Male Birthday Card Using Deedee's Digis Monkey Business

Hello friends.  It has been cooler here the past few days; but heating up again.  LOL!  I hope all of you are surviving the rains across the US; because there have been a lot of storms and flooding.  What a mess.  Send some of that rain to CA; especially in the South!  LOL!

I won a challenge recently with a prize of Deedee's Digis and fell in love with them.  She is also one of the many sponsors for my Blog celebration where there will be a lot of wonderful prizes.  Drop by her shop and select some of her fabulous images to try for yourself.  I love that she has colored ones as well as black and white too in the same digi set.  This gives you options; especially when you don't want to or don't have time to color an image.   

Be sure to click on this link to join my blog celebration.  Your name goes first with a 1 behind it if you are overseas, not in US.  Blog link is next.  If you don't have a blog; be sure to leave a comment or email me and I will add you to the list.  There will be at least 15 or more prizes; so changes are in your favor.

I chose Deedee's Digis Monkey Business for my son Aaron's birthday card.  I just love this set.  I also used the Happy Birthday sentiment from Deedee's Digis Cup of Joy digi set. I merged two of PNG sentiments into one; for the inside sentiment.  I also took advantage of two of her digi papers to create this card.  One was used on the outside and one on the inside. I hope you enjoy my creation.

I am entering this card in the Path of Positivity Challenge - Sharing; which is one of my favorite challenges.  Lisa has all positive/motivational type challenges and is such a blessing to all of us.  Be sure to check out the challenges and read all the wonderful inspiration and free sentiments she shares on her blog.  I picture these little monkeys playing together and sharing their cupcake and bananas.  LOL!  I believe sharing can be done in a lot of ways; and not just in the physical form.  We share our love for others, our faith, trust, encouragement, prayers, our creations on our blogs and in so many other ways.  Life would be pretty boring if we didn't share with others.  It is a very important part of living.  As Lisa's sentiment states; The More We Share, The More We Have.  Take time to share something with someone today and be a blessing to others.
