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
As a thank you for all the comments received during the hop, we will give away not one - but TWO stamp sets.
One lucky commenter will win our Hearts by Ali Edwards stamp set, and another lucky commenter will win our The Cupcakery stamp set.
You don't need to leave a comment on all the blogs to be eligible to win, but the more comments you DO leave - the more chances you have.

Great layout about your little boys. Love the colors and how you used the new stamp set.
Posted by: Kathy R | January 10, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Nice job, Sharyn!
I really like that you didn't go all super love-y, girly with the set. I like that you did something about your boys and used boy colors!
Here's to a good day! :)

Posted by: Cynthia Larson | January 10, 2012 at 03:33 PM
Your LO looks wonderful - thank you for the tip with the newspaper - sometimes those solid stamps don't make 100% contact.

You have a very good eye for putting papers together that look like they were meant to be put together. Very natural looking.
Posted by: B. Poteraj | January 10, 2012 at 04:10 PM
I love the photos! and the colours but it is that story (I have a similar one with my two little ones too) that's what got me. Thanks.
Posted by: Karen Freeman | January 10, 2012 at 04:23 PM
MY fingers and toes are crossed for some snow also. Need some white pictures to take around here.
Really like your thoughts on using the stamps more as embellishments.
Thanks for sharing with us.
