It's Pure Joy for A La Card Monkey Challenge #109

This elephant shows pure, unadulterated joy with water raining down on him in this photo. Show us how you can translate that to your own creation for our A La Card Monkey Challenge #109: Pure Joy + Sketch. It's basically three rectangles on a card front, with the sentiment above. You can add layers or ribbon or other embellishments. Have fun with it! Experience JOY!

Our joy:

We're going Girly for Monkey Challenge #108

Nothing says Girly like a vintage photo of a little girl standing on an alligator, right? Okay, this photo - found on Pinterest - cracked up Shirley and I, so I thought I'd use it for our A La Card Monkey Challenge #108: Girly + Sketch. Feel free to select a shape behind your main image that you have. We're looking for girly stuff like colors, lace, bling... whatever says "girly" to you. So have fun with it.

Here are what our girl brains came up with:

Something blue was a fun challenge this week. I don't use a lot of blue, so it was really good for me. (I did make a brown and blue card first then looked at the challenge again Yikes lol) We had some awesome cards this week, from baby buggies to blue ice cream I think they were all splendid!!! Thank you all for joining us!

We have a new challenge going up tonight, so be sure to check back for that one. Feel free to share our challenges with your friends. Our Guest Designers ROCK!!! So you'll have plenty of great inspiration to get your creative wheels turning. Have a wonderful Friday! Shirley and I are going shopping for vintage stuff, among other things.



It's Something Borrowed for Monkey Challenge #105

Have you been eyeing a friend's lovely paper or maybe a special stamp or accessory? Well, now's your turn to use it (if she'll let you!). At the very least, maybe she'll let you stamp an image from one of her coveted sets to let you create a card for our A La Card Monkey Challenge #105: Something Borrowed + Sketch. If you "borrow" an embellishment or paper, maybe you can make the card for the friend who gave you it! It's a thought.

Here are our borrowed ideas:
