“My Story” 6×8 Spread | Felicity Jane

June 26, 2020

So I’ve got yet another 6×8 spread in my Felicity Jane Scalloped Blush Note to Self binder to share with you all today. Funny story this one. This was supposed to be my FJ blog project for next week but I quite stupidly ruined the layout by ripping the background page while trying to glue the backside of it onto the backside of the previous page in my planner. I was hoping you wouldn’t see it in the photos, but alas you do, so I scrapped it for my project and decided to just share it here. I can’t have that going up on the FJ blog! The perfectionist in me would not allow it!

So a different “Note to Self” binder spread will go up on Tuesday.

But I still wanted to share the process for this one. I used pieces exclusively from the lovely Katherine kit for this spread and documented some photos I took of myself for my creative self portrait project that I really to get working on. I paired a simple 6×8 layout with a pocket page, very similar to how I did my Lizzie McGuire spread.

For the layout, I did a bit of mixed media, which really compromised my paper in the end. I used some mint acrylic paint and my favorite white acrylic ink. I added a few of the Katherine label stickers that are an add-on this month, sort of cascading them down the page. Then I added my photo on top of it all. I created a fun library card pocket out of that beautiful floral paper from the kit and tucked one of the library cards into it to house my journaling. It’s not quite hidden journaling, as you can still see a bit of it, but it’s hidden enough for my liking. I layered the pocket on top of my photo cluster and embellished around the entire thing with a few die cuts and puffy stickers.

For the pockets, I tucked my favorite outtakes from my little photoshoot into the pockets. I filled the rest of the pockets with various pattern papers from the Katherine kit. To embellish these pockets, I literally used almost every puffy sticker from the kit. I love adding the stickers on top of the pockets in order to reduce the bulk within the pockets that cause the plastic to warp.

I had a bit of fun with that pie chart puffy sticker. I cut out the little labels from the Grace kit branding paper and matched one to each section of the pie chart. On the labels, I wrote done one word that I think best described myself. I ended up only labeling three of the sections as labeling all five looked too cluttered. I absolutely love how it looks though. Gives the pockets another dimension.

Anyway, I had fun putting this spread together. Below is the process video I was able to film showing you how both the pocket page and layout came together. I really hope you enjoy!

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx

Documenting my One Little Word in my #unravelingjournal.

I love my word Heart for this year. If you've seen a particular Youtube video of mine, you would know why I chose it, but by documenting it in my journal and simply carrying it around with me I realized it contains multitudes!!! I love how I can visually document it so effortlessly since it's a symbol and a shape. I also embrace its many layers and meaning. I'm just in love with my word. She's a winner. xx
