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.

To be honest, I still feel intimidated by stamping techniques. Maybe if I happen to win this, I'll be inspired to really learn more and become more comfortable with this style - love your stamps, but I wish I knew how to use them so the design still looks polished and well put together.

I was just using a bunch of your stamps today as I'm finally finishing up my week to remember (yikes!). I'd love to see a set of stamps focused on "work" (8-5, coffee break, lunchtime!, computer trouble, meetings meetings meetings, etc).

I would love to see a December Daily Stamp Set to use. I love hybrid but I think it would move faster (for me anyways) with stamps I could just ink, stamp, and go! Thanks!

I'd love to see a birthday stamp set. I really struggle with birthday cards and layouts and I think an Ali Edwards bday stamp set would help me with that a ton! It would be fun to see what you come up with.

I'm a cardmaker, so I would love some large sentiments in your handwriting. I would also like more stamp sentiments geared toward your spouse (more than just I love you). I would also love text for the insides of cards.
Good luck in this cool venture!

Your layout reminded me of the day I watched my daughter try to ride her bike while reading a book because she wanted to enjoy the warm weather and read...to bad I didn't have a "scrapper's" foresight then.
I would love to see some type of Encouragement (hang in there, thinking of you, etc.) type sentiments and stamps for card making. Thanks for the awesome give away!

Like your layouts such an inspiration. Like to see more stamps with cardmaking for adults and kids. I always seem to be making birthday cards at the last minute.

What a great giveaway!
I love anything journaling block/date stamp related, but I would also like to see more of this with a Christmas/Holiday theme. I make a lot of cards, and I'd love to have some of your handwriting for card sentiments for the holidays!

Really, anything in your handwriting would be great, but I'd like to see a wine/winery inspired set and a little princess puppy set (no fire hydrants or doghouses need apply)

Ali I love all of your stamps! I'm sure my little man would be tickled to see an outer space themed set in the future. It's a little kiddish but maybe a little educational as well. ;)
