Happy New Year! Hi friends, it’s Jess here and I am excited to show you how I am bringing my crafty new year’s goals to life this year. Crafty goals are a thing, right? Have a look:
Supplies: | Simple Stories Happy Hearts collection; Elles Studio Tiny Shapes and Dots puffy stickers; Ali Edwards number stickers; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Remington Noiseless Font
Using the Simple Stories Happy Hearts collection, I created this double page, 6 x 8 inch layout using cardstock stickers and patterned paper to create a bright, bold list documenting five things I love in my life right now. In 2022, I am eager to incorporate more everyday details on my page as well as to include more pictures of myself in my scrapbooks.
I adored the “heart” cardstock sticker and decided to use it to create a title for my love list journaling. I wrote down my current favourites list by typing journaling in Photoshop Elements, leaving a 2” by 8” column in the centre to create space for bullet points. On this page, instead of bullet points, I decided to use number stickers from Ali Edwards and puffy hearts from Elle’s Studio instead.
I also loved the floral of the Simple Stories patterned paper, so I decided to print my journaling on vellum, allowing it to show through. I used left over turquoise labels for pops of colour and music note hearts to create a visual triangle around the page. I just love the soft, ethereal feel of this page.
Cardstock stickers can be used as a great jumping off point for your pages, whether they inspire the title or journaling. A quick and simple page, I hope this simple story idea inspires you to write your current favourites list right now, or to take more selfies this year. Thanks so much for reading! Happy 2022!
Gorgeous layouts and great ideas.
Thanks for the great idea. Love how you made your thoughts about what you are doing important by creating this layout. Love it.
