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.

Love the stamps! I've been using a ton of florals and circular designs on my pages lately, so it'd be fun to have those type of designs in a stamp set :)

I'd like to see a schooly set but something a bit beyond the basic/standard US stuff- we don't say "Grade" in New Zealand we say year. And it'd be cool if it could work for home schoolers.

Ali, sure do like your stamps - I think your take on travel would be great in the future, but even more so is a set on "coastal life" or "coastal living". I have a very deep-rooted love of the ocean and the coast and I know you do as well and I think that you could come up with something very unique. Thank You so much for all of your inspiration.

I just love all things office and ephemera; library cards & stamps, lined paper, paper clips, old keys, metal findings, paper turns, etc.

Great idea for a club! I would like to see a set of circles made up of words. Maybe with the option of putting a large letter in the middle -- like a monogram but with words surrounding it.
