Fantabulous Cricut's challenge this week is for Labor Day! I hope you are having a good one....and since you have a day off from labor, why don't you go work on a scrappin' project? My little monkey (not sure why I'm making so many monkeys lately.....) is a freebie from Dustin Pike. I colored him with Prisma and Gamsol....enhanced with some black Sharpie marker. Added him to some scrap paper (the bananas are Daisy D...and the presence of them in my scrap pile might explain the monkey phenomenom......) Added bananas from Animal Kingdom and some buttons. This card is for my husband, who is a "code monkey" himself.
Jitterbuggin' Challenge is Born to Be Wild this week, using some wild Cricut animals. The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week is HOT (tropical, etc) so I thought a monkey would work for both. I used scrap paper from Daisy D's with bananas....scrap stripes from a John Deere collection...some great variegated fiber, brown ribbon, nesties, cuttlebug embossing, and the sweet little monkey from Sweethearts. Sentiment is computer generated. Ironically, my sketch was almost the same as Papertake Weekly's so I'm going to enter this one there too. And I found a new challenge site called Paper Playtime whose theme is Zoo this week as well.
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.
