A Coffee Drinking Monkey!

So, this card has been working its way around my head for awhile now. As soon as I saw the little mug from the Bitty Basics hostess set, I knew it was made for the Sock Monkey!! I used Kristina Werner's color challenge colors in this, too. I thought they were great this week so I had to give it a second try! Hee! Here is the card:

The sock monkey is watercolored on watercolor paper. I kept the card simple so that he would really take center stage! I added a little foam on his coffee with liquid applique. He makes me smile!

Thanks for stopping by today! I will be busy doing inventory at my favorite scrapbook store today and tomorrow but I hope you have a great weekend!!

Wishing You a Happy Heart...

So, I bought this set out of the current SU! mini catalog about a month ago... Here I am, finally using it! I have always loved dandelions so it is right up my alley! I am hoping to make lots of cute Valentines cards with it in February. Today I am using it for Kristina Werner's latest Color Inspiration Challenge! I am so thankful every time she adds a new one to her blog... they are my favorite! Hee! And, if you want to see something funny, check out her pictures and video from Halloween at Stampin' Up! It cracked me up this morning!

Edited to add: I missed the time period... I swear it said Friday!

Anyways, here is her inspiration for us:
