Sock Monkey

This image was colored by my niece, Miranda's friend, Marissa, while we were camping on Memorial Day weekend.  My BFF Heather, her daughter and I were all coloring one afternoon and they wanted to color too.  So I promised that I would turn their images into cards!

I made the background using Papertrey Ink's Background Basics: Botanicals!  I ordered more sets to use for backgrounds and they were waiting for me when I got home last Monday!  I though this was a great chance to use them with this image.
