PEEK AT THE PROCESS | I knew three things for sure when I started the creative process for the layout featured above:
1. I wanted to use the photo of Simon reading in the tree and I wanted it to be bigger than 4×6.
2. I wanted to use the July 2010 stamp set.
3. I wanted to use elements from the Studio Calico September 2010 kit.
I started by cutting out the strip of numbers from the Jenni Bowlin pattern paper. At this point in the process I wasn’t too sure what the end layout design was going to look like but I had a general idea to use that number strip as an anchor along the bottom of the main content.
After stamping the Capture Life rectangle above on the cream cardstock I decided to repeat that basic shape using pattern papers (sometimes I just stamp and go for it). I love the technique of repetition.
To give the design a bit of variety I mixed up the height of the rectangles.
Each of the pattern paper rectangles was adhered to the cream cardstock. I added a bit of stitching around two of them. These rectangles would make great homes for additional embellishments if you were creating a page similar to this and wanted to add more.
As you might notice I ended up cutting out this whole area with the cream cardstock background and adhering it to white cardstock.
My initial plan was to have the chipboard title just along the top. I ended up adding “& Read A Book” towards the end of the process. Because that all happened at the end I trimmed some white cardstock off the top to make the margins between the edge of the chipboard letters and the cardstock even.
To complete the page I adhered it to the dark navy lined pattern paper and added zig zag stitching and a little bit of journaling.

Do you have any school based stamps? I do school memory books for my kids and maybe something along those lines? Also, what about something that would go with seasons — we love to play outside and I currently do not have may embellishments for when we take bike adventures or playing at the park.
Great page! I’d like to see some stamps about siblings, and a brother/sister relationship since I have a boy and girl.
I just love your layout! So perfect! And I adore your stamps!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Oh my, these are such great stamps!! I would love to see something with frames. That and something with trees!
I’d love to see Christmas stamps, but more specifically for the December daily series. I know you have the digital templates and it’s easy to print them out and use them, I just prefer to get a little more inky with my scrapbooking.
oh wow Ali! I’m crazy about those journaling rectangles. So perfect!
I love your mom and dad sets so much. How about a set for sister and brother?
I love this layout! I love that your son loves reading enough that he incorporates it into his play… That’s an extremely generous giveaway! I’d like to see travel stamps!
I’d love to see stamps related to the senses, touch, feel, hear, smell….just the basics in some varying heights of letters maybe? Sometimes on a layout I want a large word stamp and those are hard to find…
I would love to see an “athletic set” like running, biking, swimming words of encouragement, etc.
I love your layout!! And your site is just amazing! I am sure you are super excited about it, and so are we!
Would love to see a set of assorted gift tags — everyday, just because type.
How about an alphabet and number set? Or something more geometric – like circles with lovely Christmas words in it (similar to what is available from designer digitals in your line)? I love your stamps and all of your work! Thanks for always inspiring and the change to win!
I’d love to see some school based stamps too – not just for kids either – for my sister that just graduated with her MBA too!
I would love to see an older kids school set. Something appropriate for older elementary kids.
ooh! i’m already considering joining
as for other themes? Travel is always good for me, but a ‘love’ themed one would be nice too
What a great layout…I like everyday sayings, things that I could use on layouts for anyone in my family. Or maybe some sayings that would be themed for teenagers or school. I have most of your other sets and they are my go-to stamps for my layouts…love them!
Love the page and the card!!! Wow – great stamps – as always!! I’d love to see another “inspirational” sentiment set. Anything you do will be great – you’re full of great ideas
I like numbers and dates stamps. Also lined stamps for journaling.
I would like large journaling blocks or circles. Thanks!
I’d like to see numbers, journaling stamps, “you,” “us,” “love,” and “together” types of general stamps. Maybe an alphabet?
id love a date theme, reminicent of the 7gypseys stickers that are so useful, or a date wheel or mini calendars or a ticket image with the date written on…
Maybe you already have this, but I love “blank” journaling spots– just an outline even, or maybe just an outline with lines (no prompts or titles)
thanks for the giveaway!
I agreee with so many of the other posters, a set with numbers and squares and circles that they could nest in would be great. I see this as being useful for the December Daily and many others pages.
LOVE this new stamp club–definitely will have to join when I have the $$$$$. Or. . . I could win it!! I would love to see your take on tickets featuring your handwriting.
I always do one book that is our family and friends book for everything we did during the year for each year. Super Bowl parties, birthdays, girls escape. So anything that I could use from year to year. Thanks for all the inspiration you have given me and my friends!
I’d like to see a calendar set for 2011. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’d love to see a stamp with fairytale phrase like “And they lived happily ever after” or other common phrases. I think this would be cute and serve a variety of purposes. Quotes are always fun to use on stamp products because they are versatile.
LOVE your TT stamp sets. How about a theme of “for the love of coffee”? You could have phrases and coffee cups, mugs, latte cups (like from those famous coffee places!) Thanks for the chance to win!
So much to comment on this time. The photo of Simon in the tree reminds me of my son (almost 41) who used to always take his books up into the tree to read. And, I love your new stamp sets. Would love to have some for my birthday—which happens to be TODAY! So pick me, please, Ali!!
Like someone else has already mentioned I would like to see dates/time/clock theme stamps.
I would love to see a travel set…with a little airplane. Also, a stamp set that would mimic stitching, etc. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am digging that picture and it reminded me when I was little I would do that in an avocado tree we had in Dominican Republic.. hmm too bad my grandma didn’t take any pics of me she was too busy yelling at me to get down ha.. Love this layout.As far as a theme I’d love to see “things Kids say set” for those layouts that just need that Kid touch.
I love your new stamps!! I´d like to have a stamp set with beautiful journaling tags.
I love the idea of a big brother/little sister line. It is so hard to find stuff that says this.
I find all of the sets so versatile, which is what I love about them. I’d suggest something geared towards older children (cool, dude, etc.) or school focused (homework, learning, etc.).
Ali, this layout is lovely. Since I’ve got a three year old, I’m thinking a set all about growing and learning would be nice. Hybrid is my thing so maybe even a DD kit with this theme who be awesome. Thanks and have a great weekend!
This was a tough question! I love some of the answers that others have given – my favorite so far was the “slang phrases of today”. Now THAT would be cool!
i love those hello life stamps…….I would like to see different types of date stamps. I always data my layouts and it would be great if there was a set of stamps that could be mixed and match to do just that.
I just love your stamps Ali!
I would really like to see days of the week and months of the year stamps.
I also would love to see some hope & faith stamps!!!
I would love short phrases with fill in the blanks, like “I love you because _______”.
Hmm, how about an alpha with a twist? Like, each letter stamp could also include some other text, such as “is for” or a word beginning with that letter.
I love the detials on the layout! I could name a dozen different ideas I would love to see in stamps from you. The first 2 that came to me were Everyday Life phrases and baby/toddler girl phrases (such as pretty in pink, tomboy, pigtails, etc.)
Ali, I would love a school themed stamp set!! Esp. at this time of year!!
Super, super layout – just love it
Frankly I imagine I’d totally love any idea you came up with, Ali, but I’m really into little journaling spots right now – frames and such like – the ‘Hello Life’ set, for example!! I love frames with a simple word or words built in so I can pick the sentiment that goes with my journaling. And (as you can tell by the number of times I’ve used the word in this comment) I’d be particularly interested in a set of ‘love’ themed frames
I’d love more memory type quotes.
Love this layout and the stamps! My kiddos are my pups. I’d love to see some pet themed stamps.
I would love to see some travel stamps in your style…RV,Car, motorcycle…also running…Love all of the above…to see them in your style would be awesome !!!
I would love to see a travel stamps.
Great giveaway! I love this layout! I would love to see some vintage travel themed stamps.
I’m not sure if you’ve done this so far, but I’d love to have a set of “About Me” stamps. ‘I Am …’, ‘I Can …’, giving us words to describe and advocate ourselves. Not so much “I am Woman, hear me roar!” but more simplistic in giving ourselves allowance to speak of and describe ourselves.
Hope that makes sense!
