Welcome! Monkeys monkeys and more monkeys

With limited resources ( with out my corner for the next 2 mo.)

I was able to pull off a few more cards!

I hope you enjoy

I love paper and many times I let the paper be the focal point of the card. With a lot of fussy cutting and some creativity it allows me to make some nice cards.

This card has 2 tags one for each child when our hero writes home.

 I like to add a little something extra to each card whether it is a tag, a special fold,

or even a keep sake charm.

This paper was genrously donated by my Stampin Up representative! Thank you P.W. 

Made from all cuttle bug products and sentiment from Stampendous.

                                             Entire card was made with various stamps and Bic markers

(sorry copic friends- i am a bic and sharpie user)

 Thanks for stopping by.
