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.

My favorite tradition is driving around to look at lights with hot chocolate or coffee in hand (I'm not the driver, so I can enjoy my drink!). We're a military family, so it's always fun when we move and have new places to explore the lights.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses. My girlfriends and I have done them for 13 years in a row. Due to construction at our house, we will not get to do them this year :(. We will have to build villages next year to make up for it.

Weihnachten ist ein besonderes Fest, man trifft Familie und Freunde, wir hören Weihnachtslieder, singen mit. In der Adventzeit, dies ist sind 4 Wochen vor Weihnachten, schmücken wir das Haus, backen Plätzchen, Stollen und Lebkuchen... Gehen zum Weihnachtsmarkt oder verbringt die Zeit gemeinsam... Wenn es draussen schneit, dann geniessen wir die Zeit an der frischen Luft ;O)
Christmas is a special holiday, you see family or friends, you listen christmassongs or you are singing. 4 weeks for Christmas is here I live Advent, every sunday we make a candle ligth (at the end are 4 candle burning), your decor your house and the tree.

My favorite tradition used to be choosing & decorating a REAL tree, but now making a gingerbread house (from a kit - I don't bake it!) with the kids might be my favorite!
