Congrats to Toni, QFTD! How great it was to get to know you via your gallery. I loved this card, and cased it to make a Valentine for my grandson, Jonathan. He loves monkeys, and I have been itching to use this paper. Your layout was perfect and I loved how you tied the bow. Enjoy your reign Toni!
This is also for the Twisted Sister challenge for this week- "It's all about Paper". I have had this paper for some time, knowing it was destined to be mailed to Wyoming. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado, and is stamped on Crumb Cake and stitched up, (thanks to Kokirose and her in-home sewing classes).
Thanks for looking!

Pat, this is fabulous! Who doesn't love those sock monkeys? I have this same paper and the matching stickers. They have been sitting on my shelf for a long time. I just like to look at them from time to time. Love your sentiment...adorable. And, that cluster of hearts and brown bow are perfection. Another smashing card. May have to change your screen name to...are you ready for this..."patsmashing!"
Hi Miss Patty! How adorable. I knew it was for Johnny before I ever read your write up. He is going to have so many wonderful memories from his grandma. What is he going to call you? I like all of your details on here. The paper is cute and look at that fancy stitching.

Aw, Sis, I can picture Jonathan's eyes light up when he sees his monkey card from Mimi and Gramps!! Your Heart is all over this card - from the embossed hearts everywhere to the stitching, and that big ole bow - I am tickled you found something special between the two of you with his monkey!!
I giggle to think what a certain friend will think when she sees this Monkey card!! LYMI!!

Pat, your grandson is lucky! This is something to be cherished. That sock monkey paper is something else with all your stitching, extra hearts and embellies!
