The theme of Teapot Tuesday this week is "monkey around." If we're going to monkey around, can we do it at the beach? (yes, another Southerner who is so ready to see winter get out of our hair.)
This is my first shaker card, so I know it's not perfect, but there was something about this monkey that just wanted to be a shaker card. (The shaker has a couple of tiny starfish along with gold microbeads to be the sand).
Monkey is colored with pencils.

I'd like to be on that beach with the sand playing monkey! I see he already has his castle built. What a cute shaker card with the starfish inside. Fun card!

Oh my goodness you made a shaker card with a monkey. This is fantastic! I have yet to make a shaker card but yours is fantastic! Thank you for playing today to honor Grandpa Holmes and the teapot he bought for his daughter.

Oh, he's so cute! I started to make mine into a shaker, too. I think this is a great first - and it definitely gets easier! Great card!

Sandy, this is just so sweet! I love the starfish that you've added into the shaker, and the gold microbeads make for great sand. I hope Spring reaches you soon and you have some real beautiful days!!
