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.

GIVEAWAY
To celebrate this new launch I'm giving away a 6-month Studio AE by Technique Tuesday membership. To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below letting me know of a stamp theme or design you'd like to see from me in the future. Comments will be closed on Friday at 8pm with the winners posted shortly after.
I would like to see different sizes and fonts of numbers and geometric shapes to put them in. I also would like to see a set of background stamps - notepaper, grids, larger dots, checkerboard. Things with a bigger pattern to use on a 12 x12. You see plenty of these in a smaller pattern size for cards - a larger one for backgrounds on 12 x12 would be great.

Love your stamps, Ali, though they are quite hard to come by in Aus. Would love you to create a set about sibling relationships - brothers and sisters. Thanks

I love these new sets! I like anything you do. You have such a great loving attitude. I am sure that your ideas of future sets are better than anything I could think of! I am not trying to kiss up nor do I have low self esteem-this is just how I feel about you and your art. So, seasonal stamps with your lovely expressions would be nice for future sets.

Right now I'm loving the doily trend, and am always thinking that a doily set that you can mix and match pieces (e.g. change the centre design) in would be fantastic.

This is a lovely LO - I always forget about stitching for a while, and then see something like this that reminds me how cool it looks and I'll use it again. I'd love a stamp set that had family relationships (Mum (as well as Mom - for us non-USA'ians), Dad, Auntie, Grandma etc).

Hi Ali! I'd love to see more date stamps - always looking for creative ways to incorporate the date on my pages. Also, learning themed...but not cutesy for kids...more for "grown-up" learning - higher ed., and just life lessons.
