Before we get to the final One Day Monday Summer Freebie I wanted to share another fun example using the brand new September stamps, particularly since Inked is half gone! If it sells out before the day is through, then it will go to a preorder status so that you can still save 10% for its initial release. FYI, the other new stamps are almost half gone as well. :)

Thank you for the love of this month’s stamps! They were so much fun to make and I’ve had a blast using them.

 

 

Here I used a mix of them–Itty Bitty: Plus for the background, A Numbered Account for the large numbers, number bar and title, and then my ever-lovin’ Inked to make splats…right where I want them. Everyone say hallelujah! :)

And if you missed this fun little example on social media this past weekend, here’s a little Chicago alphabet in action. Looooooove this look! I combined it with a phrase from PNW.

 

 

Okay, so now, can someone tell me where summer went, because I surely don’t know. It’s been pretty crazy here. Not a super planned summer either. It’s amazing how they can fill up. But then, maybe you had a nice relaxing one–sleeping in, hanging out by the pool and feasting on BBQs.

Well, however you spent your summer, it’s now time to get back into a routine and for many, that means school. Ohhh, those were the days. I don’t have that set official start of hourly routine, but rather, it’s more of an organic, fall-is-coming routine. You know what I mean, right? I can’t flit about in the mountains like I like. :)

So in honor of so many of you in the going-back-to-school gang, this is our last freebie of summer…Back To School.

 

 

So much fun to be had here, particularly with the backpack on account-a it can be used not only for school, but for hiking or traveling.

And it was a good thing I didn’t put this up without testing it when our spur-of-the-moment trip to Bend, Oregon took us traveling and hiking. I’d originally made it in an outline phrase, but it just wasn’t cutting well enough for me as I’d made it, so I opted to just make it a solid shape and it turned out better for this combo, I think. I really just made the title as an accent to go with the cute backpack design. ;)
