IC153 ~ Monkey Business ~
November 8th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Once again, I was up at 4am with the itch to stamp. I loved the Boden USA inspiration, but thought I would dig a little deeper into their website and found this little guy as inspiration….
Isn’t he the most adorable little guy?! He reminded me of the cute little monkeys in my Autumn Leaves Mindy’s Zoo set, so I went to work and made my card. I was having so much fun, I let my coffee get cold… twice! LOL
Deets on this card:
Stamps: Autumn Leaves Mindy’s Zoo (Monkey and bird); Sentiment by MFT
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, GP White, Cool Caribbean
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics, black sharpie

Oh but wait! There’s more! 🙂
I was playing around with my There She Goes’ Tea For Two set last evening and made this teabag card for my therapist. It was soooooo easy to make. I cut out the tea bag holder and used my red copic marker to create the stripes (with a ruler), then I made the tag and topper for the tea bag using the same idea. I thought that the snowflake EF would be perfect as sipping tea by the fire in winter is one of my favorite things to do 🙂
Here are the deets on this one:
Stamps: There She Goes’ Tea For Two
Colors: GP White, Real Red
Ink: Versafine Cranberry Red, Copics, white gel pen
Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, scalloped circle punches, designer label punch, circle punch, word window punch, snowflake EF, ticket corner punch.
TFL and have a blessed day!
These are both so adorable!!! Love that tea bag holder…..can you make one to hold cocoa? LOL!!! Just a thought!!!
Glad the itch is back, Holly 🙂 You are back on a roll and I so enjoy seeing what your wonderfully creative mind comes up with — even if that means your coffee gets cold LOL!! Love the tea bag card – what a wonderful idea and the little monkey card is great too. Have a great day and please give your aunt Marci a hug for me. Broke my heart to hear she has to go through the CA treatments again….glad you can be there for her.
Both are fantastic Holly!! That monkey is just too sweet. The second is so creative and beautiful!! Awesome!!
