A pile of monkeys & a gift box

I’m sorry!!!  I was on such a roll last week with my posting and then we had a funeral for a relative to go to and dramas with our kitten.  I’ve had medical appointments for Lara this week and 3 classes as well!!!  It’s been very busy!!  But i’m here now!!!  LOL

The following cards are a bit of a joke.  Several of the Australian Demos do not love the Sock Monkey.  I think that’s been established before!!  Well, this week I got the Sock Monkey stamp set and I whipped up these cards to give to some of those demos!!  I’m going for a little day trip up to Noosa to visit them on their incentive trip.

And on the inside i’ve added a little something extra:

At convention in May I tried to snap pics of a bunch of demos with my monkey.  I couldn’t find all the pics but i’ve found enough to have a bit of a laugh with a few demos!!  The stamp on the inside says “you and moi?  ooh la la!”.  Which makes me laugh when I think of it in terms of said people with my monkey!!!  LOL.  The picture above shows Alisa Tilsner getting up close and personal!!  I’ve even made a card for Shelli Gardner & enclosed the picture I took of her and the monkey!!  Can’t wait to see their faces as they open their cards!!  I crack me up!!  LOL

The gift box following is for a fellow demo and good friend Yvonne Campbell.

And inside the box:

I have done another box and taken pics step by step as I made it.  I should be able to get that up on the blog by the end of the weekend for you all.  I’ll have the instructions and measurements then.  The finished box was 7″ x 7″  x 2.5″.

Ok better keep running now, I’ve got a bit of a drive ahead of me!

Until next time!
Happy stamping!!
