Two Little Monkeys Hangin Around

Wow! After that (albeit inspiring) card class last week I am ready to get back to my normal page challenges. Though if you followed my posts last week and "learned" along with me you'll probably notice some of those techniques hanging around in the next couple of posts!

So without further delay I bring you Two Little Monkeys.


The title is very important because over at Scrapbooksteals the Monday Craft Madness challenge was to use the theme "Tea for Two" which could be interpreted literally as something regarding tea/picnics or with "two" in the sentiment/title as I have done.

The layout is based on a two page sketch by Gail Owens for Kiwi Lane's DT Doodles. I used Tags 6, Aspen Court 2A/2B mini, and Clara Lane 3B.



I'm also entering this in the S.W.A.T. Drill #4  which was based on this color scheme which I completed with the help of Echo Park's For the Record, Ranger Distress Fired Brick Ink, and a bunch of fussy cutting, foam dots, October Afternoon Black Keys and Mini Market alphas, AC Thickers, Ranger black Enamel Accents, and some Studio G glitter glue. I sort of skipped adding the cream as a paper since it was almost the same color as my boys' skin!

    1. Naptime comes but once a day and it'd been a couple of weeks since I'd done a Doodle so I wanted to make sure it got done this week. Thanks for having such a fun sketch.

  2. You are as prolific as you are talented! I super like the patterned paper parings in your Two Monkey layout. It works wonderfully. My girlfriend jokes that her children (who are very lightskinned) will need to marry people with much darker skin or her grandchildren are going to be nearly invisible. She, too, wouldn't have to specify "cream" cardstock on any layout involving any of her 6 children!

  3. I know the L/O is supposed to be about the product used, but I just LOVE the contrast of the flowers with all the lines of the climbing bars!!! Go figure! :) Thanks for linking up with SWAT
