Monkey Business... Behind the Alley Sneak Peek - Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the Behind the Alley Sneak Peeks.  This guy just reminds me of a used car salesman, and of course selling coconuts is the perfect business for a monkey to be in LOL!  This card was created using the FAB new The Alley Way Stamps Tropic Topic and Alphabet Soup, with this gorgeous over-sized tie from Tie One On, with papers from Authentique, and inspired by this great Deconstructed Sketch.

Play Hard, Have Fun...

Had fun creating this little robot for this weeks Cards for Men Challenge Boys and Their Toys.  Stamped the various body part images onto Fancy Pants Rough & Tough papers using Stampendous Spot's Botz.  Based the card layout on this great sketch from Deconstructing Jen - just rotated the sketch clockwise to fit the robot image.

Hope you have a great weekend playing hard and having fun! :)

Constructing cards...

Some cards origins are more obvious than others!  Believe it or not, this card was inspired by this weeks sketch at Deconstructing Jen - the sketch was rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and in the process the stars became embossed in the blue background.  Anyway, I LOVE this colour combo by CR84FN and couldn't resist playing along.  Sentiment was stamped and embossed with seafoam white - a favourite as it really pops on strong colour backgrounds.

Holiday Happiness...

One of the best things about being on holidays is that I get to play... with my family and with my stash LOL!

I couldn't resist these gorgeous colours from The Paper Players - brilliant for Christmas, and for Valentines Day!  Combined with this weeks sketch from Deconstructing Jen - couldn't resist turning those scallops into hearts :) I used Couture Creations Key to my Heart embossing folder for the main heart, and Heidi Swapp All my love sentiment with Pipe Dream Ink embossing powder in Banksia.

Hope you have time to play too :)
