National Choose Your Chocolate Day - September 16

It's National Choose Your Chocolate Day which I found out corresponds with the birthday of one of the great chocolatiers, Mary See of See’s Candies. Check out this post for some additional details on Mary See and this National day. 



I do love chocolate and look for any opportunity to celebrate any day with chocolate. Not to mention one of my favorite Stampin' Up! stamp sets is the Nothing's Better Than stamp set and Love You More Than Dies. A perfect combination to create a few cards in celebration of National Choose Your Chocolate Day!

This first card I made highlighting the color Mint Macaron is because I love Mint Chocolate. If available, I will always choose mint chocolate first! I love the sentiment - Chocolate, You Make Everything Better!!
