I love me a good date stamp, I have a large collection of them – I can’t resist. For me the date is one of the essential page elements because the entire first year I was scrapbooking I probably only dated about two dozen pages (out of 300 or so) and when I printed them and went to put them in an album it took me forever to get them into any sort of chronological order. In 2008 I was only slightly better, I probably dated about half of my pages. Last year I think I managed to get a date on the vast majority (however I scrapped much less last year so that’s not saying a whole lot).
I created Modern Dates because I wanted a set of clean, unfussy dates for my pages this year. The set includes the two sets of year stamps (rectangular and round) and then the months and days of the month (solid and striped sets) are separate files. Oh, and I threw in a “week” stamp (instead of the months) for use on P365, P52, New52, Year of Weekends, etc pages – because sometimes I need that, too. So you can swap all the bits and pieces out, color them how you want them and create the perfect, unobtrusive, easily readable date stamp for your pages. They’re 20% off through Sunday, 1/30, and 100% full of happy.
The Flock just never ceases to amaze me – they’re date stamp junkies like me and really taught me a lesson on how to use these suckers. Like I thought I knew how to use a date stamp, but now I’m filled with self-doubt. Take some time to take a spin through these pages (you can click on any one of them to bring up a larger viewing window) because these girls can generate some serious eye candy.

These are delicious! and I can see they’ll have many uses. Two wonderings …
1) Is there any New 52 today?
2) I loved your handwriting on your previous page. Any chance you’d think of making a font of it and selling it?
Peppermint
1) Yes, definitely a New52 today! Lightroom just locked up when I was trying to pull the photos off so I’m frustrated with technology this morning :: mumble ::
2) The making of a font is something I still need to look into (read: learn to do) .. haha. There’s a chance I will make my handwriting into a font at some point but I hear that script fonts are the toughest to make.

I love these!! Definitely adding them to my stash. I’m also wondering where I can find the credits for these amazing layouts? I’m specifically looking for the hand-drawn border on Tali’s layout. I absolutely love it!
Peppermint
For the most part I have links to all the girls’ galleries on the page labeled “The Flock” up on the top nav of the site. If they’ve posted their pages in their gallery yet then their credits would be listed there. Sometimes it’s a day or two after a release that they’ll post depending on how many other teams they have with new releases – but most of the time you can find them right away.
I happen to know that particular border is from my All Scratched Up borders in the shop, so I’ll save you from hunting. She resized it down to a rectangle – and I love those borders, too.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am the proud owner of your scratched up borders AND the modern dates. Time to play!
