Create A Critter Blog Hop - Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to Day 1 of the Create A Critter Blog Hop!


If you just happened upon my blog, and you want to start at the beginning, click here to start at Ashley's blog.
If you've come from Haidee's blog, then you're on the right path.
For my first project I made a Baby Shower card for a friend at work.  She is having a boy and chose a Monkey/Jungle theme.  As soon as I heard this, I knew that the monkey would be perfect.  This cute little monkey is one of my favorite critters from this cartridge! 


Here is a diaper cake that I made for the shower.

Supplies:
Monkey cut at 3 1/2 inches from the "Create A Critter" cartridge.  I hid the face cuts and used a PKS animal face stamp.

Papers are from DCWV

Tulle bow

For my blog candy, I am giving away a $15 Gift Certificate to Pink By Design Stamps.  To be eligible for my blog candy, you must be a follower and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite critter from the "Create A Critter" cartridge is.  I will be combining all the comments from both days, and chose a random comment to win.  You'll have until midnight (PST) on Sunday 5/20/2012 to enter.  It's that easy!

Be sure to hop to all the blogs and leave some blog love for a chance to win some great blog candy!
Yournext stop along the hop is Monica's blog. 
Thanks for stopping by!
