The Love's Stationary

A quick trip to paper source one Monday afternoon to order stationary for a wedding gift, turn into a 2 hour exciting, inspiring and yes expensive trip! The sweet girl that helped me encouraged me to do something I would never have thought to do. To make my own monogrammed/personalized embossed stationary. After the purchase of blank stationary, lower case stamps, stamp pad, zap dryer and embossing powder, I was off to make stationary! 

This was such a fun process! Here is how it turned out... 

half of the stationary I stamped aLt for their initals 

the other half  I stamped todd and amber love on the card and the loves on the envelope

paper source even supplied me with a stationary box for the cards, got to stamp that one up too!

my favorite girls and I at the wedding! xoxo

Check out paper source for some inspiration... they will never let you down!

Angel of the Lord

⁹ "An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." 

Luke 2:9

Merry Christmas!
