my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: april

May 8, 2016

aprilwk3d

The month of April in my Heidi Swapp memory planner is interesting. For all the weekly spreads, I used mostly my November Planner Society kit. I used up the entire kit for this month, give or take a few stickers I have left, and I really love it! I’ve been struggling with using up my kits, but I think I’ve finally figured out how I’m going to use up my Planner Society kits. I think each month is going to be decorated with a different kit. I have tons of other products that I like to decorate with, such as Heidi Swapp’s own memory planner line that I decorated March with, but this would be a great to use up my Planner Society kits, especially the papers, as they are beginning to pile up.


The first week of April began on a Friday, so I just covered up the entire left side with paper and printed a bigger photo of the April Love 2016 challenge from Susannah Conway to place there. I documented the start of the week on the other side, which wasn’t really much since it was just the weekend.


This is the first full week of April. I continued using the November kit and I really struggled with adding all of my photos into this week! I had a lot more photos than usual, because I wanted to add in photos of my April Love art journaling pages, as well as everyday photos I took that same week. But I think I managed to lay them out in a way that works.




I also had too many photos for this week. This was my birthday weeks and while I didn’t add any April Love art journaling spread photos, I still had a lot of photos of just my everyday life and my weekend with my friends! So I added a card from one of my Planner Society kits and added the remaining photos that didn’t fit in my spread, but that I wanted to add, on the back of it and hole punched it in so it sits in the middle of the spread.


I continued using the November kit for this week and again, I had quite a bit of photos that I wanted to include in this week’s spread. Not nearly as many as the last week, but still a handful that I has to strategically collage them on the page. I ended up using a lot of the stickers from the kit, just to connect each photo, so they whole thing would look a bit more cohesive.


This last week was a bit of a challenge. I didn’t have as many photos as the previous weeks and I was working with whatever I had left over from my November Planner Society kit. But even so, I think the spread came out great. I managed to use up all of my November papers and most of the stickers and embellishments, even though I still have a fair few of them left. It felt really good to “kill a kit” as scrappers would say.

In all, I’m quite happy with how April turned out! Again, I’ve realized that I like using a whole kit for the whole month. It works to keep the month cohesive and it helps to use up my kits! I think for May I’m going to chose one of my unused Planner Society kits and use it for the entire month. I think going forward that is how I’m going to use up my kits. Anyway, I filmed a little flip through of my spreads from March to April. Watch it below and I hope you enjoy!

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
