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! 🙂

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I’m on the Festive Friday design Team and this week’s challenge #FF0137 is World Conservation Day which is July 28th.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about World Conservation Day– at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start.

I planted this perennial clematis last year in the ground near my back deck. Unlike many climbing plants, clematis don’t grow any aerial roots to attach onto surfaces, nor do they grow any tendrils, so you have to help them out by providing an appropriate trellis or structure to climb on. I told Steve we need to put fishing line across between our deck posts to give it something to climb on. I love the bright pink color. I think next Spring I’ll plant a different color clematis at the other end of the deck and they can meet in the middle. It would be neat to have a clematis grow over an archway. What is your favorite flower to grow? The steps in this picture lead down to my herb garden. I’ll show you that on another day.
