Jitterbuggin Sketch 3 - Just Monkeyin' Around

It's Thursday, and that's reveal day at Jitterbuggin' Challenge.  There is a sketch to follow, and you are to use a Cricut monkey and 3 different patterned papers.   I chose the monkey from Create a Critter (because I've never made him).....papers from the scrap drawer (I love using stuff up...and it still looks different from other cards I've made).....a guitar from Everyday Paper Dolls (trimmed with baby stars from an MS punch and floss)......vines from ZooBalloo...
Nesties for the frame.....swirls embossing folder...
and Thicker letters. 

Bunnies in a Row

After days (weeks, months) of snow, I had to make something "springy".  Used a sketch from RAQ's challenge (Cricut messageboard) and paper from DCWV's ultimate stack.  Used a little bunny from Stretch Your Imagination, added details with pink ink and a sharpie....glazed them in glitter.  Cut the squares from AC scraps with my Nesties, added some tulip and daisy cuts from Walk in My Garden.  Punched the yellow border with my new Stampin' Up border punch...added ribbon and an oval (Nesties) with hand written sentiment.  It didn't turn out like I imagined, but it's okay.   At least it looks like spring.

Froggy Be Mine

My wonderful hubby took me to Michael's and Hobby Lobby this week-end....left me alone....and didn't care what I bought!   I had fun!  Found a great Valentine's paper stack and couldn't wait to use the frog.   None of the Cricut frogs were quite right, so I made up one with George ovals and circles. 

The recipe is:  3 2'  green ovals,

cut one in half for  the feet

1 1" white circle (for the belly)

2 3/4 inch green circles (eyes)

6 1/2" ovals in black, white, and green

cut green in half for the feet

2 1/4" pink circle for the cheeks

Framed him out with Nesties.....embossed with Swiss Dots.  Added ribbon and a little metallic heart, embellished with writing and tiny heart shaped rain dots.

     

Go Hog Wild!

Birthday card for the pig lover in our family!!  Used a Sizzix original die for the pig....in MS polka dot paper.  Used pop dots between all the layers and lots of ink.  The paper is Pink Paislee (I cut 3 new sheets....shame on me.....already broke that New Year's resolution to use scraps!).  Attached some rick rack....buttons.....frame is cut with square Nesties.  Sentiment is computer generated.
