Good Morning and welcome to the January Studio AE Blog Hop. The first 10th of the New Year - time does go by rapidly, doesn't it?
I hope you're enjoying a wonderful 2012 so far! Me? Most definitely. Although I've got my fingers crossed for snow.
That's me - crossing my fingers for snow while scrapbooking last summer's pictures.
But I think they suited this month's Studio AE - Bring on the Love, don't you? I love the look of the solid stamps. I think they look like an embellishment all on their own. To get a nice clean image here, I ended up grabbing today's newspaper off the table and sliding it under my paper and stamp. It provided just the right amount of cushion to help get that imaged stamped perfectly.
Make sure to stop by all the other blog's in today's blog hop and share a comment - the more comments you leave, the better your chances!
Sharyn <----- That's me

You have quite a following, sharyn and I can see why. Your work is always new and always a pleasure.

Your colors are so honey warm; the paper is perfect, and so is the ink. Mahalo for sharing.

neat tip about the newspaper ... always quicker than looking for the stamp pad or a mouse pad!

Cute boys! And a cute layout. Love it!

I love the color pallet you chose to work with. Awesome lo.
Posted by: Kelly | January 10, 2012 at 08:42 PM
This is such a wonderful layout! Love the colors you've chosen and way you used this stamp set. I've tried several different tips on how to get a full solid color coverage and still can't get it work most of the time. So I'll try the newspaper and see what happens. How much of the newspaper did you use? That might make a difference too..too cushy or not cushy enough!! Thanks for any and all info you give us!

Did you stamp the leaves or is that patterned paper? Love the earthy tones- yellow and brown make me long for spring/summer.
