The 5-page article is an easy&nbsp;how-to (with lots of ideas, too) for those who want to delve into&nbsp;using Double Exposure apps on your mobile device, as well as using Adobe Photoshop\/Elements. The magazine is a piece of art with so much to learn, too, and am honored to have written for Stampington for over 10 years now. Grab it on newsstands, too. It makes a fabulous gift for a digital enthusiast.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fbx-link fbx-instance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cottagearts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1SOM-DIG1502_4-Somerset-Digital-Studio-Autumn-2015-600x600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cottagearts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1SOM-DIG1502_4-Somerset-Digital-Studio-Autumn-2015-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"1SOM-DIG1502_4-Somerset-Digital-Studio-Autumn-2015-600x600\" width=\"600\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cottagearts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1SOM-DIG1502_4-Somerset-Digital-Studio-Autumn-2015-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cottagearts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1SOM-DIG1502_4-Somerset-Digital-Studio-Autumn-2015-600x600-500x322.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the site, we are having our<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/whatsnew.html\">13th Annual Thanksgiving Sale<\/a><\/span>&nbsp;(new products 50% off, too).
