You look like a monkey, and you act like one too!

Admit it, you all sing the line at the end of the "alternate" version of Happy Birthday.....
Well, here we have another Birthday card using those fab Imaginisce papers - I know, you all are very bored of them I'm sure, but hey, sticking to the same colors/papers for a few cards in a row is good for the productivity - I don't often do this since I get bored, but it can make things a little faster.

For today's card, I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop - I had a bit of trouble with the vertical line at first, but I think it came together okay. I do still love these colors, especially for Birthday cards! I even used my new nestabilities and some much neglected Bella Bling!

I managed to get a couple more cards done this evening, so I should have lots to share this week!
Happy Friday Night! And yes, it is still very cold here....
Nighty night,

Shanna :)

p.s. If anyone would like to play "Play it Forward" with me, see this post - I will send you a homemade/handmade goodie if you choose to play along.

    Another great card from this paper line. Love how you layered the Nestability cut-outs. Amy and I had a great evening scrapbooking together and I got my first Christmas Card done for Sparkle's Challenge. Woohoo!!!

    I love this paper line and you know I am a sucker for monkeys of any kind! I like the vertical line as it draws you right into the monkeys.
