For this week's tea party which is of the tickle your fellow teapotter variety we were to use monkeys. I brought monkeys and a few of their jungle friends. You can tell I spent most of the morning fussy cutting ..lucky for me I just got a new pair of small scissors and they are really sharp. I've been waiting to use that hand again and I thought this the perfect opportunity...the sign is hand drawn around the sentiment. So far the gallery is looking mah-vel-ous! TFL!

Oh gosh, this makes me want to get out a lovely wooden jigsaw I have with a jungle scene, all your ferny rainforest greenery reminds me of it. I love all your monkey cousins and second cousins - and the little zebra. I see we have quite a few giraffes along at the party too - they can lend some much-needed elegance and grace, something I doubt the monkeys will supply.

What a fun scene you created with all the animals, Polly. The monkeys are wonderful, but the HAND got to me!! I love it! that's the kind of stamp I would buy, then have trouble finding a way to use it. You are brilliant!

Polly your monkey and friends card is a hoot! Truly has that jungle feel. Love your hand drawn sign with a hand holding it. Very clever. You did a awesome job using those new scissors too. Fabulously fun card. TFS :0)

I adore your jungle scene. This is so cute with all the great images you added for the jungle. Thank you for playing today to honor Grandpa Holmes and the teapot he bought for his daughter.

So THAT is what they mean when they talk about a "hand-held" sign!!! LOL - You must have already been on a safari somewhere, since your jungle scene is so well done -Even the BIG monkey (gorilla) turned out for this free-for-all tea party!! SO MUCH FUN, with the added element of WHO is stuck in the lake!????? Very creative and lots of imagination here!
