I have been wanting to share with you the Sock Monkey cards that I made for my convention swaps. I did not realize until I was at convention that some people have issues with sock monkeys, like the whole clown thing, they freak them out! Some of you reading this may feel this way, so I wont say anything about how weird that is, cause it is totally understandable how someone could be afraid of a stuffed animal made out of socks! Just teasing you all! I think he is cute and am having fun with him. So here is the first card I made for my swaps, Sock Monkey Baby Boy Card:
Here is the Recipe:
Stamps: Sock Monkey, Spunky Spots Jumbo Wheel, Holidays and Wishes
Ink: Bashful Blue, Creamy Caramel, So Saffron, Basic Black
Paper: Same as above and Whipser White (no Basic Black CS)
Accessoires: Stipped Bashful Blue Grosgrain
For my actual Convention swaps I used the Polka Dot background, since I found out that the Spunky Spots Wheel was retired. It was equally as cute.
Now for my favorite convention swap, Sock Monky goes to the Ball Game!
I can not recall how this idea came to me, but I do sing the "Take me out the the ball game" song to my daughter. (She likes me to sing to her at bed time.) So, I printed the song out, as a background element, using my Write me a Memory CD. Love how this card turned out. So, is he growing on you yet?
Here is the Recipe:
Stamps: Sock Monkey
Ink: Ruby Red, Bordering Blue, Close to Cocoa and Basic Black
Paper: Same as above and Whisper White CS, no Basic Black CS
Accessories: Word Window and 1/2" circle punches, White Gel Pen, Write me a memory CD II, sponge and dimensional.
Thanks for stopping by, I have a few more things to share with you in the coming days, now that things are settling down at home and I will be getting back into a routine. But, I have to say, Little girls are a little piece of heaven...
Wouldn't you agree!
Happy Stampin'
