Hi there fellow bloggers! I have a cheeky little fun card to share with you today. I'm sure we all know someone you could use a "Hang in there" card! I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Leafy Montage embossing folder. Next I cut a bunch of the vines from the
Cheeky Monkey die set in several different shades of green (from my craft stash). I glued them in place hanging downward from the top of the embossed background. I cut three monkeys out of tan card and inked through the dies with
Worn Lipstick and Vintage Photo. I hung the monkeys by their tales across the card. I cut the sentiment in both yellow and brown card and glued them together with the brown as a shadow and attached them in the lower corner. I used the same brown and yellow card as thin mats between wider white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card Sue, lovely to see the cheerful monkeys.
ReplyDeleteElaine I'm so sorry to hear your latest news. It is appalling that Andrews treatment was stopped due to funding, I hope and pray that the Consultant is strong enough to get the treatment. I can't imagine the pain you are going through waiting all the time for news and hopes dashed in this way. There are billions wasted in this country, money that our health service needs so badly. My prayers and hugs and support will always be there for you and Andrew and the family.
Myra, glad you were okay, sensible action to take.
Helen, slowly does it, it has been a long time fir you and hubby to be poorly.
Rosemary, thank you honey, there is no news on the heating ring fixed. It is reaching the legal limit within 2 hours but no higher, they are bringing in extra little heaters but they take too long to work in such a small space.
Dave was kept at the vets yesterday and put on a fluid drip, Kelky picked him up last night, she says he looks a bit better, had some warm milk and vet said to give him grilled chicken and rice only. He goes back today to see how he is doing. She sent me a photo last night with his orange bandage on his leg from the drip, poor mite.
Basket of heated hugs is full, help yourself. Sending hugs to poorly and missing friends.
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a very handy card to have. A cheeky card .
take care and have fun Kitty.
Cute and fun card.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteCheeky is the perfect word for this fun card, children would love it and a fun way to help anyone ‘hang in there’ when life throws us curved balls - all sorts of occasions

Hi Sue. I've started my day with a smile ☺ (although my day started at 4am) it starts in earnest when I log into the blog and what did I see, one of my birthday gifts from last month that I've not had chance to play with yet due to the festive season getting in the way, but I love this sample and I can't wait to get these cheeky little monkeys cut and start playing. This is one die that's really got my imagination going and that's a rarity for me lol. So thank you for today's happy feel good sample.
ReplyDeleteSending love and hugs your way xx
Good morning Sue. Love the cheeky monkeys. Hugs to all. Sue xxx

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, lovely card today, my granddaughter is always called a cheeky monkey by my son, she loves it, I think that this would be a nice card for her on her birthday in a few months time. Get your thinking cap on June !!!
ReplyDeletePam I reiterate all you have said. Elaine my thoughts and prayers go out to you, Andrew and Hellen that the treatment will commence again, it is such a stressful time for you all no wonder it is affecting you all too.
Pam - hope you have got your thermals on..............oh and pleased that Dave seems to be on the mend too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

A really fun and cute card.
ReplyDeleteThe monkeys are so sweet :))
Good Morning Sue. Such a cheery fun card today Sue, perfect for children and anyone feeling down who can look on the bright side.
ReplyDeletePam I hope little Dave is going to be ok. I feel for the animals as unlike us humans..... they can't tell you where they hurt or how they feel. But my little Gizmo....RIP my lovely Angel....always let us know in his own way when something was wrong.
Elaine,Andrew and Helen you are all in my thoughts at this troublesome time. On a lighter note Sue could not have put a better caption on her sample this morning... so from me also "Hang in There". My best wishes to all. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue - who wouldn't smile on receiving a card like this! It's a great card for cheeky children or anyone needing encouragement during a particularly difficult time. Sending best wishes
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet fun card - who wouldn't love these cheeky chappies popping through their letterbox!
Elaine - Andrew's Consultant on the warpath must be s sight to behold - let's hope he can bang a few heads together to make them see sense - thinking fo you all...

Dear Sue,
ReplyDeleteAlways up to mischief, those monkeys.
What a devastating blow to Andrew and family. We can still pray, the most powerful medicine yet.
It's cold in Illinois but luckily missing a snowstorm on the east coast.
Stay warm everyone?p.
Love, Donita

Hi Sue, lovely happy card. love Jean Z xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteYour cheeky monkey die is such fun but because I only make cards for family and friends I wouldn't get the use from it.
Pam I am glad Dave is on the mend.Elaine I can only imagine what you as a family are going through you are in my thoughts and prayers we are all hoping that his consultant manages to change the powers that be minds.
ReplyDeleteThis cheeky monkey card is gorgeous, love the
"Hang in there" too.
morning SUe,
ReplyDeleteMy NYR is to try and comment more on your posts this year instead of just reading them. I kind of fell by the wayside last year. I adore your cheeky monkey card, it's sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who would receive something similar.

Hi Sue, a fab card that brings a smile or laugh to cheer someone up. I love your cheeky monkeys they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, a great fun card. but with a serious sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Hi Sue, I love this card and the cheeky monkeys. This set was among those that Santa very kindly brought me and although I want to use them with my stitched and stuffed animals I know just the person that this card would be most appropriate for. I must get busy and make it.
ReplyDeletePam - I hope you are warmer in the office today and that Dave had a good night.
Elaine - poor Helen, it must be such a strain for her, perhaps you should show her Sue's card to raise a smile. Extra warm hugs for you all.
Donita - that's a fair distance that you have travelled, hope all goes well.

Very nice sue. Laura O Springfield

Hi Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteA very cute fun card today. A favourite of many I’m sure.
Pam, sorry your heating situation has not been fixed. I hope you’re wrapped up warm. Glad little Dave is doing ok too. Hope things go well today at the vets. I will take one of your heated hugs from the basket if that’s ok, in fact could I be cheeky and take one for hubby too please? Thank you. X
Bejay, glad to see you commenting again. X
Elaine, I am so sorry to hear that Helen is struggling to cope at the moment. Hardly surprising is it? I hope being signed off helps give her her strength back. Just seen that Andrew has had to go to hospital. Sending hugs and support that he feels better soon, let’s hope the consultant has been able to change things. X
Love Helen xxx

Cute little swinging monkeys always bring a smile. Very charming card this morning.
ReplyDeleteElaine, I am hoping that Andrew is made more comfortable in the hospital and that his next treatment will be approved quickly. We go through similar frustrations with insurance companies here.
Pam, I finally have heat at my house and hope you get your back on at work. I hope Dave is on the mend with good news at the vets.
Donita, I assume the green bomb made it through O'Hara without a hitch.
I hope everyone has a creative and warmer Thursday,

ReplyDeleteA cheeky card today, love the monkeys.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI’m back to being late again! Been clearing Christmas away!! Not quite finished but getting there! I will do as today’s card says and Hang in There!!
It made me smile and would make anyone smile I think! I have the Cheeky Monkey Die Set as I thought it was very useful and versatile!
Elaine - sorry! I just hope you get some sleep tonight - all of you!
Maureen now has the dreaded lurgie and is feeling quite unwell.
PP - good to see you! Love to Laine . Lots of people do struggle at this time of year and in this weather! My Central Heating Boiler and I have had a falling out today!
Lots of love to all,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen,). Xxx
Good evening Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteToday’s card is very cute I do not have these dies as I thought there was not any little ones to use it for
May have to change my mind as I have quite a few cheeky friends lol
Pam will echo your comments as per usual. Thank you
Elaine I have just read your update about Andrew what can I say ! I am not surprised that Helen is struggling I hope you all can gather the strength to continue to support each other My thoughts and prayers are with you all xx
I send my usual good wishes and hugs 🤗 to you all
Take care folks

Sue this is totally gorgeous, i just love it and would cheer up anyones day.
ReplyDeleteIt has certainly cheered mine up.
Hi Sue. A gorgeous cheeky card today. Suitable for all ages.
ReplyDeleteElaine, thinking of you Andrew and Helen. Hope Andrew gets the help he needs now he's in hospital xx
A really cute card today Sue. It’s a shame but I don’t know anyone who would appreciate this card . That’s not saying I don’t like it. It’s more likely someone would send something like this to me. Pam I hope it soon gets warmer at work for you. Know how you feel as it is always cold at the ice rink. At least I don’t have to do any work there. Echoing your comments. Elaine so sorry to hear that Andrew is in hospital. Remembering you all in my prayers. Hugs for all who need them.

Such a cheerful, fun card. Brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteElaine, so sorry to hear that Andrew is in hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Take care everyone.
A cheeky little card Sue!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a great card, may be cute but the message is there. Love this die set. Bx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and all Wilsonettes.
ReplyDeleteI do like your 'Cheeky Monkey Sue, I bet you had a smile on your own face as you created him.
I don't have the die but I wonder if a card showing the 3 wise monkeys could be made from it,I rather think it could. Does anyone agree?
So very sorry that Andrew is back in hospital and I'm sure that the strain is affecting all of his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all.
On a brighter note, my Great-Granddaughter made her entry into the world yesterday (Jan. 4th.)
She weighed in at 7lbs.14ozs. and was a water-birth. My Daughter was allowed to cut the cord and was so thrilled at the whole experience. This is her first and probably only Grandchild.
I hope it's not too long before I get to see her.
Hugs to all.
