Monkey Love

This is my interpretation of the sketch from Beary Box for this week. I loved the layout, but was perplexed by the "trees". I decided to go with hearts, covered them in stickles and called it done. You can see that I stamped on the ribbon, and that it feathered a little. I'll try a different ink next time and see if that makes a difference. Head over to the Beary Box blog to see what the other designers have done with the sketch and then be sure to link to the Beary Box blog to win this week's fabulous prize.

Here is the detail shot:

Well, with my birthday on Saturday, the boys are trying to figure out what we are going to do. We typically go out to dinner and that's it, no gifts for the adults anyway. Hopefully, they'll choose The Olive Garden...it's one of my favorites. Last year, they took me to Red Lobster. I rarely partake in shellfish as Duke is so allergic. Well, he decided to try the shellfish anyway and became VERY ill. His face swelled up and he could barely talk because his throat was swelling as well. Almost cost us a trip to the emergency room. Needless to say, he said it wasn't worth it!! So, I won't tempt him with shellfish again.
