December Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Welcome to our December Studio AE Blog Hop.

Today we are featuring projects made with the Studio AE – It’s OK  by Ali Edwards – December 2011.

I played around with this set and created a collection of journaling cards.There are so many possibilities.

I am keeping this little container on my desk. It is filled with the stamp set and all the supplies I need to create a journaling card whenever I need one.

I had this packet of paper 2.5” x 3.5” that is the perfect size for these journaling cards. You can make yours any size that you want or need.

Here is a layout I created using two of my journaling tags. One round, above the photo and one vertical, to the right of the photo. I stamped one more sentiment on patterned paper and the I cut it out. I adhered it to the journaling card using 3D Foam Squares by Therm O Web.
I added a little sentiment under the photo from Favorite Memories by Ali Edwards stamp set.

I just found this layout I created in July…it was for a challenge at Citrus Tree Studio during my Design Team term.

I used My Mind’s Eye patterned paper and Elle’s Studio tags. The glitter alphabet stickers are Doodlebug Design. I used EK Success punch on the right side of the layout and then added a strip of patterned paper to the back.

I love how simple it is so I created a sketch. Feel free to use it.

 

On another note, I am using Windows Live Writer for my blog posts and I love it. You can publish your posts to any of your favorite blog service providers. So easy. I read this somewhere recently so I gave it a try.

Have a great night.

Back to decorating the tree while I snack on these. I am using Candy Cane Hershey kisses.

My little helper earlier today. He loves to help his mommy.

We are back

We drove to Arizona for Thanksgiving to visit family. We had so much fun, especially Alex.

Visiting train museums.

Taking lots of photos.

I visited some scrapbook stores while there: Scrapbooks Etc. and Scrapbook Barn.

My blog posts were scheduled while I was gone and I was busy creating before I left. Trying to get back into our regular routine. I finally finished a layout the other night using December Studio AE It’s OK by Ali Edwards. Blog hop coming on the 10th.

My favorite photo from our trip. Hanging out in downtown Scottsdale.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Scrapbooking and card making posts are coming back this week.

Have a great day.

I have two posts for today. My Impression Obsession DT challenge is below.


December Studio AE is called It's OK by Ali Edwards.

Here is my card.

I stamped the sentiment on the card with Clearsnap ColorBox Pigment Ink: Cocoa and stitched lines with my sewing machine underneath.

The butterflies are stamped with Clearsnap ColorBox Premium Dye Ink: Banana on cardstock and then I cut them out.

I added the butterflies to the card with Zots For Bling Adhesive Dots by Therm O Web because they are tiny and so it the adhesive.

The stamp set looks like this:

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - What would you like to drink? }

Hi and welcome to another Impression Obsession challenge.

Our next challenge, "What would you like to drink?", starts today, December 1st, and continues to the following Wednesday evening, December 7, at 10 PM. If you would like a chance to win free stamps, get busy out there, then post "Stamps Only - No Patterned Paper" at the bottom of the post on Impression Obsession Blog, between December 1-7, using Inlinkz.

Here is my card.

I stamped my background with Cover-a-Card Spatter CC059 using Clearsnap ColorBox Premium Dye Ink: Chocolate. I love that background stamp. I stamped the coffee cups on White Inchie Squares from More Coffee stamp set that is no longer available. Coffee with a Friend CL257 and Espresso Yourself CL332 are similar to the one I used. 

I colored the cups with Koh-I-Noor Watercolor Wheel and inked the Inchie edges with Clearsnap ColorBox Fluid Chalk Ink: Toffee. The sentiment is stamped using Clearsnap ColorBox Fluid Chalk Ink: Blackbird. I stacked three buttons and tied them with twine on the bow.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designer's blogs for inspiration!
