If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here. All of the previous posts can be found archived here. There is a flickr group for sharing right here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it. If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post. Thanks!
Because of the way that I art journal, I use number stamps virtually every single day. As you can see below, each journal entry begins with the date — usually stamped, but sometimes hand drawn or using stickers.
For the past year I've been primarily using a set of plain and simple number stamps that I carved up.
The other day I decided that I wanted something fancier. So I grabbed a fancy font, called "Cast Iron…"
…and I edited it slightly to create a new set of fancy number stamps!
I love how they turned out!
And, of course, I've already used them in my art journal:
Now I simply have to find a box that's the perfect size to hold them. Right now they're rolling around in a container that's a bit too large. Or I suppose I could carve up the whole alphabet and really fill that container…a project for a rainy day!
Here is this week's linky list:
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, I love the fancy carved font!!!:) I really should give stamps carving another try! (The first time I tried it, I was really frustrated, but maybe the substrate was just to crumbly…or me too clumsy^^)
Anyways, I’m happy to see you made a book, too! Goes directly to my christmas wish list^^
Best wishes,
Moni

These stamps are SO cool Julie! SU stamp boxes are great for storing your carved creations as they’re clear and stackable. I can send you some if you’d like. Perhaps with some Asher’s — it’s that time of year!

Due to a burn-out, I haven’t been around on the internet much… I managed to get up my own blogposts with art journal pages every now and then but did not upload my work in flickr and/or visited blogs or commented… now that I’m doing a bit better (not ‘there’ yet, but moving forward) I’m glad to find some blogs/artists/inspiration/ YOU are still going strong! Hope to participate in AJED again soon! Love from Holland, Marit

Julie you are very talented and lovely. I create unique things for weddings such as table numbers, escort cards and ways to display them to guests also because I am a cabinet and furniture maker I create culturally inspired hand held and compact mirrors using exotic wood as wedding favors. I found your site while looking for new number patterns, I never thought about making my own stamps. I’ll give it a try. Thanks so much Ron Douglas
