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 favourite holiday tradition is to make a triple recipe of a snack mix called "Nuts and Bolts". I buy the ingredients ahead of time. When both of my college aged children get home for a two week holiday break, they get busy in the kitchen mixing everything up. Lots of fun and laughter! Then we spend the rest of the break eating, and if there's any left, the kids take it back with them to share with friends.

I enjoy being with my family on Christmas Eve. We have our big meal that night and just enjoy sitting by the fire and being together. We've even been known to play a "crazy charades" game or two. :) Thanks for the giveaway and happy holidays!

My favorite holiday tradition is when it becomes Christmas at midnight- I love to sit with all of the lights off except for the tree. I sit and look at my tree with a glass of egg nog and just take it all in. Thank you for the chance to win!
