Jewelry Affaire is calling to me with it’s gorgeous palette and vintage designs. I always find instruction and inspiration in it’s pages. A true representation of “Art to Wear”. Thank you!
Somerset studio would be my dream. I would read it cover to cover and absorb all the techniques and pictures. The best thing to do, next to creating, is reading your magazine
I love the wonderful ideas in Journaling…so many are new to me!
The Art Journaling issue looks scrumptious!! I LOVE to journal and one of my sweetest material treasures is a journal my grandparents kept!! THANKS!!
Love me some ART JOURNALING! Want to see the Cardboard Crush Journal…

My daughter’s jewelry making efforts are getting a following and she’s reorganizing her studio space to make creating more inspiring, so I’d like to surprise her with Where Women Do Business or Jewelry Affaire as my way of encouraging her talent! Thanks for the opportunity to share one of your publications with her :)
omg I’m just salivating at these new issues….especially the art journaling issue….I would love love love to get this magazine & probably faint on the spot if I won it because I can’t ever find this one locally!
The Belle Armoire issue looks chock full of inspiring ideas!
The Somerset Studio magazine grabbed my attention and did NOT let go! The first thing I spied was the Artist Profile with Danielle Donaldson…I just adore her work, both her styling methods and colors palettes always speak sweet things to me. The CUFFS, oh my goodness…love them. I have to make myself at least one of them, probably more. This magazine enthralls me monthly. I have a bowl on my dresser with all of my change, it is my Somerset Studio stash. Some months I don’t quite make it. The $5 coupon and chance at a giveaway make this month even more fun!!
I’d love to win the Stampers Sampler. As always, there’s lots of inspiration in it!
Jewelry Affair…after resisting learning to create artistic jewelry because I am so obsessed with creating everything else already, I took a wire wrap class at my local arts center and ruined it all.
Art Journaling is calling to me.
I can’t wait to get my hands on Art Journaling. The Cardboard Crush Journal and journal for a year project look like they would be so much fun to make! Creative ways to record life’s special moments and set aside time for intentional reflection.
I am just starting to get into journaling and would love a copy of Journaling!
I would have to go with Somerset Life for this time around just to see the wonderful things that are in it.
I always go for Somerset Studio & Sew Somerset, but this July Belle Amoire looks like it’s packed with new inspirations that I could certainly take a lot of enjoyment & maybe even some new skills from. Thanks to the artists who share their talents & to Stampington & Co. for bringing so many projects & supplies to us !!!
I love the little glimpse of Somerset Life! I have a subscription to Somerset Studio and it is one of my very favorite mags! So much inspiration, it’s like candy for my soul!!!
Belle Armoire this is one I have not bought yet
These are really fun. Mingle or the art journaling both look fun.
I would love to get my hands on Belle Armoire! The projects sound beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win!
I enjoy your jewelry magazines. They give me a new prospective in beautiful designs.
Where Women Create Business is one of my favorites because it makes me feel that if other women can be successful so can I.
I can’t wait to get Art Journaling! Repurposed shipping pallets? I can’t wait to see what that is all about.
One of my favorites is Sew Somerset & I especially like the Holiday Issue!
My favorite is Stampers’ Sampler and I’d love to win it to add to my collection. The magazines are always so inspiring!
“Art Journaling, Linda Arandas illustrates how a mostly neutral color palette can result in striking journal pages.” This sounds like such a relief from all the flamingo pink and turquoise that I’d just love to read it!
I’m most excited about Somerset Studio and Art Journaling.
Can’t wait to see The Stampers Sampler!!!!!
Oh Sweet Belle Amoire I would so live to win you!
Oh so hard to chose but my first love is making jewelry so I would love to get Jewelry Affaire! But Art Journaling is new to me so that is exciting too.
Mingle would be my choice. I’m currently planning a garden party, and all the ideas in Mingle are so inspiring. Plus, I just love the photographs!
The new issue of Jewelry Affaire looks very intriguing. Would love to win it!
I am trying to broaden my artistic horizons so would love a copy of Art Journaling. I am *always* inspired by your publications–keep up the great work!
I’d love to receive a copy of Mingle – always love seeing how others entertain!
My favorite is the Art Journaling. I love using different styles of art and coloring.
I’d have to say Stamper’s Sampler, or Somerset Studio for me–I’m a teacher on summer break and would love some inspiration for playing with my art!
This project is so easy, I have to try it. Also best stamper sampler ever!
Somerset Studio or Stampers Sampler. Would love to win. I love to stamp cards, but journaling is fun too. Fingers crossed…
I’d love a copy of Mingle. So many parties to throw!
for me, it’s the two “j”s… journalling and jewelry; both have fresh ideas
I am most interested in Art Journaling. I love to doodle and write and they just go together so well!
All the magazines are so wonderful, but my very favorite is Somerset Life!
I already subscribe to the wonderful Somerset
Life, but I am always tempted to pick up Stampers’ Sampler and would love to win an issue! Thank you!
I’d love a copy of “Where Women Create Business”. It’s a DREAM of mine to have my own business with ART and CHILDREN. Thanks!!!
I can never wait for the Art Journaling. Love it!
I love so many of your magazines it’s hard to choose a favorite, but Jewelry Affaire is really calling to me. I’d love to win an issue to add to my collection!
I adore Somerset Studio and Would LOVE to win a copy!! Happy 4th of July to you all- hope it is a safe and happy holiday for you and your families!
I’d love to get my hands on Somerset Life….that’s because I already purchased the new Journaling Magazine. Loved the Art to the 5th article.
The Stampers’ Sampler is the magazine for me. I’m a die heart stamper and enjoy all the inspiration in this publication.

Art Journaling sounds like it is full of great inspiration this month, but of course they nearly all look interesting to me!
I would love to win a copy of Belle Armoire or Where Women Create BUSINESS. I have a very hard time finding them in my area (East Texas). Thanks for the opportunity and Happy July 4th weekend!
The summer issue of Belle Armoire – I love the Indigo article. Would love to win that issue.
Thank you for the opportunity.
The article on indigo was so informative! I couldn’t believe how complicated it was to keep dye baths working. I also thought it was interesting that the cloth starts has a different color and then develops after it has been taken out of the bath.
I’m sooo intrigued by art journaling that that would be the magazine I would like the most. Thanks!
OMG …LOVE the featured necklaces in the Jewelry Affaire issue … just my style!!
I love them too! I think Jewelry Affaire excels at finding jewelry that can be worn everyday, but is still truly unique. I love it when someone tells me they love my necklace, and I can tell them it’s handmade and one-of-a-kind.
Mingle – looks like fun!
Art Journaling is definitely where I’d go!
Somerset Life is always the best so that is my 1st choice.
I’m a Jewelry Affaire fan through and through!
I have always wanted to begin a creative journal, so Art Journaling would be my choice!
Ooh, so many good choices! I think I’d like the “Somerset Studio” best tho as I like to do paper crafts. Thanks and God bless!
Somerset Studio looks amazing! I can’t wait to read the Artist’s Profile. Danielle Donaldson’s artwork looks so fun! I absolutely love those colors! I am also itching to find out about the cuff bracelets! The projects are so inspiring! I love Somerset Studio, such a fabulous magazine!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I’ve kept written journals for years, but I love the idea of an ART journal! Wow, this is a tough decision… Okay, Art Journaling, please.
I confess to reading every one of their titles I can get my hands on. If Stampington publishes it, I’ll read it. {But keep that to yourself, please. People who aren’t creative don’t understand.}
Love your mags and have been a Somerset Studio subscriber for years. Would really love to win Jewelry Affaire. This would be a new read for me and I’m dabbling into that hobby. Need some ideas to get started.
Oooh, which to choose? I love Stampington publications…for this time of year I’d love to have Belle armoire to alter/make some unique clothes to pump up my creativity! ! When I have a fun “artist outfit” to wear in my studio it gets me going!
love all your magazines! wouldnt be able to choose. Just send any one :)
Art Journaling is a constant source of inspiration for me. I look at them over and over. The Somerset magazines can be hard to find on the news stands so I’d love to receive art Journaling or belle amore.
I’d like to try Mingle. It looks very interesting and would help me decorate my home. Thanks for the chance to get it.
Oooo, they all look so intriguing! Any one of them would make my day. I’d have to say I’d love to get my hands on the Stampers sampler or The Jewelry Affair most of all.
The Stampington Family of magazines have opened up my world and my life in so many ways! I think at this time, the Where Women Create Business title would be one that I could learn and grow the most from. (Perhaps it could encourage me to take the next steps??;)) Thank you for all that every member of your team does for this creative industry.
