A Monkey For Jacob

Happy Monday to all my stamping friends! 

All the kids were home this past weekend we certainly had a grand time visiting.  As most of you know our oldest son is expecting their first child and they just found out the sex…….MALE!  It’s a boy for sure!  His name will be Jacob William and we’ll call him Jake.  His nursery will be done in a monkey theme, they even went shopping and bought the cutest monkey outfits – just adorable!  So after they all went home I had to ‘monkey’ around – this is the result . . .

As I was making him I kept thinking –

• one punch
• one DSP
• one sentiment

Then it hit me … that’s the same recipe for this weeks PPA Challenge at the Pals Paper Arts – Dress for success.  Well you know what came next.  I had to enter. *smile*  There’s still time to enter, you have until Noon on August 16th to upload your card.

Here’s looking a little closer -

Two circle punches and a couple eyelets made the bib.  The monkey was another story. Here’s his recipe:

Head – two circle punches, one circle was trimmed out with a heart punch to give him that little indentation at his forehead.

Eyes – Owl Punch
Ears –  circle punches
Mouth – small oval
Body – Owl Punch and the 15/16” oval punch
Tail – A trimmed out piece from the Swirls and Scribbles die
Arms and Legs – Oval punch
Bananas – Circle punch

Each piece of Creamy Carmel card stock was sponged with Early Espresso Ink.

I decided not to touch the hands and feet…..I thought he looked better without them.

The inside -

                      

And that’s my little bit of ‘monkeying around’.  I hope you liked it – even better I hope Jacob will like it. lol

Supplies needed – All are SU! unless otherwise noted

• Card stock – E. Espresso, C. Carmel, W. White, B. Black and A. Appeal and Bo Bunny DSP
• Letters for BABY were heat embossed with gold emp

Here’s a sneak peek at tomorrow’s card…..
