Love this project by Raechelle Bellus!

Swing on over to Rae’s blog to see it all b/c there’s obviously lots more to see!

Sad to say that I only got two cr’s to describe the next color set! So, here it is…

Thanks so much to Stefani Riley!

Here’s Stefani’s post -
Hi and congratulations on one year! I wish I had a blog so I could use the blinkies!
My color idea is Apples! You know Apples for fall. A variety of Reds, Yellows and of course Greens!
I’ve been so happy with my storage system and am very proud to be a Cheeky Little Monkey!

Introducing…Apple Set!

A mix of reds and greens with a splash of apple-y yellow!

Are you starting to reach for that apple sitting on the counter yet? As I mulled over the different suggestions, the Apple Set kept popping in my head. As I walked through the grocery store, there it was again. As the leaves started to change colors, Apple Set. After a while, I wasn’t even sure it wasn’t MY OWN idea! ha! Apparently, I really, really love it. Thanks a big bunch, Stefani - of apples, that is!
Now that I have it all together in one place, it’s even more clear what a great set this is. With the reds and greens, it’s also very appropriate for the holiday season!! That wasn’t really a consideration initially, but as things came together, the light bulb went on and everything really fell into place for this color set very quickly after that.

Be sure to think about Little Monkeys when you plan gifts for your family and friends - even yourself! This new color set is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. It’s one of our most versatile sets since it covers pretty much every occasion. Great for fall (aka apple season!), great for the holidays, great for fun kid stamps. Mix them in with other color sets and use them for alphas or sentiments. Dedicate them all to a specific stamp company. You name it, this set’s got it covered! The colors really pop and they’ll keep that wonderful holiday spirit flowing as you use your stamps working on different cards or projects or even as you flip through them later during the year.

As usual, this is a limited release available beginning now and lasting only through mid-February, when the next color set will be revealed. Get yours now to have on hand as you get ready for the holidays!

One thing that’s not necessarily new, but is a new release - our Birthday Mini Set is joining the list of options on a more permanent basis as…Cupcake Mini Set! Thanks for all the feedback on this great mini set! I’m really excited to have this available year round! So, if you missed out in October, now’s your chance to get it!

hmmm… or yummm!

Check out this next Design Monkey creation - Laura Canale’s cool gift card holder!

Don’t you just need some of those on hand?    She’s got tons more pics (& a giveaway!!) on her blog, so swing on over to check it all out!

It’s time for the Design Monkeys to start showing their stuff! Since the theme for our stamp sets was based on the Little Monkeys Turns One Celebration, everything is birthday, birthday, birthday! Here’s what we’re going to do…I will have a post on our main blog with a link to the different designer’s blog. So, from our main post, you can swing over (hehe) to their individual blogs to get the full project and additional info. That’s also where you’ll find challenges and giveaways!

We’re going to start things off this month with this awesome Birthday in a Box project by Lara Badanes!! Is it one project or many? lol Gonna have to check for yourself!

Be sure to swing by her blog to see the full project and enter the drawing, too!

Along with the stamp-related projects we’ll be sharing each month, we also will highlight one Design Monkey’s stamp storage system. Join us and get inspired with fun ways to use and/or alter your own systems! We’ll have the first one coming up shortly!
