Mixed Media - Monkey Man

If you been following, and I hope you have,

I posted yesterday all my homemade embellishments here

and I have made a page using one of the monkeys.

The monkeys are big and adorable and I love the googly eyes.

 In the background, I used smoke grey ink on

the Tim Holtz stencil "coffee stains"

with some red raspberry ink since the page
turned out to be almost monochromatic - but I wanted
to use red because of the heart in the quote
and it needs the red ink to tie it all together..

I tossed some buttons "galore" around

which have those itty bitty little fun pieces are well as sequins.

I was inspired by these two itty bitty photos

of Shane at 3 months that was rattling around in my
embellishment bin.

I've scrapped this photo before because it's really

a cute story about my baby having so much fun getting

his photo taken in Walmarts and laughing so loud 

everyone in the store came to see the fun he was having.

However, his nickname was monkeyman because he used

to curl his toes like monkeys do. LOL.
