Do you ever take the time to record the things that make you most happy? Whether in your traditional album, on a pocket page or in a mini album, these little bits of joy can be fun to document, and bring you joy just looking at them! Let’s take a look at how design team member Kristina Proffitt is doing just that in a traveler’s notebook spread, created using our May kit and extras!
Hey friends! It’s Kristina here and today I’m giving you a look inside of my traveler’s notebook, where I include things that I love. Today I’m using the May kit and extras to create a little spread about my love of taking pictures of the sky.
Anyone else a sky lover out there? I find myself so many times in a day (and night) looking at up at the sky, the clouds, the moon and the stars (I don’t look at the sun before well, that might hurt, ha!) I also love to take photos of sunrises and sunsets, storms rolling in and bright blue skies.
Supplies | May 2020 Kit, Icon Chipboard Stickers, Puffy Heart Stickers, Currently Icon Stamp, Love Is 6.5 x 8 Inch Paper Stack
The May Kit has so many great elements, perfect for telling the story of my photos and journaling. I knew that I had to use the really cute sun journaling tag in the kit and I punched out the heart die cut from the kit as well and adhered it onto the journaling card.
I used some of the striped rainbow paper from the Love Is 6.5 x 8 Inch Paper Stack and made it a mat around my first photo. Then I cut a strip of it and placed it along the top of the photo on the next page. I adhered one of the Icon Chipboard Stickers on top and stapled the patterned paper strip with my tiny attacher.
I then used the “all the details” journaling tag from the May Kit to include my journaling and stamped some really happy heart eye emoji icons from the Currently Icon Stamp. I trimmed the card to shorten it a bit and it worked out because I accidently got a big ol’ smudge of ink on the bottom of the card, too. It happens! I stamped the date on it, handwrote the location and then adhered a Puffy Heart Stickers to the bottom and put a little staple through that as well.
Lastly, I took the striped tag die cut from the May Kit and tucked it behind the journaling tag. I put a little Puffy Heart Sticker on top and put the “here comes the sun” die cut on the bottom of the page.
I love how simple this turned out, but yet how bright and joyful it is, too—just exactly the way the sky makes me feel!
I hope this inspires you to pull out your May kit and extras and start a mini album, layout, pocket page or traveler’s notebook about the things that you love! You’ll be glad that you did. Ok, I’m off to go snap a photo of the sky to add to my collection! It’s SO pretty here today! See ya!
