thank you, doctor spooner!

have i mentioned that lovely husband jeff and i have been collecting spoonerisms* for the last few years? my favorite so far has been, "the nuns of gaverone"! turns out, monstas enjoy a good play on words, as well!


(monsta cut from paperchase giftwrap; vintage gamecard facsimile from "the ephemera book" (a recent rummage sale find!) patterned paper: dcwv; cupcake: martha stewart: stickers and clouds: love elsie; other: dymo labeller, colorbox inks, foam tape)

text reads, "happy earthday, birthling!"

to answer the question you have very kindly refrained from asking: YES, i will be making some non-monsta birthday cards again soon! it's just that january is kind of top-heavy with "guy birthdays" and i needed some suitable greetings, pdq. also, i am just still really really enamoured of these little dudes--they never fail to make me smile! at least nobody can accuse me of being fickle, right??! :)

*do not try this with huckleberry finn! oof! you've tried it anyway, haven't you?! well don't say i didn't warn ya! :)
