Hi everyone!
It’s Studio AE Blog Hop time once again! Hooray!
This month, we are using the new Hello December by Ali Edwards stamp set.
I think this set is great for December Daily type projects and for Christmas cards. Technique Tuesday is not releasing a December Daily set this year, but they have released a number of Christmas themed sets from Ali over the last few months. With those sets and this one, I am feeling pretty covered in that department!
I decided for today’s hop to make something not Christmas or December-y with the set.I really wanted to try to stretch the limits of it so I made this little scrapbook page of a favorite picture I took while at the fair last month.
I used one of the set’s borders to stamp up the rainbow background on cardstock.
I stamped one phrase from the new Studio AE set (“Favorite Memories”) in the middle of one of the red borders. Then I pulled out some stamps from other Technique Tuesday stamp sets and stamped words from them in the others. Those sets were: Incredible by Ali Edwards; Seriously Rad; In a Nutshell and Awesome.
I also poked holes in a couple of the borders and tied solid twine through them.
I finished off the page with a little journaling, completed on my trusty typewriter.
I do a lot of journaling by hand and on my computer, but it’s nice to mix things up once in awhile with the typewriter.
So that’s all I have for today.
Be sure to check out the blogs of everyone hopping today.
