My grandson recently celebrated his first birthday. Since his daddy calls him "little monkey", he's inundated with monkey-themed papercrafts from me. (Yes, I'm creatively challenged. Give me a theme and I'll work it to death.)
I started with the monkey from the Cricut cartridge Birthday Bash (page 36 in my handbook). Since he looks like he's either swinging at a pinata or about to get some street justice with his baseball bat, I decided alterations were in order.

I carefully cut the bat away and replaced it with heart-shaped balloons from the same cartridge (Kangaroo, layer 2, page 49 in my handbook). I ditched the blindfold/facemask, too. No longer wielding his weapon, it seemed out of place. (BTW--Who decided it was a good idea to put a group of eager children in a circle around another blindfolded child who's swinging a big stick at a box of candy???)

The sentiment "Happy Birthday little Guy" and the number "1" are also from Birthday Bash (page 61, Squirrel key).
This is definitely one of my favorite cartridges. Thanks for looking!
