Monkeying around

It's Friday and we all deserve too... right? And who wouldn't love to hang out with this Swinging Monkey and he's ready to share his cupcake with anyone who wants to play with him.

I had this layout in my head ever since I got this stamp from Whipper Snapper Design but always thought it would be too much work and guess what.... it is, LOL! But, it's so worth it! I had the main image stamped in the middle of a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 whisper white card stock and used my oval Coluzzle to create a window and cut around him and the branch. I created a frame using oval coluzzle with chocolate chip card stock to high lite the image. The patterned paper is from a left over from this card. The cupcake is from Michael's dollar bin, covered with white liquid applique for a delicious icing and topped with a red dew drop as a cherry.

I probably over used this cupcake a lot but it's just a great addition to any card. Perfect when Skoober need to bring something to a birthday party, when Dude need to carry something on his back, Lauren's sketch challenge, or just sharing a cupcake just for you.

Happy Friday and hope you have a great weekend!
