Memory Planning with Guest Designer, Jennie McGarvey!

As we’ve all experienced, daily life can get busy. That sometimes means that we have to put aside our creative time for “real life” activities like cooking dinner or working overtime to finish a project in the office. For those of us who have to have a planner to keep our life on track, but find that our time to create layouts is lacking, memory planning can be the key to getting the best of both worlds! This hybrid papercraft form puts journaling, photos and memorabilia in our planner pages, and our guest designer for January, the lovely Jennie McGarvey, is with us to share her memory planner pages from Christmas, using the ‘Tis the Season collection.

Hello! I am so excited to share with you the week of Christmas in my memory planner. My memory planner is where I combine planning in my Happy Planner® with memory keeping. I plan out our activities and appointments, plus add photos and other embellishments. It really combines the best of both worlds and I love the end result!

In addition to adding stickers and stamping to the planner pages, I also include pocket pages complete with decorative tags, such as the Double-Sided Journaling Tags from the ‘Tis the Season collection. I love the beautiful designs, and layering the various die cuts from the Tis the Season Bits and Pieces, washi tape, as well as the Tis the Season Puffy Stickers on top creates texture and fun!

My name is Jennie McGarvey and I feel like I’ve been papercrafting forever! I guess, I have been in one way or another since I was 12.
I’m mom to 3 boys and an avid scrapbooker + planner who loves color, stamping and clean lines. Be sure to follow my YouTube channel for planner inspiration!
