"A Chocolate Affair" and "You Are My Happy" Blog Hop

Greetings! I can't believe it is almost Fall! Time to get some crafting done :) I am excited to be a part of this blog hop to show some of the latest stamp specials that are available from Close To My Heart. You should have arrived from Michele's blog with her fun cards.

I had fun playing with "A Chocolate Affair" - I couldn't decide which kind of chocolate to make - just like when I am baking! I used colors and swatches from Pro Player. I was hesitating to use this because it is such a "guy" paper set but I found that the pages also work great as a neutral and I actually used an itty-bitty piece on top for my "sprinkles."  I also used my ever-handy Blending Pen to shade in the filling with my Ruby inkpad. Yum, I am going to go find some cake now! Head on over to see Lalia's Happy artwork!
