I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Challenge #19: Birthday (masculine)

It's time for another challenge at ScrapbookerPhD, and I'm very excited to share my project with you. The theme is birthday for a boy. I decided to make a card for my youngest nephew who turns 3 in just a few short months. (Better to be early than later, right!).

 I started with the Cricut cartridge B is for Boy, and I cut this super cute monkey. I used two coordinating patterned papers from The Paper Studio. The green pattern is small outlines of the animals on the rest of the pattern. The Monkey See, Monkey Do stamp is from Cardz TV, More Critter Captions, and the Happy Birthday stamp is from CTMH Just to Say set. 

Here is a close up of the green pattern:
