July 2011 - Studio AE Blog Hop
Welcome to the July Studio AE Blog Hop! I love seeing what Ali and the Studio AE team have dreamed up with the newest stamp set. And I love reading what you all have to say about the new set and their projects. This month the Studio AE set is called Get Outside. If you are a member of Studio AE, we will start shipping this stamp set tomorrow. It is also available for a limited time on our website for non-Studio AE members.
The creative team has made some amazing projects using the new stamp set. As you visit each blog, you will find ideas and inspiration for your next project. Plus you're going to want to leave a comment on any (or all) of the blogs before midnight on July 12th. On July 13th, we are going to pick two lucky people from all of the comments to win a set of Smooch stamps.
- Ali Edwards
- Linda Barber (our Studio AE Guest for July)
- Nichol Magouirk
- Laura O'Donnell
- Jaime Warren
- Sharyn Tormanen
- Teri Anderson
Once you have visited all seven blogs, I'd like to invite you to come back here and leave a comment here too. Just tell me something you liked about the blog hop. Some lucky person will win a set of the Date with Ali stamps.
The blog-hop was awesome! My favorite layout was hands down Nichol's and her how she used that cute tree!

This was the first time ever that I joined a Blog Hop and I loved it so much! It was great to see all those layouts which worked with this nice new stamp set and each one has been so special and different from the ones I had seen before! They had really shown that the stamps can be used in so many different ways and this is what I always liked about the Technique Tuesday Stamps! Great job!

What was not to love about this fab blog hop? I loved seeing the stamping the best! I am trying to do more of it on my layouts, so all this inspiration was great! Love TT & Ali's stamps!

That was a great blog hop, I finished it a few hours ago. I love the clean and simple designs that the DT members did and the way that they all incorporated the new stamp set, which is awesome!!

I completed the hop and feel so inspired! I loved all the pictures of the outdoors. When the sun is shining (as it is right now) it's hard NOT to want to spend every moment outside.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I LOVED the hop! I especially liked Nichol's use of the stamps for the vertical journaling. LOVED that!

I liked all of the posts but Jaime's most. Love the stamped and cut out words.

For me, blog hops always bring together ideas and techniques centered around an item that I never would have thought of. I loved the use of Ali's stamps in all different ways. In a short amount of time, I'm inspired to look outside the box. Thanks.

I love the monthly blog hop showcasing teh Ali stamps - gives me lost of ideas on how to use them, especially on scrapbooking pages. Love the technique to combine printed words + stamps in the journaling.
Posted by: Rita Timmons | July 10, 2011 at 12:01 PM
What I love most about any blog hunts is all the layout ideas I get. Both with layouts, use of stamps, colors etc. Often I get ideas of something I also want to document about my life, family or kids. All the layouts were beautiful.
Posted by: Tawnda Andrews | July 10, 2011 at 12:12 PM
I loved seeing the different layouts and the versatility to the new AE stamp. I especially liked seeing it used on the Tim Holtz tag...super creative!
Posted by: Danielle Geraty | July 10, 2011 at 12:18 PM
I just love that you do this blog hop. I copy and paste every idea and keep with me stamp set. Glad I'm a Studio AE member! Thanks so much.
Posted by: Nancy | July 10, 2011 at 12:39 PM
I loved the versatility of the stamp. There were layouts that used it as a title, in journaling, and even a card.

I love the blog hop. I started looking at the ideas last month and then decided to become a studio ae member since I loved knowing what I can do with the various stamps included in the sets. Seeing the various diverse applications is inspiring. hope that you continue with the hop.
Posted by: Nina Chow | July 10, 2011 at 03:01 PM

I like to see all the different takes on the stamp set. I struggle with how to use a stamp set different ways and the blog help gives me tons of ideas.
Thanks for doing it and keep it up!

What a wonderful and diverse blog hop this has been. I absolutely love the different styles and techniques that I have seen tonight. Well done to all of them and well done to you for such a wonderful set of stamps. I would dearly love a set, but doubt there will be any left to be sold in the UK!!
Posted by: Sam | July 10, 2011 at 03:43 PM
I love the Studio AE blog hops because they let me see such a wide range of styles and uses for Ali's stamp set with the different designers! I think my favorite this month was Laura's way she incorporated the words into an angled, patterned-paper type look. Loved that!
Posted by: Kimberli Sarsfield | July 10, 2011 at 03:58 PM
I love these stamps. It was great seeing how the different women used the stamps.
Posted by: Jane F. | July 10, 2011 at 04:10 PM
Bev, I loved how all the stamps were used differently- how easy it was to get inspiration to use the stamps - such a clever idea. I look forward to this now every month!!! Thanks

Posted by: Lina F. | July 10, 2011 at 04:55 PM
If you are going to make me pick a favorite :) it would be the cut out and pop dotted phrases. But one of my favorite things on blogs or articles is seeing how several people use the same product so I really loved seeing all the creative ways to use this set.
Posted by: JillT | July 10, 2011 at 05:07 PM
The new set is fantastic and I really love all the sample projects from de hop. Thanks for the chance to win :)

I loved seeing all the unique wonderful techniques everyone used on the blog hop. One of my favorite things was how Nichol incorporated the stamps into her typed journaling! Such a talented group of ladies.
Posted by: Sandy | July 10, 2011 at 06:49 PM
What a great blog hop! Even though the stamps were quite specific this month the DT were able to use them in such a diverse way. Really inspiring!
Posted by: Claire | July 10, 2011 at 06:54 PM
It is so cool to see how very differently everyone used the stamps. It really helps to have all those cool examples and then of course you NEED the stamp set yourself! LoL! Thank you.
