Junk Drawer Monster Notecards -- Monster Jam 2026

For the Monster Mystery Express Swap, I made a set of notecards. [GridArt_20260511_220832898] The backgrounds are strips of underused washi tapes ftom my stash (probably subconsciously inspired by geekgirl’s recent washi cards). I was struggling with inspiration for the monster piece of things until I hit on the idea of using found objects, which morphed into me rifling through the junk drawer. (And finding more old dumb phones than I knew I had around. Separate story.) Here’s the haul; not q…

A Monstery Zine

While brainstorming monsters for my notecards, I had the idea to create creatures from mashing up the letters in “monster.” I decided to go a different route but didn’t want the legwork I’d done to go to waste, so I repurposed it for a little zine. [20260514_200746] I used “monstery” because for my purposes I needed an even number of letters.

I used the prompts from various weeks, but I officially counting this furry purple guy toward this week.

I have a fuzzy Week 2 monster! Yaaay! (Cue Kermit arms…)

This is Snorgle, who will be a friend to one of my grandkids, to keep away the scary monsters.

[Whystler (T. Shawn Johnson)]

Is this monster orange enough for the orange monster week? Shiny from the moon? Ok, it’s a stretch. But at least I got to show my monster lol.

[gozer (Becca)]

I love that monster @Whystler! What a friendly little face. Love the style!

Week 3 (May 17 - May 23) - Orange, Aquatic, Sparkly, Shiny

Here is my contribution. I added Wink glitter brush to give it a sparkly shimmer. The second pic is so you can see some of the glitter.

[Manders]

I love that he’s distracted by his own shiny tail lol

[Bunny1kenobi (Deanna 🇺🇸)]

How cute is this little guy!!?!

I have another friendly monster to add. Dribble will defend my grandkids from scary monsters!
