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.

I am studying to become a teacher. Unfortunately it leaves less time for my arts. I would love to see something along the lines of 'Dream Big'. Something that encourages positive self talk, maybe?

Hi ali! Thanks for the awesome giveaway! How about a bicycle themed set of stamps? You know-some sayings journo blocks and then some awesome looking bicycle images! Would be great to have for "learning to ride" pages or even vintage pages with some older bicycle stamp designs. Have a fabulous weekend!

I love this layout with Simon, so perfect for a boy. He must love having that yard and trees to play in. Thank you for such a great giveaway also. I liked a lot of the other commenters wishes, dates, holiday, shapes especially circles, school. I'm sure anything you'd come up with would be great. Thanks

Birds are so popular right now. Have bird and owl punches and it would be fun to have some cute phrases to go with them.

I'd love to see a coffee themed set. Unless you've changed, I recall you enjoyed it as well (met you in Atlanta GA at your Week in a Life class and had a ball).
If that is to limited, maybe more like favorite things... ?

Love your stamp designs! I am always interested in seeing sports related captions, sayings or anything that can go along with sports pictures.

I would love to see tag stamps without any texts. I don't use English but another language when scrapbooking so a set of stamps without English words would be a big hit!

I'd love to see stamps with great words. Just single words like create, play, hooray, and other fun words. In really cool fonts...

I would really love to see pet themed stamps - most of those around seem too whimsical and not geared towards documenting the four-footed members of the family.
