Ready for yet another amazing announcement?! So, if you didn’t know, I write songs. I’m probably have only talk about my songwriting maybe only one other time here on the blog and that was very long ago, so no worries if you forgot. My music is pretty sacred to me and not many people know about it because it’s just that precious to me and it’s the only form of…

hip kit club design team announcement!
Read moreSo, I’ve got some really exciting news to share! I’m on the new Hip Kit Club Design Team! Right?! I know! My six month run on the team starts in October and I couldn’t be any more excited (and a bit nervous) to begin! This is the first Design Team I’ve ever been apart of and it’s still kind of surreal that I’m even on it! I had been muddling…

cool for the summer / a mixtape
Read moreI felt it was time to share another mixtape. I wish I could post these more often, but I don’t really listen to music like I used to. But I think that is because I don’t know where to find great music anymore that isn’t from the 1980s. Anyway, this mix is filled with all sorts of modern pop music goodness that I’ve been listening to over the summer. Since summer…

my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: august
Read moreFor August, I used papers from the April 2015 Planner Society Kit. I had a lot of those papers left over because I had purchased an extra pack of them months ago and I just wanted to “kill” as many Planner Society kits as I possibly could since they’ve been piling up. I actually just canceled my subscription because of this very reason, so September’s kit will be my last…

scrap with love: a visual planner project
Read moreI’ve been thinking a lot about this ever expanding hobby of mine I like to call scrapbooking. Lately I’ve been feeling like I could be making more and that I’m not scrapbooking enough. I feel like I’m acquiring more product than I’m using up and I’m essentially becoming a paper hoarder. I also feel like I’m becoming somewhat of a planner hoarder as well. Tis the season for new collections and…

I intended to make mini art journals based on past Get Messy seasons throughout the year, but with my spur of the moment trip to Europe that didn’t quite happen.

my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: july
Read moreIn order to use up some of my past The Planner Society kits, I decided to use the September 2015 kit for my July pages in my memory planner. I was playing a bit of catch up while working on these pages as the first half of July was spent away on my recent Eurotrip. Using the September kit was a bit of a challenge much like the August kit…

my eurotrip 2016 travel journal
Read moreFor the first time in my wanderlusting life I’ve come home to a completed travel journal. Okay, so it wasn’t totally complete. I did have to finish up a bit of journaling, but other that a few pages of journaling, my journal was complete. If you’ve been following me long enough, you’d know that I’m an avid travel documenter. I like to document my travels, primarily in a travel scrapbook…
