I’ve been reconsidering a lot of things this month. I recently went through my entire craft space and purged A LOT of product that no longer brings me any joy or that I know I won’t find myself using anymore. I managed to get about three boxes full of product that I’ll be donating and giving away. There’s something refreshing about going through your stash, rediscovering new favorites and just…

some pages from my 2020 scraptherapy book
Read moreI just wanted to come on and share some pages from my 2020 scraptherapy book. I’ve been quietly working in this little book that I made some time ago. I actually shared a video on how I constructed this and my intentions for it, in case you missed it. It’s a little 5×7-ish book that I made from two pieces of chipboard covered in fabric and paper. The insides are…

free online art journaling courses + resources
Read moreIt’s kind of amazing how huge art journaling has become in the past few years. I remember discovering it back in 2013, when I found a couple of bloggers posting about their “Summer of Love” art journals. This lead me to Kara Haupt and Natty Malik and the Art Journaling Ning community. I think that now that the scrapbook community has embraced art journaling as its own, more people than…

my france + belgium 2020 travel journal
Read moreIt’s so nice to come home with an entire travel journal already finished! Mind you, I did have to finish up a bit of journaling when I got home, but for the most part, the entire journal was done while traveling! And I think this is my favorite travel journal yet. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I used a scrapbook collection, instead of…

a visual scrapbook: france + belgium 2020
Read moreSo I just returned from a small family vacation abroad. We spent our time primarily in Paris, but did a little overnight “day” trip to Brussels and Bruges in Belgium. I filmed a ton of little clips throughout my trip, and as per usual, have compiled them into another “visual scrapbook.” I really hope you enjoy.

a day in bruges, belgium
Read morebruges, belgium While my family and I were away in Paris, we decided to do a little overnight “day” trip to Brussels and Bruges in Belgium. I’m not going to talk much about Brussels though–because let’s be honest, it wasn’t my favorite–but I do want to gush about Bruges because it’s quite possibly one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. Getting to Bruges from Brussels is super…

pretty in pink: february 2020 printable
Read moreI did it! I created February’s printable in a day the day before it’s due to be February! I’m so pleased with myself (because I honestly thought I wouldn’t create a printable in time), that I’m going to treat myself to some scrappy bits I’ve had in my cart for the last month. This month’s printable is called Pretty in Pink. This printable is loosely based on a sticker I have…

france + belgium 2020 travel journal setup
Read moreI want to share with you my France and Belgium 2020 travel journal setup. I created a fabric cover junk journal–much like my unraveling journal–using the Maggie Holmes Heritage collection. I also used various vintage papers from my stash, as well as my Postcards from Paris printable. The cover was made using a white embroidered linen. I added some colorful flower embroidery to give it a bit more interest as…

my one little word | journal with me ✩ 39
Read moreFor the first spread in my unraveling journal this year, I documented my One Little Word–with four supporting words–and how they all relate to the intentions I’ve set for myself. For this spread, I used my new January printable, In Harmony. It happened to go really well with this floral pattern paper from Maggie Holmes’ Bloom collection. I threw in the black and white swan piece from my March 2019…

reflections on 2019 | journal with me ✩ 38
Read moreBefore I jump into 2020 in my unraveling journal, I wanted to wrap up 2019 with a reflections entry. I wanted to reflect back on my year and jot down some thoughts on what I’ve learned about myself. I decided to use the remaining bits of my December Winter Cottage printable for this spread, seeing how I I haven’t used it in this journal yet. Seeing bits from each of…

unraveling 2020
Read moreIt’s that lovely time of the year again where I sit down and work through Susannah Conway’s Unravel Your Year workbook and meditate on my intentions for the new year. It is also the time I settle on my One Little Word for the year by going through her Find Your Word companion workbook. This is my little new year ritual. I find these tools extremely helpful to me. They…
