I used Ana's Cupcake Anniversary sketch for Taylored Expressions. If you want to play along, check out her sketch here. I hunted around for a cute little image to stamp and color and I couldn't find anything appropriate for a boy. Then, I dug out one of my old CTMH stamp sets and decided on the monkey. I thought it fitting since W was a monkey last Halloween!
