Monkeyin' Around

Hello friends, today I made my card for the Love's To Crop challenge and Amy's challenge this week is a color challenge ORANGE-PINK-OTHER COLOR. I also joined in my first challenge with Paper Playtime, challenge #68 "Say It With Sentiments Challenge using Pet Images! Now, my beagle Maddie is my fur baby but she can definitely be my little monkey sometimes too! And since the ladies over at Cooking With Cricut looked like they were having so much fun monkeyin around, I chose a monkey for my "pet" hehe! 

I went bananas when I found this super fun sentiment from my Unity Stamps collection!

And I just had to make my monkey wiggle it just a little bit, with another wiggle wire attachment--now this lil guy can shake his "monkey" maker! lol I'm proud to say that my flowers are all veryyy old SU! die cuts and paper primas and some equally ancient epoxy stickers, trimmed them to make tiny flowers in the centers, and made the white flower from a 1" circle scrap. I love using old supplies cus I don't have to be so careful and scared to use them--I'm stingy with my "good stuff" sometimes and crafting seems so much more enjoyable when you don't have to worry about a thing, just free yourself and CREATE! Love it. 

Thanks so much for hangin out! Happy Mardi Gras!!! Homemade Jambalaya for dinner tonight yummm!

Hey ladies-- I want to thank you all for your comments on my last post--you are so amazing and I am blessed beyond measure to know you!!!

This is my card for the color challenge this week over at SCS. It was lots of fun making this card! My bunny (from Just So Hoppy) is just so chic with her fancy purse and hair flower! She's off to meet Paris for lunch, then hop into her limo and off for a busy day of shopping...couture only, of course! LOL! I cuttlbugged the white card base with "stylized flowers" embossing folder, then made a multi-layered frame to pose bunny on. The black grosgrain ribbon was knotted and I stapled a scrap of sheer white dotted ribbon to the side for some added interest. The bit of color I used are the 3 circles punched in river rock cardstock (by SU!) to back up the white glitter dots (from Gina K), the rest is black and white. Thanks so much for visiting today, my fabulous blogging sisters! ~hugs and happy stamping~
