The first time I saw this brand new, soon to be released Sock Monkey set & the new Bella Rose DP from SU, I knew I wanted to combine the two and do a little paper piecing! This was a super fun card to make. Plus, I got to use more of the new in-colors, Riding Hood Red & Pirouette Pink. I've been using the new '08-'09 in-colors all week...I can't seem to put 'em away. The inspiration for this card started with a great little sketch from the Great Swapper Girl blog...be sure to surf on over and check it out! Speaking of inspiration, I need to catch up on awards. I was honored to receive this award last week from both Patti & Emma! Thanks girls, you both put a HUGE smile on my face & totally made my day!!!

okay.. I didn't think it was possible, but you have made me a sock monkey believer. Somewhere between coming over for a club one night and becoming an instant demo you have become an unbelievable stamper. How blessed am I to be able to hang with you every now and then. Thanks for the award I 'll get to it early next week. Busy weekend! Tom plays the kaffe tonight then off to a big weekend bday bash. Love you!
Nancy, thank you so much for the award. Believe me, it came as a complete surprise. I am learning a lot since visiting so many wonderful blogs, especially colouring. Do I have to do anything after being awarded? I don't know. All I know is to enjoy making my cards.
? Your sock monkey cards are such fun :o) The colours used on the second card are so cheery.
God bless you and yours.
Hugs.
