Catching up...

I've been a little behind updating my blog, mostly because last week I was in Chicago for the Craft & Hobby trade show (aka CHA). If you would like to see a bunch of pictures of all the great things I saw just check out my FaceBook page to see them. Click the link below...

Monkey Business! Scrapbook Lounge (1)

The booths there were so fabulous! All the paper crafting companies did a wonderful job.

This card above is made with one of the new My Favorite Things stamp sets. The kite is in the set but I used some twine instead. The clouds are also a die from MFT too. The inside reads "Happy thoughts are coming your way".

Her dress is colored with Copics R83 and R85.

On this card I used another brand new stamp set from Cats Pajamas. The cloud border is also one of their new dies too.

All of the papers were from a 6x6 My Minds Eye paper pad... everything coordinates that way!

I used Copics T0, T3, R46, and YR07.

The sale will be in the parking lot of Monkey Business from 9:00 until 1:00 pm on Sunday, August 7th.

You will price and cash out your own items!

Sellers need to bring their own table, chairs, and change. Some have brought yard tents in the past to stay out of the sun.
