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 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

I shared a look at the January pages I made in my unraveling journal the other day on my new website tiffanyjulia.com. I've been working in this journal pretty much on the down low while I've been working on a new project. I quite like how some of these pages turned out. I'll share them all here in the coming days. xx
