I thought the monkey from SU!'s soon to be release Sock Monkey set would be adorable to use on my scrap pages and so naturally I thought of the Enjoy Every Moment set. They couldn't come together more perfectly and excited to share how I put them together using this week's SCS Sketch Challenge (SC185) and so here's my take on the sketch.
I added an embossed grid to the first layer of the card and so this qualifies for this week's Technique Lover's Challenge (TLC177) as well.
I used the Canvas background to give the monkey some texture. You can find that and more details on my blog:
