Please join us in welcoming Ali Edwards to our STAMPtember™ feature! We are thrilled that Ali created a project for STAMPtember™ incorporating stamps from her line into a scrapbook layout. Stamps are versatile tools and allow us to express our creativity when preserving memories and photographs. Her unique style encourages us to tell the stories of our lives. Personally I find Ali's philosophies and approaches not only inspiring, but also motivating and uplifting. She is applauded in the scrapbooking industry for good reason. From AliEdwards.com: Ali’s passion resides in that very special place where the stories and images of life intersect. Designer, blogger, author, and mother of two, Ali is well known for capturing everyday life with photos and words and creating scrapbooks from those moments that often pass by in an instant.
“I started scrapbooking in 2002 as a way to organize all the stuff I collected after the birth of my son. It has become so much more than an organizational process for me. Through the techniques of photography and personal storytelling I have discovered my voice. My hope is that by sharing the stories of my life and the methods I use to document our days, others will feel inspired and encouraged to record their own.”
From Ali:
One of my favorite ways to use stamps is to create pattern backgrounds. For this page I used two of my stamp sets: Love This Memory and Life Circles. I stamped each circle individually so that they would overlap. Originally I thought I would stamp on the entire page but I changed my mind half-way through and decided to cover the bottom half with pattern paper.
I tell stories about real life. This one is about getting Simon off the bus after school on one particular day.
