Shenanigans

 Hello,

I've had these monkey stamps for years.  They remain some of my favorite because they are simple, sweet and most importantly fun.  They just make me smile every time.  I used all three monkeys int he set to make 3 different St. Patrick's day cards.  I hope to share them over the next few weeks with you.   Here is the first.  

I love this fold.  It is easy and playful.  I was also able to use up some pattern paper that I had in my stash! WhooHoo! The paper wasn't meant to be used for St. Patty's day, but it worked out perfectly.

Donut you know?

Hello all, 
I think I've hit a new record!   I think I went a full 2 months without posting on the blog.  Gosh, I didn't mean to do that.  If we have chatted in person, you probably know I've just had a lot on my plate.  You all know how that goes and unfortunately this is something that very easily can sit and just chill.   

I'm glad to say that I think I've regrouped a little.  I'm hoping to play a little catch up.  My goal to be more balanced.  Unfortunately, life with little kids  (and a traveling husband) is rough and you just got to roll with it.    

That is why I picked this guy to pop back on the blog today.  He looks like he has some life lessons to teach.  He is rolling with it.  I didn't really get to make any traditional Valentine's this year, but this guy came through in jam.   I've had this stamp for a while but this is the first time I've colored him up.  It was so delicious... I might have to run out and get some donuts.  
I hope you enjoy...   talk soon I'll try not to be another 2 months! 
Hugs to you all
Chris
