Love that New Sock Monkey!

What a fun day! ! ! . . . I find that putting a little creativity into each day makes life more relaxing. On Thursdays I get together with my new, WONDERFUL, FUN, CREATIVE friend Valerie. (Be sure to check out her blog -http://pixiedreamdesigns.blogspot.com/).

Anyway . . . we were working on a lot of fun projects. First we did a sketch challenge #1 that Jen has posted on her blog here http://expressivelyme.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-little-cs-aloha-weekly-challenge-1.html . Here is my card . . . Valerie made a CUTE, CUTE card too . . . Be sure to check her blog to see her card and her other fun cards and projects! Don't cha just love those itsy-bitsy button brads (I got them from TAC).



Here is a card I made for Valerie . . . just 'cause . . . to THANK HER . . . for being such a great FRIEND. What do you think? I also used the new Happiness Always stamp set from Stampin' Up! to make the palm leaves. The base of the tree is scored and cross-scored and then sponged on the edges. I used the brown Flock on the monkey to make him fuzzy . . .



Here are a couple of other cards we did using another sketch we found and CTH stamp images . . . They are too cute! I JUST LOVE THE EMBOSSING . . . Gotta get me a cuttle bug . . . Thanks Val for letting me use yours!





And last but not least (never underestimate the size of a card - this one is 3 x 3) is a little card Valerie made for me as I was cleaning my "mess". Isn't it too cute!
