You’ll also find thought-provoking reflections on an attendee’s experience at Squam, a soiree inspired by the lovable Shirley Temple, and a tween’s jewelry-making birthday party led by none other than Lisa Leonard.

I am interested in reading about the poetry journal in the Art Journaling.
I love the Art Journaling with the special feature of poetry journals..As a poet my eyes and heart went right to this offering. Would love to win this!
I would definitely love to check out those sweet fabric bracelets in Whimsical Wares from the lastest issue of Jewelry Affaire!
Anxious to read about the Desert Rose bracelet in Jewelry Affair. How unique and fun!
I saw the word “Palette”, then saw the color palette, and my little ears just perked up like a chihuahua’s at treat time. I’m always practicing palettes and this issue is a definite must-have. Would love to win a copy of this month’s Somerset Studio, and use the money I save to buy a different Stampington & Co publication!
I can’t wait to see the results of the designer challenge in Somerset Studio! Mahalo for the op to win a copy.
VERY HARD to choose JUST ONE!!!!!:? (I couldn’t get the pages to MAGNIFY!!! So it was HARD TO READ.:() BUT, I think SOMERSET STUDIO & making paper out of Milk Cartons sounds VERY INTERESTING!!!! I’ve been contemplating making my own paper!:)AND STAMPERS SAMPLER & the Classic Children’s Stories Reimagined sounds ENCHANTING!!!!!!:) I LOOOOOOOOVE Children’s Books/Stories!!!!!!!!!:)
“Brave Girls Club” in “Where Women Create Business” is what I’m most interested in reading!
I am looking forward to the new issue of Mingle and reading Madelyn Mulvaney’s article on her bohemian event.
The article about hammered spoon necklaces from Jewelry Affaire looks interesting.
What’s in Your Bag? really looks like fun. (Somerset Studio)
Boot bracelets! How intriguing!!!
Jewelry Affaire Summer 2013! Excited to read about the Sweet Desert Rose bracelets. They look adorable and, hopefully (fingers crossed) easy to make as I am new to jewelry making. I can see changing up the fabric with the seasons and keeping them in the rotation that way.
i am interested in reading about “Tall cards” in stamper’s sampler
Kristina Mouton’s bracelets in the July issue of Jewelry Affaire look so cute…I can’t wait to read that article.
Thanks for the discount!
Deb
Can’ wait to see the summer Art Journaling and the new installment of Art Journal at the speed of life!
love the business art!
I haven’t seen the new quarterly Stampers Sampler so that’s what I looked at – I’d LOVE to read more about the Halloween treat bags :)
Art Journaling looks amazing as always. I really want to read the artist portfolio on Roben Marie Smith-love her stuff!! Also, the summertime and poetry journals sound intriguing!
Gosh, it is a toss up between Somerset Studio & Art Journaling. I’d love to read the Renee Stien article from Art Journaling. Pinning both of them. :-)
I have a bit of a girl crush on Melody Ross. Her optimism and warm heart are contagious. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to receive the second publication of Where Women Creat BUSINESS! Can’t get too much Brave Girl!
Ha! Thank you for the laugh this morning. But hey, I don’t blame you – it’s easy to fall in love with Melody’s passion, talent and artistic eye! Thanks for the comment Carolyn. :)
I’m most looking forward to Sascha’s Poetry! I hope to win Art Journaling – thanks for the chance! They are all beautiful issues, as always!
Somerset Studio please, if my name is chosen! You got me with paper from milk cartons!
I adore the bracelets in the Jewelry Affaire issue! I am collecting and making bracelets just like these. Love the Desert Rose colors, they are my favorite. I cannot wait to read all about how they were made.
Oh my gosh! Where Women Create BUSINESS! If this isn’t a huge dream of mine! Dare I dream that I could bring it to fruition? Perhaps! I’d love to read this new magazine cover to cover! I love all of the artists featured and have taken classes from Anahata… what an awesome role model! And Melody Ross? Amazing! Thank you for the chance to win it!

I’m going to buy Where Women Create Business because I can’t wait to dive right in (and you provided the lovely $5 discount), but next on the list is Mingle – it looks fabulous, especially the retreat at Big Sur. I’m signed up for a retreat in CT this fall with Art-Is-You; it’s my third year with them, and it’s a great experience. I’d love to hear about others, and about mingling in different ways, too.
Kathleen from California
I’m excited about Where Women Create Business, as Tracy Porter is one of my favorite designers. Can’t wait to see that article!
The article about Farm Fresh in Stampers’ Sampler sounds intriguing. I’m always looking for ‘fresh’ ideas that are masculine in nature.
Wow so many great articles in the magazines for July. But I think I would have to pick your new publication, WWC Business as I have not seen it yet and I love Anahata Katkin’s creations. She has done an amazing job creating her brand and I am interested in how she did it. Thanks.
love the scrumptious, yummy colors of the palette. sooo summer!
I always look forward to Belle Armoire and all the inspirational fashions. Regal Rose is especially intriguing, looks almost Renaissance but with a frilly modern side. Brings out the romantic in me.
I love the Tall Cards feature in Stamper’s Sampler. I always seem to make my cards A2 size-what a great way to change them up a bit! Thanks for a chance to win!
Somerset Studio: Make the Leap to Art Journaling. Oh, how many times have I tried to keep an art journal. Perhaps this article will show me the way!
Stamper’s Sampler: Be still, my heart, when I saw the adorable Autumn treat bags. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I would have a blast making these for grandkids and friends! It was hard to decide between Belle Armoire and Stampers, but had to go with the cute this time…
I would love Jewelry Affaire for the adorable fabric bracelets and boot bracelets. Of course, I would be happy to win any of these summer editions.
I can’t wait to see the July/August issue of Somerset Studio! What most calls to me are the color palettes used on the sample pages. I also must read more about the “Riding In the Hood” project – it has a great look.
Mingle has inspired me to have a little get together and mingle with an old friend and a new friend met at a quilt show. We all purchased a dye kit at the show and have since planned a day “to dye for.” On the other hand, Art Journaling has inspired me to get back to creating stamps. After browsing a local “Big Lots” store in my area I discovered an entire box of small erasers for $1.00. I cannot wait to begin the creative process. Thanks for always inspiring me regardless of which publication I pick up.
All these issues look lovely. I always enjoy them, especially Somerset Living and Belle Armoire, but of this new crop I’m most strongly drawn to Jewelry Affaire, especially the fabric bracelets as well as the ocean-inspired blue pieces. I already feel inspired!
I would love to read more about the Squam experience and Madelyn’s article!!!
The color palette article in Art Journaling and the art look amazing. I am in love with this idea and would like to learn more. I’d be grateful for any opportunity to win any magazine!! Thank you!
love the fabric bracelets! Want to see more!
Would like to see the summer Art Journaling and the new installment of Art Journal at the speed of life!
Hugs, Frances R
I would like to read the Eco-print article in Somerset Studios! I attempted my first recycled styrofoam monoprint cards last year!
I must share the Savage Millinery article with my friend that made me a hat, I can’t wait to read the Regal Rose article and bark cuff bracelets must be good – anytime you can make something of nothing is brilliant, so Belle Armoire it is – well except how do you resist the Wildflower Picnic in Somerset Life?
The article on making bracelets from birch bark interests me.
Would love to go through Somerset Studio. Need a dose of inspiration and it always gave me energy to start a new project!
I can not wait to get my hands on Where Women Create Business Summer 2013. I fell in love with Hello Soul. Hello Business. in the winter 2013 issue and on page 8 of the current issue is more tips on how to run your businees the soulful way. Thank you for the opportunity of winning one of your magazines as they are all special!
The latest issue of “Art Journaling” almost makes me
get in the car immediately and drive 22 miles so I
can have it in my hot little hands immediately.
Nothing like instant gratification. I can tell it’s
just loaded with lots and lots of ideas and inspiration! Thank You.
I would like to read about the “cowgirl camp-out” in
Mingle….looks so fun…..or Belle Amour–everything in it is fantastic!
So looking forward to Where Women Create Business! I have my own business and am always hungry for business advice and encouragement from industry leaders.
Like the bracelets – am looking forward to reading about them
I look forward to all of them
I’m looking forward to Somerset Studio & the article about crafting with cardboard.
All of these issues look delicious, which makes it difficult to pick just one! However, I am choosing “Somerset Life” because I love the beautiful ideas for incorporating artfulness into everyday life.
Would love to read about the Poetry Journals in the new issue of Art Journaling.
Jewelry Affaire– Sweet Desert Rose, Spoon necklaces, Paris? Ooh La La! Make this one mine, please!
There are several articles in Somerset Studios I’d enjoy reading. It would be great to win it too!
Art Journaling. Would love that one.
I’m looking forward to all the amazing information in Where Woman Create BUSINESS. Especially finding out about the Brave Girl’s Club and how to “find my who” :)
Red Riding Hood and the Wolf are beyond cool. So very archetypal.
Hard to choose!
The photos from Belle Armoire are breathtaking! They really speak to my romantic soul!
Can’t wait to read Art Journaling…cover to cover! :-)
Love the Sweet Desert Rose bracelets from Jewelry Affaire – must make some lovely summery adornments!
Belle Armoire Summer 2013 Regal Rose
I’m a fan of Roben-Marie Smith – Art Journaling!
Can’t wait to look through the article about Sarah Clemens in Belle Armoire! Though everything in there sounds gorgeous!
Really love Jewelry Affaire and the desert rose bracelets !! Looks like fun !! I also love Belle Amore Jewelry magazine I already have a great selection of old issues that I read and reread ! I get a lot of inspiration from this magazine ! I hope I win !!
Really love the Jewelery Affaire Mag extracts especially the hammered spoon necklaces and the creative calm necklace looks amazing too – would love to see it all IRL
Somerset Studio’s article about making paper sounds intriguing!
I’m a fan of Artful Blogging.
I love the new Where Women Create Business magazine. I’d love to take the Brave Girl retreat one of these days and would like to read that article to learn more about Melody Ross and her vision and how she created such an awesome and inspiring retreat for women.
Would love to read more about “Playing with Cardboard” in “Somerset Studio.”
I love the bangle bracelets featured on the cover of Jewelry Affaire – so much I rushed out and picked up a copy. Drove 40 miles to get it and now I’ve marked several pages for my creative days in the studio. Love the necklace using netting from the fruit section of the grocery store!
Where Women Create:
I can hardly wait to read about the Marburger Farm Antique Show and also the article on Marion Cardwell-Ferrer. I love the bright colors in her studio.
I usually buy my copy of at Hobby Lobby and will have to wait until next week to get my issue.
