I would love to win Art Quilting Studio. I have already purchased Sew Somerset–always a grand treat! But I enjoy all of your publications, and already have Artists’ Cafe and The coloring Studio on my list. Oh, and then there’s Bella Grace! Such loveliness.
Would love to see the Somerset Gallery! The article on the Bird Finials looks interesting! All of them are great tho…and I just got my copy of the Coloring Studio, it is fabulous!
Take Ten is my favorite, but I’ve never seen a Stampington magazine that I didn’t like!
I have just recently found Stampington wonder. You have captured the beauty, whimzy and creative inspiration that beats in the heart of kindness and love and joy! Any issue would be a blessing and heal my tired soul. THANK YOU!!
I would really like to see the Art Quilting Studio. I just learned how to quilt and have so much more to learn. I’m very intrigued by the art quilts. I found an amazing art quilt in Somerset Studio’s Sept issue and need to learn more about these before I tackle one myself. So exciting!
Somerset Studio Gallery is my favorite, but all of the other sound wonderful….
I would love to learn more about mixed media! The somerset studio gallery sounds like to magazine book for me!
I am fascinated by the “new” Bella Grace magazine. I would love to devour this magazine. I’ve always loved the issues of the Sommerset Group.
Belle Armoire Jewelry
Sew Somerset! I SO wish this delightful magazine came out more often…it’s my favorite by far!
I would love to dive into Artist cafe, and stir the embers of my cold, gray inspiration. However, I couldn’t wait and ordered the coloring studio for myself as an early present.
Somerset Studio Gallery always has a wealth of rich ideas. Mahalo for the op to win.
I would love to get the Gallery. My fav!
The Coloring Studio looks quite interesting and fun. I also love Artists Cafe.
I would be thrilled to receive a copy of Sew Somerset!
This new Bella Grace issue looks amazing, between the “un-resolutions” and I always love the worksheets and prompts.
Summerset Studio Gallery is the one i would prefer this time. This however does change with what is highlighted in the different magazines you put out. There are so many amazing pieces of art in this one though.
Bella Grace looks beautiful but I can’t wait to see Somerset Gallery either!.
Hands down : Bella Grace!!!!
BELLA GRACE makes a wonder place to visit.
BELLA GRACE sounds so inviting to cozy up with for the coming months after Christmas. What a perfect way to spend my time recovering from a total knee replacement that is to happen this coming December 30th!!!
Keep up the FANTASTIC creativity you share in the New Year, my friends!

I would love to get my hands on Artists’ Cafe. It was really tough choosing between all of these great magazines.
I’d love to see inside a Coloring Studio magazine. I haven’t seen it on the stands yet, and guess I’ll just have to win one????
I enjoy all the articles in Art Quilting Studio so I would love to win this issue!
Belle Armoire Jewelry is on my list,,,TY
I love all of your magazines. Some in my stash are dated back to when you published Expressions and Inspiration. I’m 72 yrs now and have been collecting the mags since you started. I used to make primitive dolls for my little girls. Made them out of old fabrics that I mostly inherited. I hope to purchase the Prims Dec issue and would love to receive the Belle Armoire Jewelry magazine as a gift. I enjoy making jewelry also. My hands are arthritic now but I’m still chugging along like the Little Engine That Could heehee
Oh, the Coloring Studio looks like a fun addition to my art journaling artwork. Love to have this one!
I would absolutely be over the moon if I were to win a copy of Somerset Studio Gallery.
Recently purchased The Color Studio and can’t wait to for the holidays to be over so I’ll have more time to color and create using the fabulous ideas in this latest purchase!
How about the Artist Cafe? I like to get it at my local craft store. I LOVE it! Thanks!
Hi I love all your magazines but I would choose your newest CoLoring Studio, I can’t wait to see what is inside of it! Thank you for a chance to win….
Hello, Belle Armoire Jewelry is my choice—love the hummingbirds project.
I would LOVE to check out Somersert Studio! I receive the Digital Studio and LOVE it!
I love Bella Grace! The photographs are always beautiful. The articles are always inspirational and thought-provoking. It just inspires me to live a more creative life that’s focused on the beauty all around us.
I’d love Somerset Studio Gallery.
i can’t wait to get my hands on Sew. On of the things I want to focus on in 2016 is sewing more in my art journals. This publication always inspires me! Thank you or this fabulous offer.
