Monster Bedtime

Happy Monday!
It has been a warm one in Seattle the past week or so and I think it's going to stay that way! I did go out and do a tiny bit of gardening over the weekend though and it was lovely and I'm super excited about my new hydrangea that I planted.
Enough with the weather though, let's get to the exciting part...today's card is for my friend Kelly's Monster/Alien swap and features this cutie Monster Bedtime stamp from Victoria Case Art. I can't get over how cute he is and how I just want to give him a big ole hug and tell him he's my friend. The card itself is kind psychedelic though, eh? I thought I'd do something fun and funky!

Hope you all have a great start to your week and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Will You Be My Friend?

Were you ever afraid of Monsters when you were little? Or afraid of the dark? I was afraid of the dark...probably still am a little bit too. LOL. I used to have this drum with Animal from the Muppets on it. It was his face on the front of the drum with that big ole crazy grin of his. Most of the time that drum would sit on the shelf in my closet and if the closet door was open when my mom tucked me in and turned of the lights, there he would be taunting me. There was no way I could sleep with the closet door open! My mom said that when I would play that drum I would beat it so hard; she always thought it was because I was so afraid of Animal! LOL! But I think Animal was actually my favorite Muppet. He wasn't afraid to be himself, even if others thought he was all crazy-like.

Well, this Big Guy is adorable to me. He looks so sweet and friendly, like he just wants a friend. It makes me think of Monster's Inc...he just wants someone to call him "kitty." I had a lot of fun with this and I even got to use my fun flock for the first time! I showed the card to DH last night and he said he liked it but wondered "what's up with the flowers?" I told him I was trying to be ironic. I hope this card makes you fall in love with Monsters...they're not so scary afterall.
