Jitter Monkey

The story goes like this...
When my dad was a teenager there was a comic strip in the newspaper about a monkey named Jitter.  His buddies all thought that my dad resembled this Jitter Monkey (nice friends, right!) and therefore started calling him Jitter.  It stuck!

My dad loved to draw this monkey every so often and tell his story, because who else do you know with a nickname of Jitter?

After playing with the UNDEFINED Stamp Kit at Leadership I knew I was going to make up a stamp with my dad's Jitter Monkey on it.  I wanted to save a piece of something that is very dear to us.

Not sure what I will do with this stamp but I most certainly will treasure it FOREVER!  I made up a card that I can give to him on his next birthday.  I used a color and layout design by Linda Heller.

YOU can do this too, and make a one-of-a-kind stamp.  UNDEFINED only costs $19.95 for the Carving Kit (#133402) which comes with 2 carving tools, 3"x4" rubber, 3"x4" foam, 4 wood blocks (various sizes), 1 Island Indigo Marker, 3 Postcards, Instruction Sheet, Stamp image templates

The REFILL KIT (#134808) only costs $9.95 and includes 3"x4" rubber, 3"x4" foam, 4 wood blocks (various sizes) and an instruction sheet.

If you want to make your one-of-a-kind-stamp into a clear mount stamp you can purchase the CLEAR MOUNT CLING FOAM for only $10.95 (#124236).  this comes with 2 pages of Cling Foam.  I love this stuff because I can take my Stampin' Wheels and turn them into a clear mount stamp.  No more crooked lines for me!!

Just think you can make one of your child's drawing creations into a personal stamp that you can keep FOREVER!!

Waiting for Baby Part 2

One of the things I REALLY wanted to do when we found out that Jessica was expecting was to give her a journal to write in while they wait for Baby Waite to arrive.  I bent the ear of two of the My Digital Studio Reps at Leadership and then still ended up calling them up for further instruction (I am so thankful to work for a company that has such patient employees)

This is what I came up with...

While I was at Leadership I also spent some time at the UNDEFINED station.  UNDEFINED is where you can design your own stamp.  I never purchased it because I wanted to see how others used it first and to see if it would be something I wanted to invest in.  This is what your kit comes with...  4 wood blocks, 1 stamp rubber, 1 piece of CLEAR MOUNT CLING FOAM in case you want to make it a clear block stamp, 1 Island Indigo Marker and 2 cool carving tools.  One is for larger areas and the other for finer, precise areas.

This is what the refill kit looks like (sorry about my finger in the photo)

Since I knew I wanted to make the journal using a cloud pattern I thought I would make a cloud stamp.  I left it inked up so you could see it better in the photo

When the journal arrived I stamped the cloud image on each page.  I thought it would be a great place for Jess to put the date or a special scripture verse in it when she journaled.

This could be habit forming!!

Here's another idea I got from Pinterest - a pin for the Gramma to be.  I made one for myself and one for Jess' mom as well.

I printed the little baby and words using MY DIGITAL STUDIO and punched it out to fit the smashed bottle cap.  The beads were found at a local specialty shop where I can purchase beads singly.  After I chose the design and how I wanted it to look, Dale helped me to put it all together.  He really is a handy hubby!!  I think I will keep him!!
