… with a few sketch challenges and a new set of stamps I won in a random drawing on the
Card Positioning Systems blog a few weeks back. I had my choice of any set from sponsor Inky Antic’s clear stamp line. And while it was a tough choice with so many cute stamp designs, I kept going back to “Monkeys Hanging Around” and finally decided that was the set for me. Winning was fun, particularly when I didn’t even realize there was a drawing. Surprise!
Fittingly, the top card was made with this week’s CPS Sketch #140 on the CPS blog.
This second card is my take on this week’s A Sketch for You to Try on the i{heart}2stamp blog. I 
colored all of the images with Prismacolor pencils and OMS and used papers from the Animal Cookies paper packet. It probably goes without saying these are cards for kids!
Materials & Tools: White Daisy, Tulip, and Dutch Blue cardstock; Animal Cookies paper packet; Black, Tulip, and Dutch Blue ink pads; Inky Antics Monkeys Hanging Around and Close To My Heart Happy Birthday stamp sets; Tulip mini brads; Prismacolor colored pencils; Gamsol odorless mineral spirits; Blending stumps; Corner rounder; 1 and 1-1/4 inch circle punches; Black My Legacy Writer; Stampin’ Up Photo Corner punch; Cuttlebug w/Nestabilities Classic Circles set; 3M foam mounting tape.
How’s that for a lot of monkey business? LOL. How has your day been? So far, mine has been great. And if my evening is as productive as the workday was, I’ll go to bed a happy, albeit tired, camper. Thanks for your comments on my last post. I’m glad some of you found my one-word answers to the questionnaire to be amusing. As for the place I go over and over, I think it’s an old-lady thing that I don’t always find so darned funny. Might as well laugh about it though. Anyhoo, enjoy the evening! Later …
