smile + dream magic kingdom layout | hip kit club

November 4, 2016
magicdt

I’m back with another layout I did for Hip Kit Club. For this layout I used a photo my brother took of my mother and I standing in front of Cinderella’s Castle at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. My challenge for this layout was to maximize pattern papers, so I tried my hardest to use as many of the pattern papers from the kit on my layout as I could. What I ended up doing was taking a bunch of little scraps from some of the previous projects that I had left over from the kits and used a 1 inch circle punch to punch out a bunch of circles. I wanted to do a fun little background with them, but ended up layering them sort of like a mermaid fishtail scale coming out from behind my photo.

Before I did that though, I took my watercolors and added a few paint splatters all over the white cardstock, because I wanted a bit of pastel splatters to peek out from behind everything. I then matted my photo on the light pink cardstock and place it a bit off-center (to cover up some unwanted splatters on the page), which left me to build my scale so that it moved up and to the right, as if it were coming from behind my photo and fading out diagonally.

My layout basically grew out from there. I placed a white doily from my stash behind the photo, so that it poked out at the top and bottom. I also used one of those pearly white leaf thickers from the Paige Evans Take Me Away collection to sort of frame those circles on the right. On the left side, I used a ticket piece from the Dear Lizzy Saturday ephemera pack, cut it in two and stuck them behind the photo, so they peeked out. I then place the butterfly chipboard piece from the Simple Stories Posh line a little bit over them and the photo. I used an arrow piece from the same line to frame the photo on the bottom, then began to play around with my title.

I knew before I started this layout that I wanted to use the “dream” chipboard piece as part of the title. I played around with a bunch of the other phrase pieces from the kits before settling on “smile” and “dream.” I also messed around with the placing of them as well, before I settled on the “smile” being on the top left and the “dream” being on the bottom right. I then placed a few hearts on the page, a few from the Take Me Away thickers and two pink ones from the Posh chipboard.

I still felt like my layout was a bit empty. Because I placed the photo off-centered, the whole layout seemed unbalanced. What I ended up doing was trimming a bit of the white cardstock from the right side and adding two strips of paper to the left. I used the light pink cardstock and a darker pink paper, layering them on top of each other to make it a bit more interesting trim. Yet, I still felt like the layout was missing something, especially with all the white space on the top. So I took my hole punch–just one of those regular hole punches that I use to punch the holes to stick things into my planners–and punched out these little confetti circle pieces from all the pattern papers, so that I could sprinkle them about the page. I ended up covering the top half of the page with these little circles and leaving the bottom right side white. Under the “dream” I did my journaling and that’s it. Be sure to check out my process in the video down below and I hope you enjoy!

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
