Silly Friends
Ahhhh…Sunday. And I got to sleep in. After a tremendously long day yesterday (up at 4:30 for the last swim meet of the season, home for a few hours, then a big end-of-season swim party), I was SO ready for the extra snoozing. Sadly, our team came in second…second by only 80 points!!! How painful. It was such a close meet. We still have the team banquet tonight then that’s it until next summer. It’s such an intense couple of months. In a way, it’s a relief to be done, but we also will feel like something is missing from our days. I’m certain we’ll still be at the pool, but it will be nice to not have to be there at 8:30 every morning. 
Friends No Matter What
What is it about these Stampendous Changito monkeys???? I don’t know why, but lately, I’m just drawn to them. I think they’re adorable. I got mine here and I see that they already have a bunch of the new ones!
I’ve always liked this image. It just cracks me up. I used Copics for coloring and I added a bit of clear gel pen on the spit (that sounds so bad) and tongue. I scribbled in the grass with a black marker, outlined the monkeys with a gray Copic and added some wonky stitching around three sides of the lighter patterned paper.
We’re off on a hunt for the newly released Star Wars figures (whatever they are) and there’s a scrapbook store scheduled into the itinerary for me! YAY! Maybe I’ll find some fun new stuff! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Busy summer for you! The banquet will be great fun! Love your monkey’s and paper! Good luck shopping! Deb
I love this, Michele — so cute!! Great colors!
We’re finishing up the swim season this week, too! I’m sure we’ll find something to fill the time!
This is too cute! I love that you emphasized the “spit”!! Enjoy your break from the tough swimming schedule. Pretty soon it will be something else!
Stunning card and how cute are the monkeys!
Love the combination of the papers and great colours
This is soooo cute! Your coloring is awesome as always!! So sweet!
soooooo CUTE!!! I love the paper “ribbon” through the WeR buckle!
Adorable Michele, hehe love the spit!! I think I just might buy that stamp just for the spit!!
This is just the cutest ever!! Love the great papers you selected to go with it.
Tee hee hee! Hahahahaha! What a cute card, cute stamp, cute sentiment!! Second is good even though it’s not what you all had your hearts set on. Congratulations for that! I’m happy that you’ll maybe get to sleep in a little later now (I hope). Geez, even 6:00 is better than 4:30!
This is so very cute, and I know what you mean about those monkeys!
Your color is great, and I love your paper ribbon in your hardware!!
