Monkeying Around with DtsArt Files!

Good morning and thanks for visiting today!
This week I'm going a little lite on posting!
I had an accident with a craft knife and won't be able to make any new projects for a few days.
Luckily, I finished this project for the DtsArt Creative Team super early!
Make sure you hop on over to Dardi's blog by clicking HERE and be sure to grab your FREE file for Take Out Tuesday!
For this week's project we are highlighting this ADORABLE monkey file! When you purchase this file you will get both the boy and the girl monkey and they are just too cute so be sure to drop by www.diecutdesigner.com to grab this wonderful set!

This little monkey needed a place to monkey around, so I gave him his own beach, complete with a palm tree and sun that I made.The sand bucket and "Beach Fun" sentiment are rub-ons.The sand is tan construction paper, ripped, layered then glittered for that tropical shimmer.The background is done using a scalloped circle stencil with blue ink.

School's out in 3 weeks and we're getting ready for summer and the beach!

Here's the rest of the DtsArt Creative Team 

so you can check out their monkey projects 

and give them a little love:

We have been very good about posting hints about the May Monthly Challenge at the Latte Lounge, I think!

We have told you several times that there might be a few twists along the way!

Well, here’s the first one!

Remember last week, we posted our Monthly Challenge

hosted by The Stamping Boutique

 

and the theme was to

make any project for Moms and other Special Women in our Lives?

Well, this week, we’re STILL doing

projects for Mom’s and other Special Women in our Lives!

And we’re STILL being sponsored by The Stamping Boutique!

And you can STILL enter your projects HERE!

BUT!!!

This week, we want to see you ADD FLOWERS

to your Project for Moms and Other Special Women!!

Yep, same challenge, but different!

AND!!!

Not only will you be entered to win the prize from the Stamping Boutique,

but we’re adding to the loot!!

We are adding 2 new prizes to the drawing!!

A $5 Gift Certificate from Digi’s with Attitude!

 

and

3 images from the one and only Glitterbabe!!

At the end of the month, we will have THREE random drawings

for chances to win prizes from THREE different sponsors!

So keep those monthly challenge projects coming!

Enter as many times as you can!

The more times you enter, the better your chances to WIN!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Thanks guys!!

I love you so much

and am so very proud

to be your Mom!

Have a beautiful day!!

Stamping Boutique Blog Hop

We're doing something a little different this time!
Because the Stamping Boutique Design Team is such a large group, we have divided the team into two groups for this Hop. Feel free to hop through both groups to increase your chances of winning TSB Goodies!


You should have started at The Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog. If you just happened to pop in today, you'll want to make a quick stop over there to check out the details of the Hop this weekend!


We were all given the "Maypole" image to work with and you should see some the terrific projects created by my TSB Teamies! 

Your next stop in the Hop 

is the uber-talented Christy at Inklings and Yarns! 

I'm sure you're in for a real treat!

And guess what!! This Tuesday, you can grab the image in this hop for only $1.00!! For the first time ever, The Stamping Boutique is having a Dollar Days sale and Tracey has decided to offer ALL of the images in the "What's New" Section for ONLY ONE DOLLAR each... so make sure you RUN to the TSB Store on Tuesday and grab all the images you can at this great price!

For my card, I chose to use the Sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp (which TSB is sponsoring this week)!
I used printable digi papers from JLJ Designs' Cynthia Set which is exclusively available at the Stamping Boutique Store!

Jen is having a challenge over at the Latte Lounge and the only requirement is to use ANY JLJ Designs product!!


She has a brand new store at Artfire and it's chuck full of goodies!
I have almost every paper in her collection and use them all the time!


And if you love new and different papers but don't have the means to buy entire packs, you should join us at the May Swap Club at the Latte Lounge! This month, we're swapping 6" x 6" papers!! Everyone who signs up sends enough papers for each member of the group, then in return, we each receive one paper from each member in our packet! What a great way to try a new variety!


Last month, we swapped ribbons and I used a piece of my brand new ribbon in today's project! What a really neat ribbon it is, too... it's elastic and iridescent... so pretty and shimmery and just perfect for the Maypole!


And, last but not least: my sentiment! My friend Sara sent me a whole pack of Ippity images and sentiments to play with and the challenge at Get Hippity with Ippity is Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers! Well! let's see... umm... flowers? check! Got it covered with  my rolled roses and the flowers at the top of the Maypole! The sentiment "thinking of you" is from the "Just Wanted to Say" Ippity Set! I'm IN like Flynn! (-:


I thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you'll have time to take advantage of the TSB Dollar Days Sale on Tuesday! There are over 75 images in that section of the store and at $1 each, you really should head over and start your shopping list today!
