Just Monkeying Around......

I rarely buy presents anymore for wedding's or baby showers.  I give what I love to do most.  Create a unique and personalized gift for the special occasion. 




I made this 12x12  monkey shadow box for my friend who's having a baby boy.  Can you guess she's having a monkey theme nursery?

Here's how I made it:

Life's a Party- Monkey and layers cut at 9 inches
Birthday Cakes- Font cut and layers cut a 1 inches
Dot embossing folder
Black Stickles
Glue Dots & Pop Up Glue Dots



Thanks for looking and Oh...BTW- you can always invite me to your wedding or baby shower and I'd love to make you something unique too....LOL
