Go Bananas!

Hello! As soon as our family left, I was off to my room to finish two cards that need to go in the mail to be received by the weekend. I will be showing you one of the cards today and the other I will post in a couple of days to give the recipient time to receive it. I want her to have it in the mail before she sees it on my blog! The card for today I made for my niece, who on July 5th will be turning 23! I can't believe she is all grown up! So, I bet you can guess I used a monkey stamp for her card ... if I remember right... she loves monkeys! And when you are adult, you get cute animal cards! With all the animal cards I make, I must think we all going through our second childhood! I used a stamp set from Inky Antics I got back in January. Friends had stamped off the images, but I had never stamped them. Which is crazy, because at the scrapbook convention last month, I got another monkey set from the same company. The set I used today, I also used on the other card I will be showing you in a few days. Here it is ... Enjoy!

Cute, huh? The birthday paper with all the bright colors totally makes this card! The inside sentiment says "It's Your Birthday Go Bananas"!
