my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: june

August 3, 2016

I really love how my June pages in my memory planner came out! As you know, I’m a bit behind in my memory planner because of the 6 week trip to Europe I did in June, but I managed to get the entire month of June done last week and it came out great! I used The Planner Society August 2015 kit with some bits from Crate Paper’s Poolside collection, which I found matched the kit perfectly. The Planner Society kits were relatively new when I got this August kit and I’ve found that the first few kits don’t have nearly as much product as the newer kits have. I really had to stretch this kit–which only came with 3 papers, compared to the newer ones that now come with 6–which is why I used pieces from the Poolside collection. I’m so glad I had the die cut ephemera pack and the stickers from Poolside. It really helped in filling out my spreads because August kit came with very little die cut embellishments!

Since I left for my trip on May 31st, I basically documented my month in Italy for June, cause that’s how I spent my June. I printed out all of my Instagram photos and used those for the month, which was nice because I only used the Instax photos I took while on my trip in my travel journal, so to have scrapped pages with these photos was really nice. So for this first week, I began the week with May 30th only because I wanted to fill the entire week properly. I also stopped May’s pages on the 29th, so I felt like I should continue the remaining days of that month in June. It just made sense to me to have the entire week in one place, even if it spanned two months.

I had so many photos this month! Especially for week two when I took too many photos in Venice. I wanted to use them all so I took one of the 4×6 pocket pages that came with the Heidi Swapp memory planner and used it in the middle of my spread to add those extra photos. I don’t normally like using the pocket pages because it reminds me too much of Project Life and that’s the system I left because we just weren’t getting along anymore. But I used the pocket page with six 2×2 pockets here, which fit my photos perfectly as I print them out 2×2 anyway. All I did was washi the old holes and punched new ones. I even went as far as embellishing the pockets a little, so that my photos wouldn’t seem so plain. The pocket page worked really well for this week; I really liked how it turned out.

I was so surprised how quickly the pages for this month came together. I thought I would really struggle with filling the pages because so little came in the August kit in terms of embellishments. I had a lot of the stickers because I purchased the Sticker Society kit as well that month, but most of the stickers were functionally stickers as oppose to decorative, so it was really difficult using them. The embellishments were also a bit on the functional and planning side, so there wasn’t a whole lot to choose from when decorating my spreads. Which is why the Poolside collection really came in handy to fill in those spots. What I also think helped was the fact that I had a lot of photos to fill in the pages. I did the entire month of June in one sit down and it probably took me about two hours.

Since June ended on a Thursday, I covered up the last page with Friday – Sunday on it with the scrap pieces of paper I had left over from the kit. I did manage to have a few strips left over, so I collaged them onto the page and used the page to add the rest of my photos from Rome. I really love how this came out; it really filled in the month. And again, I didn’t do my June gratitude because I like writing them at the end of each month to reflect on what I’m grateful for in that moment. So once that window passes I can’t really remember what I was grateful for in that moment and I don’t want to fabricate it just to fill in a page. So I left it blank and I’m fine with that.

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
