Monkeys, Monkeys Everywhere!

Joined a Splitcoast Monkey and Bear swap before I realized I didn't have any monkeys.  So, I had to do a little shopping - after purchasing a monkey punch, a monkey stamp set and a monkey image from Cricut, I was good to go. 

This was my first shot at "card candy", which is a collection of several coordinated stamped images and embellishments that can be used on cards, tags, gifts, etc.  I used my new stamp set from InkyAntics and some monkey-colored Copic markers.  Love how they turned out.




The second item I'm swapping is a Monkey Tag.  For this tag, I used my new monkey punch from McGill and a free downloaded palm tree image from Cricut Craft Room.  I like using patterned paper for my die cuts to add a little somethin' extra.



I think my favorite is the Monkey Spinner Card I made.  The monkey is a Cricut image from the Paisley cart.  Had to show you the spin.  What do you think?
