Been gone to long!

Hi everyone, I know that I have been gone a long time and I apologize for my absence. I have missed you all. Life just seems to keep getting in the way of stamping. UGH!!!!
Anyway, back to creating.
I made this card for Flourishes "Timeless Tuesday Challenge." The sketch is by Kimberly Crawford, a very talented lady. I just love Flourishes stamp sets. They are so elegant and the gals there are so kind. You'll have to pay them a visit. You can find them at: Flourishes

I made this little plaque for my stamping buddies just because I love them. I made each of them a little different so the two gals who haven't gotten theirs yet will still be surprised. I had so much fun designing this piece not only because it was for my friends but because it had to do with CHOCOLATE! What could be better than that? (tee hee).

Stamps: Chocolate Delight House- Mouse and I Love Chocolate House-Mouse
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, GP White, Doodle Bug designer paper

I covered the front and back of a piece of firm chipboard with Chocolate Chip card stock and added a little hanger on the back. I used a piece of my hardware hodgepodge for this.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day.

One of the gals in my stamping group gave a us a challenge to use this crown stamp and designer paper to make a "Little Work of Art". This is what I came up with. I was laying in bed ( that's when I come up with some of my best ideas LOL) and I thought that a crown needed a frog under it and of course the frog had to have big red lips. Sounds about right, don't you think?
