Good Sunday morning all! I have a fun cheeky monkey card to share today. I started by cutting three apertures using the
Double Pierced Circles, offsetting them across the coconut white card. I made three frames using the next die size up from the aperture size. I added mounting foam to them added them around the apertures. I cut three monkeys from the
Cheeky Monkey die set out tan card and used
Worn Lipstick on the mouth, ears and tummies. I used
Vintage photo for the noses. I added the monkeys with mounting foam into each of the apertures so they were all going different directions. I cut some vines out of a couple of shades of green card and added them around the monkeys for accents. The sentiment was cut out of tan card several times and stacked up for dimension. I glued it into the lower corner. The card was completed with white on white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Tressa, such a worthwhile project you are doing, many congratulations to you.
Laine, hope you are feeling better and can eat more comfortably now.

Helen thanks for the advice, trying to let it go over my head but it's hard. I do appreciate all of your support Ladies, it means a lot to know you are all behind me, my team is too but it still goes on.
Have a lovely day, hug basket overflowing, open fir all, some fir missing and poorly friends too.
Hello Sue,
Those cheeky monkeys are having a grand time hanging around with their little round bellies showing. They are bound to cheer up anyone with their antics. So clever and fun for all ages.
Have a wonderful day.

Really cute and cheerful card. Cheeky too.
Morning Sue. I remember smiling at this sample on the day you launched these dies. It bought childhood memories to the surface which I shared that day so won't repeat myself. It's the kind of design that will attract people to the market table so its a complete winner for me, and on the list 'my keeper' has that never stops growing, it's so frustrating having a birthday so close to the festivities as I'm being kept hanging around waiting in anticipation to see if it's part of my gift (see what I did then) lol so whether I receive it as a gift or a treat to myself, I look forward to using it one day hopefully soon ☺
We shall remember those that lost their lives as they fought for this country and those more recently taken from their families helping other countries to stay safe and rid themselves from the evil. As we hear the eerie boom fire from the cannon at a local memorial nearby We Shall Remember Them 🌺
Great card Sue.
Hello Sue these little monkeys are so cute. I love how the stitching really shows up against the colours you used for the monkeys. Carol x

Hi Sue,
These adorable little guys are incredibly cute and fun, but paired with that sentiment, they become very poignant indeed!
Krafty Runner x
Morning Sue, they really are cheeky little monkeys that make you smile. We have seen quite a few real 'cheeky monkeys/baboons ' on our travels here. One baby was sitting on his mother's back clutching an empty plastic bottle and staring at us as we waited for them to pass in front of the car.
An absolutely gorgeous card Sue. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Hugs xx Pauline in RSA

Good Morning Sue. Such a great fun card today Sue. I remember when this was shown on the launch I was on holiday in lovely warm Turkey..... and boy do I wish I was back there this morning......it's freezing here. I think this would make lovely children's cards and invitations.
I watched the remembrance service last night and June like you I had tears in my eyes. All those lives lost. ....but I have to say, my tears were of sadness and relief at the same time. Sadness for the ones that didn't make it home and for their family's. And relief for myself and my family that my son did come home. He did two tours in northern Ireland then He was posted to Iraq in the first gulf war. A terrifying time for me and my husband. He went on to serve 25 years in the army he worked his way up and came out as a sergeant major. We will be so proud of him this morning when he goes to our local little church wearing his medals in support of his comrades in all conflicts.
We will remember.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue, a lovely fun card this mirn8ng. I love the monkeys they are so gorgeous and cheeky.
Barbara V
Hi Sue
What a great card today, it would really make the recipient smile and cheer them up. Sometimes you need a card that just says things will get better don't you. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Adorable, cheeky & great fun for the children, but also it will bring a smile to the face of anyone going through a hard time, with those words particularly important. Thank you Sue for a bright card on such a dull morning.
Like Ann Topcards our son served 25 years in the army doing tours of Afghanistan, & Iraq to name a few & I know exactly what she means about the relief when they come home. The service last night always makes me cry & we must never forget those who gave their lives.
Hi Sue. This card is so cute. It would definitely suit my 15 month old grandson who i call my cheeky little monkey. Love it. Xxx
Morning sue this little monkey has been s great favourite with everyone love him and I know lots of peeps who would love to receive him as a card

Remembering my grandad who died on the first day of the battle of the Somme William O’Brien I will never forget you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Pam, as others have said this sentiment is for you.
Love Rosemarie X X
Hi Sue,
A lovely fun card with these cheeky monkeys.
Pam, this is definitely for you! Stay strong x
Like others I also watched the Remembrace Ceremony last night with a lot of tears - it's always the Chelsea Pensioners and the Last Post that gets me! We have so much to be grateful for to so many. I'll be watching the Centotaph ceremony this morning watching the march past with all those people proudly wearing their medals and listening to my favourite piece of classical music Nimrod. We will remember them 🌺
Love and hugs to all,Alison xx

Fabulous fun card, love it. Hugs xx Mad craftgirl
Lovely card.
Dear Sue and Wilsonettes,
These monkeys make me happy! This is at least the third way you've shown them, and they have fun no matter what the setting.
What an image you delivered, Pauline, of the baby baboon with a plastic bottle, watching you from the security of his mama's back.
Elaine, Well done to your husband getting you a Gemini, and don't you feel fabulously wealthy having more dies to pick out for your new machine!
May you all have a sunny Sunday.
Love,
Donita
Happy Sunday Sue
Todays card made me chuckle as these monkeys as they look very cheeky .
Pam ,i know its hard and the pressure must be getting you down , as Sues card says just hang in there , have taken a big hug and sending a couple right back to you . xxxx
Johns Dad was in the Somme battle, so many lost their lives on the first day he was lucky to get back home after losing a leg and nearly his life because of the poor medical care .
We will remember them .

Hello Sue,
Such a lovely happy card. Your cheeky monkeys are delightful. Love how you have framed them within it circles, they look to be having so much fun.
For those of you who have had or still have serving members of our wonderful armed forces, know that we are proud of the service they give to Queen and Country. My two girls were taught and now my small grandchildren are being taught to be thankful and to remember the fallen.
They will not be forgotten. 🌺

Monkeys are so comical and cute that I am sure even the cheeky variety get forgiven. Very sweet, light-hearted card today and a good one to brighten this cold, drizzly day here. My sister and I went shopping and stopped for soup to knock the chill off.
Thank you Pam for your wishes for my Mom. She turned 94. You hang on and chin up,Lady. don't let your cheeky boss get under your skin. She is not worth it.
Thanking all the veterans and family of veterans for their service. My Dad was in WWII.

An update: "Today, brave Jacob and his family are celebrating an early Christmas in the hospital, but they aren't celebrating alone.
The inspirational lad has been sent warm Christmas wishes from all over the globe, after his parents, Michelle and Roger, appealed for strangers to send in cards for their son.
And they have been stunned by the response of the 66,000 strangers who have penned letters of love and support and posted them to Jacob's hospital." Merry Christmas Jacob!
