Monkeys Everywhere!

I saw a card similar to this (with the four cutout circles) on another blog and wanted to try it myself. I added another layer to the circles. It was a lot of work...not sure it was worth the effort! To top it off...when I got to the last circle on the cardstock my circle punch quit working. (Anyone know why or what to do?) So I had to kind of cut one out by hand. That's why it's lopsided a bit.



All stamps are from Clear Dollar Stamps.

love the layers and love the monkeys. It may be a pain to make this layout but it sure is cute! A friend just saved my brand-new circle punch that stopped working. She took it apart and fixed the spring that came off the post and now it works again. woo hoo! She added a washer too but I didn't see the process so not sure where or how. :) good luck!

Love the colours in this Jane and yes, I think it was worth the effort.

Your punch - has it jammed or is it cutting 'blunt'? Try punching it through some aluminium foil (the kitchen stuff). That's what I do when they start to stick.

You have blog bling at my place.

I think these monkeys are cute!! I have seen that aluminum foil will help sharpen a punch and wax paper helps to lube it up a bit if it is sticking. Not sure if those suggestions will work, but worth a try if it is just stuck.
