Monkey See

My youngest Grandchild is turning One on September 7th and I made this darling little monkey for her. Her Mommy always calls her 'Her Little Monkey' so I thought it would be very appropriate, lol.

Sure do love this Create a Critter cartridge

This Debbie Mumm paper was such a buy!  JoAnns was closing this line out and I got the Glitter (card stock set) for 80% off and the paper corresponding pack for $5.50 for 180 12x12 sheets.  Oh how I love a bargain!

hmmm I always think I've inked the edges enough until I see it on blogger and then it looks like I didn't ink them at all, guess I'll have to work on that.

Hoggy Birthday

Oh what fun is the Create a Critter! I just love Ms Piggy. Background paper is from the Sunshine Paper Pad by me & my Big Ideas. Little birthday hat is K & Co. The bottom sparkles are from the rub in set mentioned below. Hoggy Birthday printed on my computer, font Scrap Kids.

I used my Peachy Keen stamps for her face but didn't care for the way her snout turned out so I used the one the Cricut punched out and just kept trimming it until it fit, still didn't look right so I painted it with my Copics and added Glossy Accents over top.

Did this ribbon of candles on the bottom of the inside of the card, it's a rub on from Imaginisce call Cake Walk Rub ons.

Just FAB!

OK I couldn't stand it! I had to have that darling Create A Critter cartridge for my Cricut Expression! There are just so many darling little critters on it. This Raccoon is one of my favorites!

I used the EK Success border punch Swiss Cheese on the strip across the top. Glitter glue was added to the two hearts and the FAB was outline in white gel pen.

The embossed polka dots are done with a background dot stamp from Inkadinkado and clear embossing powder.
