Here's a sneak peak at July's Stamp of the Month set, "Life's a Jungle." It's a cute set with monkeys, a hippo, lion, alligator, bird, and several coordinating sentiments.
The "bird" is a toucan, isn't it? I'm about as good at identifying birds as I am flowers. With thoughts that it is a toucan, I pulled up some Google Images to help me choose my marker colors. Google Images is a great source for photographs and images of just about everything under the sun. The card design explains itself. I added the white circles behind the Brads Brads to keep them from getting lost in the "jungle" background.
Materials & Tools: White Daisy and Topiary cardstock; Black and Topiary ink pads; Citrus Leaf, Holiday Red, Sunny Yellow, and Grey Wool markers; Life's a Jungle July SOTM and Nature Walk stamp sets; My Legacy Writer; Circle punch; Sunflower, Clover Meadow, and Holiday Red Bigger Brads.
I have a big weekend planned with a "to do" list that is longer than my leg. Although stamping is not on the list, we all know I have little self control, so I can imagine that there will be some. After all, girl has to do something to stay sane. For now, I'm going to go chip away on the list a little so that when I stamp, I won't feel guilty . . . Later!

Very cute! Yes, it's a Toucan and the colors you've chosen are brilliant! Looks great! TFS.
Looks great! Love the leaves in the background too and the brads.
You're so funny and oh so creative!
:o)
Cute toucan. UPS delivered as we were leaving on Wednesday, so all I grabbed was one of the new cattys. I haven't yet looked at the SOTMs, but I hope to play today!
