October Stamps Question

Laura M asked if there was a way to purchase Nina Åslund's cute stamps I've used here and here in the US. Currently, I don't think anyone can order from October Stamps. I don't speak Swedish, but Google's translator makes it sound like they are going out of business. You can purchase some of Nina's older animals & monkeys from EZ Mount Stamps here in the US. They don't seem to have the people stamps or the elves though. I haven't ordered from them yet. When I ordered, I got them direct from Sweden.

Hope that helps! I'll be back with a Stamping Bella card later tonight.

Father's Day Part 2

This was the Father's Day card from my son. I think this little boy stamp from October Stamps (designed by Nina Åslund) looks just like him with big bright eyes and a huge smile. I also colored his hat to match my son's Syracuse University baseball hat. hi dada was stamped with Karen Foster Snap stamps. It's a phrase that my little guy says often.

On the inside, I used the new Super Parents stamps from Starving Artistamps. The two stamp lines go together pretty well. If you can't tell, my little guy colored the inside with regular old Crayola crayons.

Anniversary

Yesterday was my ninth anniversary. I can't believe that!

Around Christmas time I had ordered some stamps from October Stamps in Sweden that were designed by Nina Åslund. I just loved this smooching couple. The look on the guy's face was priceless. It looks like the company might have gone out of business which is a shame because I love Nina's stamps! You can find some of her animal and monkey stamps in the US here.

I colored the couple in with my copics. I sure am loving them! Then I decided to pair it with this cute retired Valentine's day paper from Stampin' Up! Since I had the clear buttons out, I decided to make my own little embellishment by punching out the xo circle and gluing it to the back of the button.
