Morning Routine Scrapbook Layout | Studio AE October 2010 Stamps
Tags:
My Studio AE for Technique Tuesday membership stamps for October 2010 are some of my favorites. They are based on two of my digital products: Life Mini Line Stacks and You Mini Line Stacks.
Here's a closer look at this two-page spread. All supplies listed at end of post. Click any image to view larger.
and the other side:
And a little look at my process:
I started with the enlarged photo of Simon out in the morning fog. The photo and the piece of pattern paper are each approximately 8 inches x 10.5 inches.
Along each of the outer edges I adhered a strip of pattern paper that's about 1/8 inch wide x 10.5 inches tall. This came from the same sheet of pattern paper as the large area (great for using the pattern on the back).
Next I stamped two sentiments and a date on white cardstock.
Each of those stamped pieces is adhered to a bit of pattern paper and then finished off with a zig zag stitch.
Adhere tags on top of photos. Add a staple if you like a bit of metal. Add letter stickers, journaling, and just a bit of stitching along the outside edges.
If you're a member of Studio AE they just started a gallery for projects using these products. You can learn more about that here.

Great page Ali; I've taken your idea from album organization and have incorporated all sizes of pages into a 12x12 album. Love the ease of just this one change.

I bought some of these digitally a while back because I loved them so much. I remember thinking, "Man, I wish these were rubber stamps, too". Imagine my utter glee when i opened my TT box and found them inside!!! I actually gasped. Love 'em. Seriously, I love them.
Thanks for sharing these little glimpses of your family life, Ali. That's really what it's all about.

I kinda gasped when I got them too ;). I was really happy with how they turned out.

Love your layout! I love these pictures of you + your family when you're outside! Is someone taking these pictures with you in them or are you using a tripod? Thanks for all your inspiration!
Replies
I took these ones. In general I really like to use the timer on my camera and use that when I want to be in the photo too. We have a tripod but I don't use it regularly.

Love it Ali. I think it is so sweet that Anna sits with Simon and waits for the bus.
Love the LO

Looks great! Do you have trouble keeping those letter stickers on (as the page is bent from turning, etc.)? They look like rather thick stickers which look great, but I've had a hard time keeping those stickers in place. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The ones from American Crafts seem to be sticking just fine. I have some older ones from Heidi Swapp that have fallen off - I actually need to go back and fix those pages (on my list of things to do).

Love your layout Ali. I see some file folder tabs on your desk in the background of one of the photos. Can you tell me about those? I've been looking for some vintage or old 7 gypsies and haven't found. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Hi Susie - those are from 7gypsies. I was thinking that they were remaking them but can't seem to locate them quickly online. You can contact them via their website: http://www.sevengypsies.com/

Love this layout! Thanks for sharing your process. Do you have any tips for sewing on your pages?
Replies
Hi Juanita - my biggest tip is to just play :). Try stuff out, try different stitching widths, etc. I'm a totally imperfect sewing person - I like the messy look.
