Welcome to the August Stamp of the
Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring August’s Stamp of the Month, A Chocolate Affair, a set of 16 stamps. If you have came here from Laurie’s Blog,
you are on the right path. The blog hop is a great big circle, you can
start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way,

I created my card with the ProPlayer papers. A little out of the box for this paper line, but I really loved the Ruby red print! I added a little texture to the slate print with second generation Ruby ink. My card is based on the sketch challenge this week at Mojo Monday!
I went with the inspiration photo at Just Us Girls to make my “white chocolate” covered strawberries! I love all chocolate, but white chocolate is my favorite!
