For the life of me, I have no idea why this set has a love/hate relationship with stampers. It was the only set that I maybe wanted during the demo preorder.
So this is for a dear, dear friend who hates sock monkeys....haha.
The square portion IS the layout...and it is a card that opens up. The cocoa base is 4.25x5.5.
I look forward to reading your reason behind loving or hating this monkey. haha

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing like a custom made card to make our friend smile!
I personally loved the sock monkey I had as a kid...but the stamp set doesn't do much for me.
Until now! ;-)

I am shocked that there are so many that HATE it. I love it because it originated from my hometown. Rockford IL. There was a swedish sock company called Nelson's socks. They created the socks and women started making monkey's out of them. They are still popular today in this town. I love your card. Very cute. I am on the band wagon FOR the monkey. Great job...

Put me down for liking the sock monkey. I have three reasons: 1) these were popular when I was much younger; 2) my daughter and her husband look for monkeys on cards they exchange; and 3) my best friend has this affection for sock monkeys and talks about the one she had as a child all the time. The stamp is cute. We used it at stamp club this month, and I really love the card we made. I don't think I'll buy the set, but I like looking at the cards everyone makes with it. Glad you asked???

Dawn, when I saw your title for this card I said out loud "WHAT?!" And I just started laughing when I read your comments.
As soon as I saw this stamp set I thought it was cute because he reminded me of Curious George, but honestly I've only used him once so far.
I do love how you turned his smile upside down! So funny! Your friend will get such a kick out of this. You should send her a sock monkey card every month! LMBO!!!
