Hand Stamped By Lacey: Day two of High Hopes sneak peeks (& new challenge)

Day two of High Hopes sneak peeks (& new challenge)

Did you like all of the High Hopes peeks yesterday?

We are back again today with even MORE sneak peeks. But it's also time for a new challenge.

This is actually challenge #99!!! There will a fun surprise for our 100th challenge, but you will have to wait until January for that! This is the last challenge for the year so it will remain open through January 10th.

This week's challenge is: Party Animals - use an animal image.

So for this week's challenge and today's sneak peeks, I created a little boy baby shower ensemble using 3 of the adorable monkeys illustrated by Laurie Furnell...

For each project, I use some basics of Cardstock, stamps, pearls, and ribbon. On each background, I used the new "Sweet Baby Bottle" and "Sweet Baby Rattle" stamped in chocolate chip onto SU Bashful Blue CS.

To get ready for a baby shower, you need an invitation...

This adorable "Monkey Message Board" is a great way to make an announcement! The sentiment is an older one called It's a Shower. This is an A2 card measuring 5.5" x 4.25".

During the shower, each guest will need a little party favor...

I used "Mikey Monkey" to create this fun party favor bag. It measures 4.5" tall x 4" wide x 1.75" deep. I used this same design for my special Halloween treats here (which I just noticed that I never posted a few more that I made - will have to do that later)!

Once the baby arrives, you will need a card to welcome him to the world...

I used the new "Boy Binky Monkey" and "Little One Script". This card measures 5.25" x 5.25".
