Monkey Bundle Of Joy

Hey Hey Hey! It's New Release Tuesday at Bugaboo Stamps! If you're like me, you love new release days, because there's always some great new images to check out and shop for! I'm here to show you just one of those adorable new releases, today.  The design team has more new release creations to show you, too, at Catch The Bug, so don;t miss out on those!

Remember, you can find this  new images, and lots more, at the Bugaboo Stamps Store, so run over and start shopping! What are you waiting for?! Hurry! Shop now!

I have a cute new baby card to show you, using this new release Monkey image, from Bugaboo Stamps. Isn't this just the cutest little monkey girl, sitting on that big banana?! The image is colored with Promarkers. I used a fun sketch that just seemed to fall out of my head onto the paper. I went with a monochromatic theme, but, of course, had to make the banana yellow.  After all, who's ever heard of a pink banana?! I used my new pink gemstones to embellish two corners of the image and three corners on the white patterned paper panel. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 you and is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches. All papers are from my stash.

What A Big Girl! You're Going To School!

I hope you're ready for some new releases, today, and ready to do some shopping, because it's new release day at Bugaboo Stamps! If you're like me and are crazy about sock monkeys, then you're going to love this one!  (Okay, I admit it - I have one that I sleep with under my arm! LOL) Head over to the Bugaboo Stamps store and check out all the new goodies!

You can get more creative inspiration, too, using this weeks new releases, by scooting yourself on over to Catch The Bug! The DT has fabulous eye candy to show you!

For my project, of course, I've used today's new release, Sock Monkey School, from Bugaboo Stamps. I used this fun mix of school themed papers by Recollections.  The pink glitter ribbon is from my stash.  I used a white opaque pen by Inksentials, to add faux stitching to the card.  The bottom right panel is embellished with two pink pearls from my stash.  The sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.  I've used a mix of flowers from my stash, that are from Prima and Meslyn Crafts. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch Saturday.


I used this photo, from Just Inspirational challenges, for my color inspiration:
