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.

So excited for the new AE Designs stamp club! I was already a collector, so this club is perfect for me! I would like to see your take on sympathy stamps.....such a difficult subject, but so important. Thanks Ali!

You always seem to find inspiration in places I miss it like the Ikea catalog. I think some great sayings like that would be great for everyday cards. I love your style!

School themed stamps that would apply not only to grade school age, but also through high school. So hard to find things that apply to the older kids without looking "little kiddish". Thanks for the chance to win this.

I love, love this layout! Hmmm, a theme for you... I love everything you've done & you have so much at Designer Digitals. How about journaling prompts, like "I wish...", "I Dream....", etc. And maybe you have something like that, but it's hard to come up w/ new stuff (as I'm sure you know, lol). I also loved your journaling boxes for your Y+T class (Childhood Memory No. ___). You could use that theme for a lot of stuff.

Thanks!!!!

Oh Ali - I would LOVE LOVE LOVE some words, phrases and symbols that are geared for older kids and their time in life...high school, college, goal-setting, applications, interviews - the whole time in life when you are pushed to "put yourself out there"!
LOVE the first 3 sets...

Awesome stamps, Ali!
I'd love to see a stamp set dedicated to autism awareness. I know it is a subject we both are very keen on promoting.

Something to capture comparisons would be nice - something like "now" and "then"; "before" and "after", etc. Those could be used on a consistent basis like monthly or annual layouts, birthdays, etc.
Congrats on this new venture!

There are lots of positive feel-good word stamps out there already (joy, beauty, love, etc.), but I'm not sure I've seen too many products with words like perseverance, dedication, hard work, or focus... words to document a child's struggle/challenge with something and his eventual victory or overcoming of that thing. It could be with respect to learning to read, riding a bike, mastering his backhand in tennis, overcoming his shyness... lots of things. :)
