I have a new obsession and it goes by the name of Daphne’s Diary. It’s a crafty lifestyle magazine from The Netherlands and it’s amazing. I haven’t been this in love with a magazine since my discovery of Frankie Magazine back in 2014. It’s just so beautiful. If there’s any publication out there that simply embodies what I’m loving right now, it’s Daphne’s Diary. From the French pastel vintage aesthetic…

Or it could be that your process isn’t working for you anymore–it happens–and you’re at a lost at what to do next? I’m currently in one of these ruts.

This month’s theme is Style and as such, I have asked everyone to explore their personal style–if they have one–and the styles that have influenced them…

A6 traveler’s notebook junk journals | hip kit club
Read moreHey friends! I’m here with another traveler’s notebook project using the February Hip Kits! For this one though, I decided to make these two “junk” journals for my A6 traveler’s notebook to use as personal journals and/or art journals. I just wanted a cute journal to document my everyday that wouldn’t involve too much work in order to document. I figure having a sound base already done would be great, so…

december daily 2016 album | hip kit club
Read moreHey everyone! I’m back today to share with you my completed December Daily 2016 album. This was the first time I have ever done a December Daily. I don’t celebrate the holidays, so I always thought that keeping a December Daily just wouldn’t be for me since it’s supposed to be a project to document your Christmas holiday. But, seeing how I was on the Hip Kit Club team this…

dream layout | hip kit club
Read moreHappy Thursday friends! I’m here with a layout using the January Hip Kit Club Kits! I started it out with a sheet of the white American Crafts textured cardstock and the pink branding strip from the Pink Paislee Moonstruck paper.

january hobonichi art journal pages
Read moreI just wanted to share with you my January Hobonichi art journal pages! A creative intention of mine this year is to keep a daily art journal and using my A6 Hobonichi has been helping me keep on track. I will say though that art journaling each day is really hard. I’ve been finding it difficult to journal each day that sometimes I have to catch up on two or…

Read moreHello everyone! I’m here with a project using the January Hip Kit Club Kits! I decided to make a little traveler’s notebook minibook about my best friend and I, and use it to document all of our travels that have happened and our travels that will happen. I only documented on the first four pages. There were a few other photos I wanted to add as well, but I also…

my favorite things album
Read moreThis year I’m keeping a my favorite things album for myself. Since joining the Hip Kit Club design team, I’ve been doing a few Project Life spreads in my 2015 album, which I never completed. Since I have to do spreads for certain assignments, I decided to work in that album so I at least complete the pages that I actually had photos printed. I sort of got a bit…

“all smiles” faux project life spread | hip kit club
Read moreHey everyone! I’m here with a project using my December Hip Kit Club Kits. This is another one of those Project Life spreads in my 12×12 spiral scrapbook. I’ve taken a liking to doing my Project Life spreads this way and honestly don’t miss the pocket pages at all. I don’t know what it is, but I have a seriously aversion to the pocket pages when it comes to a Project Life…

free art journaling classes + resources
Read moreIt’s kind of amazing how huge art journaling has become in the past year. 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 ever…
