Little Monsters

Ok, let's just get this out of my system! I have 2 more cards using Monstermania that I made with the same image and on the same day I made the easel card. Yup, I went a little crazy experimenting with the coloring and could not let the images go to waste :)

This is actually the very first card I made with this set. It didn't feel quite right, not balanced or something...

....So I made this one! I like this one better. They are both going to Operation Write Home too. These are really fun images to color, and they are not huge so it goes fast. The Hugs and Kisses sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set, and fit perfectly with the feelings I wanted to convey with this card :)

Now, how about this for a "little" monster! This is Lily, one of our now 10 year old Golden Retrievers...

....with her sister Rose and one of my other little monsters, Geoffrey. My kids think it is perfectly fine for these dogs to be A) on the couch and B) Lapdogs!

Monstermaniacs Easel Card

Have you seen the newest In With You winner? Doris D. designed this fantastic set of lovable monsters :) Here is a link to a pdf that explains a bit about In With You and how to get this set. This fella just makes me think of hugs and tickle monsters. I wish my kids were still little so we could do tickle monsters... nut I will have grandkids, so I guess I will save it for them!

I used this sketch from Retro Sketches, and the StampinAddicts Pinterest Recycle Challenge #7- easel cards to make this one. It is going in the Operation Write Home box. I think it is just perfect for sending to a kiddo back home :)

This is a full sized card and I just added a score line at 2-1/8" on the card base front so that is stands up. I just used a skinny strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock as the stopper, and there is still plenty of room for a message inside.

Until the grandbabies start coming, I'll just have to giggle at this :)
