Monkey Love Box of Cards




Monkey Love, a new set by C.C. Designs of All That Scraps, was revealed while I was up at CHA. This morning I had time to play with this fun little set. I decided on a love set all packed up in a fun box for presentation. Sharon Johnson (notimetostamp) provided the box inspiration, her beautiful sample was in the Scor-Pal booth at CHA, and wow, irl, looks a zillion times cooler than on her blog! What a fab project, Sharon!

Anyway, a fun box, 3 fun cards and envies, sitting out on a desk, a pretty cool gift set! As I have mentioned in the past, gift sets generally have a commonality, something that unifies them if they are different cards; here it's papers, ribbons and brads. Stamps, ribbons, and patterned papers are available at All That Scraps, inks are Adirondack, Versafine, and SU!, Cardstock is SU! and Neenah, Accessories are May Arts and SU!

Have a wonderful weekend!
