolate/Brown with pink, hot pink, and blue of any shade!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these colors! I think I love my milk with lots of hot coco!! you know it girl!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo S.
My favourite colour with brown is blue (something like Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turqouise). Brown with pink is a close second.
ReplyDeleteAnd the only kind of chocolate I like is milk chocolate! And thanks to that, I just had a mini-chocolate bar. Yum!
I didn't really think the SU Chocolate Chip was that great! Horrors to some, I am sure. Now, eating and making something paper-wise is two different things! I basically love chocolate but prefer milk chocolate to bittersweet but in paper - the darker the better. I guess I really have yet met a chocolate I didn't like - just varying degrees! I like aqua or turquoise and some teals with browns or certain pinks as well. Mint goes well too. But, then we have fall colors too. I don't have a blog but I sure enjoy reading them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the fun stuff!

I have always loved the chocolate chip from SU so I am sureI would love these new browns. I like using pink or grey tones with browns.
ReplyDeleteWOW, another pretty card and so feminine too! I wish I had the cookie stamp..maybe I'll get one soon. I love the scalloped edges on the card too, It really compliments the card. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteChocolate! Who cares what kind it is as long as it's chocolate!! I like to use pink, cream or aqua with brown. I've used red with it too, if it's the right shade of red or brown. Love your blog.
