When my brother was a child, he had a sock moneky buddy. We have an endearing photo of him on the first day of kindergarten, standing by the front entrance to the school, clutching his monkey friend. So, whenever I see sock monkeys, I think of my dear brother with tender love. I think this card captures that tender sock monkey feeling.

Beautiful bg paper and I love how you antiqued it by sponging on brown to the edges! I also can't believe you have sock monkey brads, they are way too cute!

A gorgeous card Teri, love the beautiful BG and gorgeous monkey brads. My cousin had a monkey that became a family heirloom, even when he was twenty the monkey was always hanging around somewhere.

I have to admit, I've never been a sock monkey fan, I'm not that crazy about monkeys in general (I should be, I know), but a few years ago, my sister gave me a pair of wool sock monkey socks and they are my favorites. Those brads are so cool, look great on that background. So well done.
