If you remember, my very first class with Big Picture Classes launched last month. It’s called Altered Book Art Journal and I teach you how to create a beautiful textured art journal from an old hardcover book. Well, I just wanted to share a quick flip through of my altered book art journal! Now, this book isn’t completely filled up, but I wanted to share a look at the types of…

on never growing up
Read moreI am a firm believer that we never truly “grow up” as people. Yes we get older and yes we take on more responsibilities, but does that mean we are really “grown up?” I guess being in my twenties, I’m forever stuck in that “you’re an adult now!” “no, not really” stage of my life. I’m not married nor do I have any kids of my own. I manage my own…

daphne’s diary memory planner: september + october
Read moreIt feels so good to finally be all caught up in my Daphne’s Diary memory planner!

But if I have everything printed and ready to go, the creative process of it is super easy,…

disney autograph book | the fairytale club
Read moreHey everyone. I’m back today with a fun project using the new “This is Halloween” kit from The Fairytale Club. This kit is a Halloween themed kit inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. I’m not a holiday person–I don’t celebrate any of them–so holiday themed kits tend to be a bit tricky for me to work with. But when I received my kit and unboxed it, it…

daphne’s diary memory planner: july + august
Read moreI finally sat down and caught up on my Daphne’s Diary memory planner. My trip to Europe this summer sort of threw me off a bit when I came to keeping up with this planner, but this past weekend I was able to sit down, reorganize myself and do a bit of scrapping!

a visual scrapbook: eurotrip 2016
Read moreBack in June 2016, I went on a trip to Italy, Spain and France. I spent a month traveling throughout Italy before heading to Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris. 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.

I absolutely love the colors of this kit and when looking through my planner, I decided to switch the binder to this lovely Kikki K because it matched so perfectly! So the very first thing I did was pull out all the light pastel bits from the…

aerialovely: the further evolution of aerialove
Read moreSo I finally did it. I bit the bullet and finally left ariestrash behind in the dust. Well, as best as I could, really… And I went back to the beginning. Remember when this blog used to be called “aerial love?” And I used to blog about love? The name has always been there, patiently waiting for me to accept it. It’s taken five years and some tweaking (damn you aerial acrobatics!),…
