On repeat

I can't stop listening to this song.

What do you have on repeat right now?

Enjoy your weekend!

May Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the May Studio AE from Technique Tuesday blog hop! It's a wonderful day to do some hopping!

I'm having a great time creating with the Simply Joy stamp set and again, am so honored to the the guest designer this month. To show the versatility of these great stamps, I've created a holiday layout inspired by the design of Pinterest (because all of the Christmas cookies and treats were from recipes found via Pinterest).

SUPPLIES:  Cardstock: Bazzill, American Crafts; Patterned paper: October Afternoon, Cosmo Cricket; Tags: Elle's Studio; Ink: StazOn; Alpha stickers: Sassafras; Punch: Marvel, Martha Stewart; Tape: 7Gypsies; Jewel: Bo Bunny; Button: American Crafts; Twine: TheTwinery; Other: vintage typewriter, Silhouette

I primarily use stamps as embellishments and this set is no different. I've taken sentiments from the set and added them to tags and tape on this layout to create a few special touches.

To see more creative ideas for using the May Studio AE stamp set, hop on over and visit these great ladies:

Plus, there's a prize! Technique Tuesday is giving away one random prize – a $20 gift certificate to TechniqueTuesday.com– to someone who comments during the hop. The winner will be announced on the TT blog May 13.

And, don't forget...it's a good time to join Studio AE. That's because TT just reduced the shipping and handling for Studio AE membership by 45% to 60%. You can find out the details about the shipping and handling rate reduction for Studio AE members here.

Guesting for Technique Tuesday

Hello! I'm very excited to be Technique Tuesday's guest designer during the month of May. I have been a long time fan of TT stamps and am so honored to have this opportunity.

The May Studio AE stamp set prompted me to think about scrapping the everyday. The set contains a variety of sentiments that are the perfect compliment to journaling or a title.

I put the stamps to work on this layout which features a snapshot of my iPhone and the craziness of my life.

SUPPLIES:  May Technique Tuesday Studio AE stamps; Ink: StazOn; Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: October Afternoon, Cosmo Cricket; Alpha stickers: Jillibean; Tape: Sweet Bella; Brad: American Crafts; Circle punches: Fiskars, Martha Stewart; Tools: Silhouette, vintage typewriter; Other: AE Everyday Life Prompts digital file

I cut the title for this page with the Silhouette by tracing an Ali Edwards digital image. I love how it looks with the Studio AE stamp as a embellished subtitle.

I'll be back with more TT projects throughout the month. In the meantime, I hope you check out the new Studio AE set! 

Thanks for stopping by,
