Sweet Little Monkeys

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is CASE the Catalog. CASE means copy and share everything. You can look at a card and change different elements to make it your own. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Stampin’ Up! catalog is an Idea Book and it was fun trying to decide which card to CASE. I chose the elephant card at the top of page 57 shown below. I changed the colors to Copper Clay, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green. Instead of circles, I used the Nested Essentials rounded rectangles. I also used the Little Monkey set instead of Little Dreamers.

Instead of throwing away the Nested Essentials shapes, I used them to make the card below.

My Dad and his siblings had a family reunion last weekend. My Dad is on the far right, his brother, Richard, is eight years younger and his sister, Irene, is twelve years younger. All their kids and grandkids were invited. We had a wonderful lunch and played games. Some of the kids did Paddle Boats on the lake.

From my family it was Steve and I, Ryan and Bree. It’s kind of funny we had our picture taken in front of a Buffalo since Steve grew up in a little town called Buffalo along the Mississippi River.

After the reunion my sister and her family joined us for dinner and a fire pit. We stayed out there talking and laughing for several hours. I’m sorry to my neighbors if we kept you up. The next morning Steve made everyone bacon and eggs. What a fun weekend! 🙂

Bree and Ryan had a fun 4th of July cookout at their home. Here’s a picture of Bree (in the blue dress) with her friend, Lane.

This is Bree’s Dad, Keith ( a super good pickleball player) grilling hot dogs and hamburgers. It was a fun evening! Unfortunately, I stopped taking pictures after I took those two. Bree and Ryan just had their unfinished basement remodeled. It was fun to see how amazing it looks. My Mom made her world famous chocolate chip cookies with nuts for the party. I heard Ryan telling his friends that the “Grandma Cookies” were on the table. I made Scotcheroos and Steve cut up fresh fruit. He is so good at picking fruit that is ripe and tastes amazing. My parents, Bree’s parents and Steve and I all enjoyed the preparty festivities.
