This new stamp set from Ali and Technique Tuesday is called, The Observant Traveler by Ali Edwards. This set consists of 24 clear stamps and works great for scrapbook pages, cards and mini books.
This set ships to Studio AE members between the 10th (that's today!) and the 15th. Non-Studio AE members can also purchase the set for a limited time through the Technique Tuesday Web site. Some retailers are also offfering the Studio AE stamp sets for purchase.
So what did I create?
For those of you who follow my blog regularly, you know that I bought an exercise bike at the beginning of the year, and am endeavoring to bike all the way from Michigan to Oregon in the comfort of my living room. I wanted to create a layout that documents my progress. I should hit 1000 miles by the end of June! I used Staz-On ink and the Main Street Start Me Up Alphabet to stamp the numbers on the photos (Oregon is also stamped with the Main Street Start Me Up) , and then used the numbered lines in the pattern paper to correspond and share my date and mileage report.
*** note: I took screen shots of the maps I've been using to track my progress and I ordered them as photos with my last photo order.
Make sure to check out all the blogs that are taking part in today's blog hop for more creative ways to use this set
