Also, Hero Arts will also be giving away five prize packs that include brand new 2012 Catalog stamps. The five winners will be randomly chosen from ALL of the blog hop comments received by midnight PST on Monday, December 12, and will be announced on the Hero Arts blog shortly thereafter.
All the new stamps will be available on December 10th. Check out HeroArts.com for a store near you.
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE, WELCOME! Normally a process post like this would happen over on my Projects blog but since this one includes a giveaway it's happening here (and there's lots of December Daily goodness happening over there). If you'd like to learn more about my site check out my Welcome or About Ali pages.
Here's a look at a stamp I love from the new catalog and the one I'm using in my layout today:
Hello zig zag!
I decided to do a page that highlights some of the things I love about Anna right now.
Here's a look at my process:
I used the new Hero Arts Zig Zag stamp to create a pattern on my white cardstock with Jenni Bowlin Chewing Gum and Malted Milk inks. I didn't stress about making it perfect because I knew I would be adding content on top.
I started by adding a sticker border (Sassafras for Studio Calico) along the bottom - popping it up with foam dots.
I knew I wanted the title to read "Things I love" and I hoped it would fit in that space. Chipboard letters are American Crafts Goodness by Amy Tangerine.
Photo is 4x6 and was printed with a white border.
And yes, another one of those wood flags is popping up here. I love those things.
"Beautiful" is from a set of GCD Studios Melody Ross Soul Food Collection Chipboard Stickers.
For the journaling I used one of my Awakening 4x6 overlays. I opened it in Photoshop, added my text and printed on cardstock.
Along the bottom of the overlay I added a bit of washi tape (I think that came in a Studio Calico kit), her initials in those great little Lily Bee alphabet letter stickers, and an old metal arrow (I think from 7gypsies). Love those arrows. Someone should make those again.

What a great layout. My favorite holiday tradition is to meet with friends you haven't seen since last year.

We wait for the first snow (Kansas City, Missouri), then break open our 1st Snow Box which has been stocked with popcorn kernels to pop and a big Hershey's bar to share and watch Bing Cosby's White Christmas. We don't watch the movie (on tv or otherwise) until the first snow! (Then we date the lid of the box as to the first snow date of the year.)

I would have to say that my favorite Christmas tradition is driving around with friends to ooohh & ahhhh at all of the Christmas lights in nearby neighborhoods, then driving back to one of our homes for warm drinks, Christmas yummies and conversation. Also, I really love the page you made here - what a darling little girl you have! Thank you for sharing this.
