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 4x6.
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.

I would love to see something to do with adoption. And not just "Asian" adoption. There really is so very little out there (that is done well) for adoptive mothers. Also what is out there tends to be primarily asian inspired (as if the whole world only adopts from Asian countries *eye roll*)

How cool!
A few types stamps I would love to use: journal blocks, whimsical birds and butterflies and swirls, travel, hand-written Bible verses/faith phrases, a set to go with "one little word," and/or project 365-related stamps.

I'd love to see a set about loving the beach and the relaxation that comes with being at the shore.
I didn't think that I needed these sets but I used some at a CKC class and I am in love with the versatility and fun of using them. I've already bought two sets, so would really love to WIN !!!!

Love this layout.....I did one of my son up in a tree reading a book last year, he loves climbing trees and relaxing when he reads. My son is an avid reader, so exciting when they read.... I would love to see a stamp set around travel, school theme (elementary through high school) and maybe something for the December Daily.... Love your stamp sets..... Love all your stuff who am I kidding (LOL)

Hi Ali--love the August stamps for Summer they are really cool!
We have disney plans in the near future--so a set that maybe centered on the word "magic" or "magical" type theme--could be used for other things besides disney too.

I would really like something relating to siblings (specifically brother/sister) and their bond, their love, their silliness, their laughter, their journey together.
(I would also like anything with letters and circles!)

Love the layout, Ali! I always enjoy how you put together different patterned papers...inspiration for sure! As somone who doesn't have children, I stamps focused solely on kids aren't much use to me, so I really like to see stamps related to travel, or specific destination areas (like the ocean/beach/water)...and also agree with many others that I love your handwriting, so large words are great (like the set you did for CK a few years ago).

I would love to have some stamps with German words - ok, hard to sell in the USA. But I would be happy to use the English ones, too :-)

I would love a set that celebrates adult relationships - parents, grandparents, husbands/wives, etc.

these are wonderful! I love the September stamps - great for cards.
You are right on top of what is needed being such an active scrapper and family oriented person. Thanksgiving is coming up - what about thankful oriented?
