Hey, Hey, We’re the Monkeys!

Published by Shel9999 at 10:02 am under C.C. Designs, My Designs

Good morning!  Wow, it’s been a super-busy week for me.  I can’t believe it’s Thursday already.  And still so much to do…oh well.  At least it’s “work” I enjoy!  :)

JHR2These little monkeys are just so much fun!  They’re from a new set by C.C. Designs called Monkey Love, available Saturday at 10 p.m. from All That Scraps.  The stamp sets are now being packaged in CD cases-love that!!  Also being released are three new background stamps…Plaid, Hearts and Dots and they’re a full 4 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ (give or take a tiny bit).  Also, in case you didn’t know, there is now an All That Scraps blog!  Check it out here and scroll down a bit for their giveaway!

For this card, I used the new Plaid background.  I tilted the monkey stamp so he would look like he’s really hanging. The sentiment just fit in SU’s small tag punch.  It’s hanging from some oval Making Memories jump rings I’ve had forever.   The flowers are Bitty Bazzill Blossoms.  As I’ve mentioned before, I consider myself totally flower-challenged…I hope they look ok.  I’m never sure. (lol)  I added some tiny stitches here and there around the plaid background.  They’re a bit hard to see, but I thought it just looked too plain sitting on the dotted paper.

TH1This is my favorite of the two monkey stamps.  I love those out-stretched arms, just waiting for a hug. :)  I used the Heart background, faux stitching around the edges.  If I had brown thread, I would have machine stitched.  (It just would have been faster and I like the added texture of machine stitching on cards.) 

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Have a great Thursday!!
