Monsters and Dinosaurs, oh my!

Two weeks ago the family packed up for a mini-vacation to Calgary and Drumheller. For whatever reason, I decided to pack up stamping supplies so that my friend's kids and mine could have some crafting time. What started out as making some Sesame Street monsters, ended up being the birthday invitations for my friend's three year-old daughter!










After struggling for a couple days piecing together these adorable little monsters, I thought I should begin my son's birthday invitations. Given our recent trip to Drumheller and the absolutely fabulous dinosaur stamps designed by Dustin Pike for Paper Makeup Stamps ... I came up with these:





Now if I could only figure out the date, place, and time, then perhaps I could mail them out! After putting twelve of these together, I turned my attention to a belated card I need for a pre-teen boy I know. The perfect card layout unfortunately is not one of my own designs, rather an imperfect copy of one done by Katie Cotton, owner of Paper Makeup Stamps.

The sentiment is from Paper Makeup - of course I couldn't find mine (one of the monsters I suspect) so I had to resort to printing it on the computer. My son calls this dino Rexy from Night at the Museum.

Thanks for looking!
