Here is a little card I made for a little boy's baptism. I had a hard time thinking of anything so I look at some challenges for inspiration. {listed below}

I am also shocked to say that this card had NO embellishments. It really didn't need any.

Cute little baby Monkey card.

This Cute little Monkey card is inspired by "DEX" from the Movie: The Night at the Museum.

I used a few Challenges to create this card.

The Cinema Saturday Challenge #62 is to use a miniature on a card inspired by the movie,The Night at the Museum. I used a miniature key and a quote between Larry and Dex.

 I selected the colors from {: Embellish Magazine :} striped Purple Brown and Kraft  Challenge. I created some stripes on my card by layering Razzle-berry purple and Chocolate Chip brown ribbons.

 I used this elegant Sketch from 2Sketch4You #44

 

Then I used  Pile it on with the , Tie it Around Challenge to use 3 ribbons.  I used stitched Chocolate chip brown grosgrain, Razzle-berry purple grosgrain ribbon and Chocolate chip brown Satin ribbon.

Happy Krafting!

I love scrap-booking! It is truly my favorite thing to do.

I found this great site called: Unscripted Sketches.

It was mentioned on Momiji's blog {Hollie}.

When I saw Hollie's sample, I could not resist.

Take a look, this is Sketch #25:

The Sketches are so perfect.

Well, I dug right in and scrapped 3 pages inspired by this sketch.

Only 2 ended up looking like the sketch so here they are.

It was so much fun! I had a great time making these pages.

What do you think ?

This card is one of the card I made for the YouNextStamp site. I had fun working with this lil' guy. Here is how I got those tiny clothes hug out to dry:

1st I stamped the image on the card in just the right spot.

Then! i stamped them on white paper. I dod this do the true color would show when I colored them.

He is a happy clean boy, isn't he!
