SOCK MONKEY COUNTDOWN


It's torture. I had sock monkey dreams last night. Me coloring his little feet, cutting him out, dancing around my studio with him..

Well not really - that's just ridiculous. But he's coming!!! We've got about 48 hours to sock monkey touch down here at command and control and we are READY!!!

In the meantime, here's a little ditty for you. This was the card I made that aired on yesterday's Understand Blue Paper Arts show. It's a soft sky base, with two pieces of MARTHA STEWART SELF ADHESIVE RIBBON!! This stuff is amazing. it comes wrapped on a card and completely changes putting ribbon on cardstock - no glue dots, no worrying that your snail will let go and your ribbon will fly off - it's smooth, straight, flat, perfect!! Or as we used to say in the days of disco - DEAD SOLID PERFECT!!!

Then a Martha pennant, two Martha self adhesive gorgeous blue rhinestones, and the cupcake image from ABC Images, accented with a Copic marker and Martha blue glitter. *sigh*

So fun.

Headed up to Marmalade Skies this evening for family night - I can't wait!

Then my two batches of dueling lemon bars (Martha's recipe vs. the Cook's Magazine recipe) will be finished and we'll see who wins!!!

  2. I can't wait to see the sock monkey!! My SU Demo is vacationing for a month, so I have had no news about this other than your great blog.
    Sock monkeys mean a lot to me, my beloved grandpa loved them for some kooky reason. There is a mini sock monkey that holds flowers at his graveside. I know, we are crazy!!! But he would love it :-)
    I gotta make a sock monkey cards for my family!
