"Dixie's 3rd Birthday" Traveler's Notebook

My Dixie girl turned 3 last month. She's no longer a puppy! We didn't do much in the way of celebrating. Just made sure to give her lots of cuddles and a few extra treats. I also snapped a few photos of her in the cutest tinies party hat. She wasn't the biggest fan but she was a good sport.

My girl has her own dedicated traveler's notebook, so I documented these photos in it. I printed the photos as a grid and then added journaling tags and die cuts and pieces of patterned paper above and below the photos.

The embellishments are from the monthly kit and the Noteworthy Puffy Sticker sheet. And I used that awesome Hello stamp set plus some chalk ink (I think this ink pad is dunzo!) to stamp my title.

Supplies Used: May 2018 Monthly Kit, Hello Stamp, Noteworthy Puffy Stickers, Noteworthy 6x6 Paper Stack, Letter & Number Stickers-Light Pink

"Good Times" Scrapbook Layout

I spent a happy weekend in April in Austin, TX with my girls. It's where we all met! We, of course made the trek up to St. Ed's where we went to school. And we had to grab a photo in front of our iconic red door!

The red door and blue checkered floor (I mean seriously look how gorgeous that floor is!) were the jumping off point for this page. I pulled out red and blue accents and also made sure to incorporate ivory into the page.

I had this idea to use squares as a nesting spot for some embellishments. So I cut up a few sheets from the Noteworthy 6x6 paper stack and adhered die cuts from the monthly kit on top. Then I added some machine stitching for a bit of texture.

"Work Perks" 6x8 Pocket Page

Lately I'm just loving working in a 6x8 format. There's just something so scrumptious about this size! I created this double page spread in no time at all using the April 2018 Kit and extras.

Typically I stick to a 3 or 4 color, color scheme. But for this one I had fun with all the colors this kit had to offer! Red, blue, green, teal, yellow, purple! It helped that my photos were colorful.

The spread is all about a few perks of my job. The Top 3 Highlights journaling tag was perfect to use to document this story! It's just a small everyday story but I'm so happy its in my album.

The spread is just so bright and cheery and spring like. Even though its a page about work. Not everything has to be so literal. Which is something I have to remind myself all the time. I'm too literal a person!

Supplies Used: April 2018 Kit, Letter & Number Stickers - Light Gray, Everyday Goodness Stickers, Banner Stickers, Acrylic Stars, Yellow Puffy Alphabet Stickers, Adventure Puffy Stickers

"Family Walk" 9x12 Scrapbook Page

We have a weekly habit in our house of going on "family walks". Basically this means we both walk the dog together. And weekly...well that's a loose term. We use to go every week! But his work has been so crazy it's sadly become less frequent.

I still aim to capture this little ritual of ours as much as possible. Last summer we put Dixie in the car and headed off to a hike and bike trail not very far from our house. It was a beautiful blue sky day and all of the lovely blues in the April 2018 Kit were perfect to use to document it.

The background paper is from the new Noteworthy collection. Y'all, this collection is just so good! Get your hands on it while you can. I'm sure it will be flying off the shelves.

I used two of the 4x6 journaling tags from the April 2018 Kit as the mat for my photos. And although I didn't photograph it, the top card with the photos is a flip to hide my journaling. I have a class over at Big Picture Classes called Hidden Journaling if you're interested in learning more!

The rest of the page is all about layering and balancing a mix of circular and rectangular embellishments down the middle of the page. I used puffy stickers, die cuts, letter stickers, acrylic pieces and stickers to achieve the look.

Supplies Used: Noteworthy 12x12 Paper Collection, April 2018 Kit, Acrylic Stars, Adventure Acrylic, Adventure Puffy Stickers, Everyday Goodness Stickers, Letter & Number Stickers - Light Gray

"Funny Bunny" Traveler's Notebook

Hey there! It's been a minute, but I'm back on the traveler's notebook train. I just love this small size and all of its possibilities!

I blogged about this over on the Elle's Studio blog. You can read more about it here: A Stamped Traveler's Notebook Spread + Process Video with Jamie Leija.

I also put together a process video for this page which you can see below.
