Happy Valentine's Day (+ a week and a half)

I've been meaning to post the Valentine card I made for my hubby - how does life fly by so fast sometimes?!?!



I bought this cute 'Juggle Monkey' digital stamp image from dustinpike.blogspot.com. He has great stuff and it's really cheap, sometimes even FREE!! I bought my hubby Valentine boxer shorts that look just like this only in reverse colors many, many years ago - one of the reasons I wanted this image.



The 4 hearts and the monkey's face and bowtie are cut out and raised with pop-dots. The whole image is colored with Copic markers. I printed the 'Wild Thing' background on the computer and then cut it out with a Nestabilities die. I Cuttlebugged the embossed hearts, added a ribbon, a rub-on message and some heart brads. I had so much fun making this card. I also added 5 'Monkey Money' scratch off tickets inside - we hit the mega jackpot and won $1. We have decided to go all out and blow the whole thing at once. We're risky like that.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.....if you can remember back that far!! :)
