I'm sorry I have been so sporadic on my blog posts. I always have good intentions but end up putting it off until it is too late. (or else, I decide I don't have anything interesting to say!!)
I made a "name frame" Thursday for Danny and Lisa's little boy (Alex) and started the name frame for Julia. They are the twins that were born right after Christmas to Ashley's best friends. I bought the frames in December and they have been sitting on my desk all this time waiting for inspiration! Finally fter coming home from the "Y", I decided there was no time like the present! Once I get to going on creating something, I usually get on a roll. It's just the "getting going" that gets me delayed usually!! Ashley had told me that they were doing the nursery in a monkey theme with green, yellow and brown. I have several monkey stamps so that made my job a little bit easier. I really like how the first one turned out. Remember - you can click on the picture to make it larger.
Sorry about the glare at the top - guess I should have taken the picture before putting the glass on. So, I used several monkey stamps. The animals at the bottom are from DRS and the monkey above the "A" is Stampendous. The other two stamped monkeys (parachute and holding bananas) are from Stampin' Up but they are retired. The DSP is also SU - the top is a retired piece but the bottom green stripe if Pear Pizzaz.
Hopefully, I'll finish Julia's frame soon and I can share it with you. I am trying to make hers just a little bit more feminine but staying with the theme.
