Don't you love it when stamps speak for themselves?

When you have no need for much but a little ink and some cardstock. Well...and maybe a bit of sewing and some ribbon too. :)

The new Donna Downy stamps are just that. AMAZING images.

stamps: Little Monsters paper: october afternoon pp & PTI cardstock ink: memento other: MAMBI gem, gel pens

I thought I would leave you with a little trick. I used an 8x8 pad of October Afternoon for my monsters and just used the edge of it for my sentiment. Trim and stamp. Super easy and resourceful, right? :)

Lots more to come this week. :)

Super Sunday!!

Today is Maxwell's 9th Birthday! I can't believe it! Halfway to becoming an adult! :(

I made a little mini album for him today. It goes through the alphabet and describes him perfectly.

Adventurous. Brave. Caring. Determined. Endearing. Funny. Goofy. Hero. Intelligent. Joyful. King of the Castle. Loving. Macho. Nobel. One of a Kind. Playful. Quick Witted. Reliable. Strength. Tough. Unbelievable. Valiant. Wise. X-traordinary. Young at Heart. Zany.

I used the NEW FANCY PANTS release--> Life Father Like Son

I also used lots of Unity (of course) Favorite Things, Capture Life, Unforgettable Moments, Priceless Reflections, UR ectetra, LeChic Vintage, It's About Me, Amazing Me, Confession I Luv Unity, Scalloped Journal, Plaid Journal Box, the Details, I'd Rather Be, and Scalloped Details and Dates.
