Featuring Ali Edwards
Hello there! I hope you are all having a nice summer, I can't believe tomorrow is August already. July seemed to fly by while we stayed home for most of it.
I wanted to share my leather travel case with flask
I made using Ali Edwards kits and products with you. First up is a pocket page spread I made using the August Stories by the Month kit. I loved the mix of blues and greens and used the kit to document a really short 24 hour stay in San Francisco last year.
Next up is a full 9x12 layout that I made to slip into my pocket page album and I used the Roam Story Kit for this. I loved all of the embellishments in this kit and it will be perfect to add to my supplies for travel. The colors were gorgeous and I had fun playing with a stack of chipboard and banner strips down the left of my photo.
Lastly is a notebook spread I made using the July Digital Stories by the Month kit. I resized and recolored the journaling card on the right so the colors would match the fade on the left and I love how this turned out. The center image on the right lifts up and has another photo and my story.
I hope August is a great month for you and I'll be back to share some more things in the next few days.

FASHION + CUSTOM WHISKY STONES
We're fortunate enough to work across a wide variety of industries with our custom Whisky Stones.
When we launched Teroforma and created Nephrite whiskey stone
, we never imagined that we would one day, design custom products for a fashion brand. One of our favorite fashion custom projects was for Alexander Wang.
His team selected to customize our hand-blown crystal Ekke tumblers and black Whisky Stones. They were included in a larger collection of accessories for the brand, and we gotta say, we loved it!
As a bonus, we’ve had the chance to work with some of our favorite brands including Ted Baker London, JCrew and Vineyard Vines.
EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW, IS IT WHISKY OR WHISKEY?
Is it whisky or whiskey stone set
?
Good question. The correct way to refer to the infamous spirit of the British Isles is not always as clear as the contents of your favorite bottle. Rest assured, the spelling of both whisky and whiskey are correct. The distinction depends upon where the product is made.
Uisge beatha is old Gaelic for “water of life,” first produced in the region of modern day Ireland/Scotland in the Middle Ages. Borders back then were iffy, so it is honestly pretty unclear. What is more clear is that in the early 1700s, England became the first to regulate its production, anglicizing the term to whisky in the process. It was only in the 20th century that a spelling variation emerged, with Ireland and the USA opting for whiskey as a way to create a distinction simply for marketing purposes.
Today, whiskey (with an e) may be used as a collective term for any barrel aged fermented grain mash spirit as well as spirits specifically emanating from Ireland or USA. Whisky (without an e) should only be used to refer to spirits distilled in Scotland, Canada and Japan.
However, according to a decree made by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms in 1968, the official spelling for American-made whiskey is actually whisky.
As we all know, American’s are rebellious. Mavericks, even. So much so that some US distilleries continue to include an ‘e’ in their whisky as a nod to their more traditional roots.
Certainly, the debate about whether to include or exclude the ‘e’ in whisky will continue, as a post on the topic in the New York Times demonstrates.
In the end, who cares? To misquote Uncle Fred from the 80's classic Sixteen Candles: "you don't spell it, son, you [drink] it!"
Indeed. On the rocks, we hope, quite literally.
