As usual, want to drop what I’m doing and peruse them all, but I’m finding the Folk-Art Birds in this issue of Prims especially enticing — and that is not my usual style or medium!
Looks awesome! I already got my subscriber copy of Somerset Studio and loved it. I can’t wait to get the Art Journaling issue, though… always a favorite!
I love Prims!
Somerset Life for sure! any issue I’ve ever purchased ends up with dog ear corners :-)
a feast for the eyes!
It always amazes me how many things can be produced and reinvented at home. I’m looking forward to a new egg-citing look at some spring crafts. The thought of making my own tissue is such a curious endeavor, I can’t wait!
Stampers Sampler always intrigues me-such innovative and creative artists…always coming up with new ideas
It has to be Art Journaling for me !
I am anxious to see the 20 pages the paper artists did for the For the Birds challenge as I want to make cards incorporating birds. Some new Valentine ideas will be motivating as well. The star image looks new and versatile.
The For the Birds Challenge results are amazing. I never knew there were so many card ideas using birds! Plus, no two are alike!
I can’t wait to see The Stampers’ Sampler. Always a treat!
ooh,it’s Somerset Life that has me just dying to get my hands on, and then to create too!
I love Art Journaling!
I do not usually like Prims but those colorful birds have my heart! But since I have to choose I would say Somerset Life is my favorite.
Oh my- I am a Somerset Studio gal all the way!!
I just love the Folk art Birds in Prims magazine, so I pick Prims this time.
Somerset Life would be my first choice, with all of those gorgeous colors! I love them all, though, so it is hard to choose….
Can’t wait to delve into the Somerset Life magazine!
Super excited to see the latest issue of Art Journaling. Many of my fav artists are being highlighted, like Mindy Lacefield and Nancy Lefko-yay!
I cannot live without the newest issue of Art Journaling! Thank you.
I cannot wait to see the Stamper’s Sampler! Love those stars – inspiring as tomorrow is Epiphany!
Deciding which ONE magazine I would like most is like asking which limb I’m most fond of, I want them all. Stamper’s Sampler is my go to magazine but the description of the contents in Art Journaling have me leaning in the direction this month.
I would love to get my hands on the January Prims magazine!
I love the variety of articles in Somerset Studio.
You just can’t go wrong!
I am so excited about the new issue of Art Journaling. Each issue has been more inspiring than I could have hoped. I’d love to win an issue of Art Journaling!
I would love the get the issue of Art Journaling!
Art Journaling – it looks gorgeous. I’ve been wanting to check Art Journaling out!
New camera, binoculars, guess I won’t need them to enjoy the lovely birds I saw in the preview I saw for Prims Janurary issues.
I already purchased the Stamper’s Sampler. I have to have it as soon as I see it.
So my new choice would be “Where Women Create Business”. I love seeing all the artist studios and reading the interviews.
I would love to investigate Somerset Life. I have not seen this on my newsstand or B&N. This really might be another Stampington magazine I’ll just have to have for all the creative inspiration and new how-tos so fun to share with friends.
You can always get the latest issue here: https://stampington.com/somerset-life
Oh Yes!, it would have to be the new Somerset Life issue! Such pretty and interesting creations are gettting me motivated! I can’t wait to get started!
Where Women Create Business!!!!
Art journaling for me!
Definately Somerset Journal and Somerset Life! HARD TO CHOOSE!
The new Mingle issue is a must-have! I love the idea of a bring your own cookies party, and the one about pie at sunrise. LOVE LOVE LOVE all your magazines!
I can’t wait to see crafters who provide inspiration on upcycling and salvaged findings. What a great way to see artist creating and yet still working with used gems.
I love to make cards. Love Stampers Sampler, & also Take Ten, which I didn’t see on the list.
Please pick me!
Love all your magazines but would love Somerset Life! Projects look wonderful! Also love Bella Grace! I have every issue and looking forward to the new issue in March! Thanks for the possibility of winning!
Can’t wait to feast my eyes on the new issue of Prims!
Would love Stampers sampler. I love birds, feed them daily, love artwork & all related to birds!
Am in CDA, winter birds in our front yard tree.
Somerset Life! I have so many saved. My favorite for sure.
I can’t wait to get my hands on Where Women Create Business…I’m visiting my daughter’s in the USA very soon from the UK, I can’t wait to stock up on my favourite Stampongton Magazines…informative, quality and so well crafted magazines.
loving that issue of Mingle..it’s not on my regular newstand where I get all my Somerset mags! Is there an Art Retreat featured in there????
This issue features the Six Breaths Art Retreat!
Those Folk Art Birds are calling my name,so the Prims Magazine would most definitely be my choice to win. Thanks for the chance…..
Somerset Life has taught me so many new tricks to add to my mixed media works. I look forward to my trip to the Bookstore magazine stand each month. I’ve never been disappointed.
Just bought Studios last night and I’m loving it, but Art Journaling looks great too
I love them all! If I have to pick just one of these I think it would be Somerset Studios, but Art Journaling and Prims are so close I’d be just as happy with them. :)
