Welcome to the June Studio AE from Technique Tuesday blog hop.
June’s stamp is called Life Right Now:
A similar digital version of this set is available here.
Here’s a look at my layout:
Simple white cardstock background. Outline machine stitching. Simple photo (that I love). Simple journaling about her life right now at age 3.
Here’s a look at some of the details:
I started out by using my sewing machine to stitch a foundation and then embossed the “life right now” stamp with Zing Brown Sugar embossing powder.
Underneath I cut and adhered a flower accent from Crate Paper’s Pretty Party Chipboard Accents.
Above the photo I added the circle three which was cut (with a circle punch) from Crate Paper’s Tag Cuts 12×12 Storyteller Paper. I added another line of stitching and some more of those wood veneer stars from Studio Calico (using glossy accents).
Below the chipboard flower piece I embossed “love this” and added stitched lines for my journaling.
In the opposite corner I added a couple words.
On top of the flower chipboard I stapled a letter “A” from the cork alpha is from Close To My Heart.

Simple confectionery perfection…. Love the sewing and the simplicity of journaling, image, chipboard and stamps. *smile*
I love this layout! What a perfect stamp set and cool color embossing powder. This stamp set would make a great silhouette cut file – any chance of that?
Hi Cassie – you can take any of my digital PNG files and use them with the Silhouette by using the trace function. This set is available here: http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/12637.

Love the page Ali — I mean really love it. I like the clean lines, the floral accent, and the way the story and photo are the main parts. Thanks for sharing this — and I hope Anna stays with gymnastics!
I love the combination of filled in stamp and open. What will you design next?
Okay, now I see why Char LOVES your ‘stuff’! This page is great!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the stitching! What a great idea to emboss the sentiments! It’s on plain white paper but boy is it GREAT!!!!
I think this is one of my very favorite layouts I’ve seen of yours Ali. I absolutely LOVE it! Nicely done!

I love this layout!! I can’t wait to pull my sewing machine out! You really fill me with inspiration!!! Thanks
Adorable…love your layout!!!
Just beautiful. You have so evoked the emotion of the photo with the layout. Thank you so much.
Oh my goodness I LOVE the stitched frame and journaling lines. I’ve never thought to do stitched journaling lines! Thank you so much for inspiring me. You are my favorite designer. You are always doing something that’s fresh and clean and different than everyone else. I love layouts with tons of layers and mists and products but when I look at yours I think “perfection”. What I love is that your clean look isn’t graphic, blocky and boring. It’s the perfect balance of words & pictures and product. It’s like a ray if sunshine, beautiful, fresh & happy.
One of my favorite things about these hops is opening up your posts and seeing how you use the stamps. It’s always so cool to see how you use your designs.
Wishing you a good rest of the weekend!
Beautiful layout-love the way you used the chipboard and the stitching!!
Love this LO. I enjoy my Studio AE stamps and wait anxiously for them to be revealed and shipped. Thanks for providing such awesome products!
What a sweet LO!
love how you used stitching for your journaling lines. Genius! Never thought to put glossy accents on my wood veneers. So inspiring!
What a great and wonderful layout, love all you do. Thanks for sharing it.
I love the look of the embossed sentiments on the highly textured paper along with your stitching! A feast for the eyes! Great new sentiments, Ali! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful page, Ali. I just love the stitching you’ve used around the page and for the journaling. This is such a wonderful stamp set for capturing sweet memories like this one of Anna!
gotta get the sewing machine out and dust it off!
