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.

THanks for the chance to win a membership.
I would like to see a set of stamps based on the words Listen and Mindful.
I have found that I need to listen to my world and myself more and would love to capture the idea of slowing down and being mindful of just how wonderful life is.
Thanks

I would second the pet suggestion. Also, something about growing up and becoming independent targeted toward layouts for pre-teen and teens. My son is just a couple of years older than Simon and is at the stage where he is ready to be independent but is still a little boy in lots of ways, too. It is very sweet.

As we LOVE to go camping (with our VW-bus) I would really like to have an AE Camping/Outdoor/Nature-themed stamp set (or perhaps a digital version). I am really missing such a set while scrapping our holiday pics right now... :) Thanks for all this wonderful inspiration here!

A set with all the days of the week would be nice! (I just love your handwriting.) Or maybe a stamp set of various sized/shaped journaling blocks would be neat too!
