Monkey Business

Here is a little monkey card for a friend who is going through some pretty rough cancer treatments. She inspires me every day to live my best life and treat others with kindness - as she always does! Even with cancer zapping her strength, she is able to muster the energy to make beautiful quilts, kitchen towels and handmade cards for her church auctions.

YOU ROCK, SUZANNE!

For this project, I was inspired by Debbie Mum's Value Pack of animal prints AND Faith's March 2, 2009 tutorial for crimped envelopes. You can find her terrific tutorial here.
