Chocolate Bar

I think this really fits the W2SB #19: A Friend with Chocolate challenge.  Some days this sentiment is so true, but not nearly as often as it did when I was still working.  I am SO glad to be retired!  Making the chocolate bar was really fun!

I've been rearranging my "Crafty Lair" for days and finally got it put back together.  In the meantime, I've lost this stamp!!!!  This is what happens when I try to organize and create at the same time.
The chocolate bar was created using Spellbinders Nestabiltiies Square dies,
cut from yummy rich dark chocolate paper that I picked up at a local scrapbook store
and popped up with foam tape.   I used the same paper for the  background layer.
 (Now wish I'd bought a few more sheets.  It's hard to find this rich dark brown) 
Added aluminum foil from the kitchen drawer for the wrapper.
The checkered layers are from my scrap stash.
Stamp from ?

      Hi Sybrina, Yesterday it was exactly one year since I retired. I have not regretted it for one day, not even one minute! I'm also enjoying this chapter of my life. Love your challenges!

    What a great take on the chocolate challenge! I love how you created the partially peeled chocolate bar, and that rich, dark brown color represents a yummy treat perfectly! Great idea, and such a unique creation too! TFS your inspiration with W2SB!
