THAT'S A WRAP I CHRISTMAS WEEK IN STORYLINE CHAPTERS

i love the thought of all my memories tucked in.

tucked in journals, notebooks, photo albums and scrapbooks.  add memory planners and storyline chapters to that list.  it is just a concept that i love.

here as i worked on the last few weeks of december and 2020 i marvel at so many things.  we are here.  2021 is knocking at the door.  so much has gone in this year and yet, here we are.  it was such a roller coaster year and for so many things i am grateful.  even the tough stuff i had to personally endure because i am stronger for it and proud of myself no doubt!

so much of my planner this year has been inspired by the great teachings of heidi swapp in her stop the blur class.  i have loved each and every month and i adore how with each spread there is a taste of her teachings.  and sprinkled within those the awesome printables.  i just love them so much!  adding in some of my most memorable photos and thoughts within these pages of the week leading up to christmas, what a treasured and important story to tell.  it all goes so quickly, doesn't it?

awhile back in stop the blur, i love how heidi talked about the idea of adding an interactive pocket.  such a great way to add in additional elements like tags, photos and more pieces of the story.  i love the versatility of this concept and how it can be altered in so many different ways.

stamping is another one of my favourite ways to start my stories.  fun captions and titles laid out in beautiful alpha stamps.  such a great way to serve as a prompt and intro, plus it also looks just fabulous too.  mix and match your stamps with different colors and types of inks is also another fun way to add an additional creative element to this simple technique.

this incredible way to document will be coming with me into 2021.  i cannot wait to see what lies ahead and i am so grateful to all that has been.  this year may not have looked like anything we have ever dreamed of it looking, but when i review all my pages of my storyline chapters memory planner...it was not that bad after all.  look for the bless in the mess, always.

here we go 2021.  so ready for you.

MEMORY DEX I STORYLINE STYLE

one of my favourite ways to spark creativity is to play with my memory dex.

no rules, just lots of inspiration and experimentation.

playing with collections, sifting through my ephemera jars...adding in uplifting quotes and valuable reminders.

there is just so much about the memory dex system to love.

and speaking of love. let's talk heidi swapp storyline chapters.

probably one of my biggest obsessions right now.

such an insanely gorgeous collection, creating these cards to add to my spinner was just what my heart and soul needed.

last week on the blog i used postcards from the art walk collection to create diy cards, but this time i thought to use the storyline chapters postcards and add them into my memory dex spinner.

using the memory dex dies i was able to easily transform them into perfectly sized memory dex cards.

i just love the "blues" in this one.

this card is probably one of my most favourites as it always makes me want to smile.  deep breaths right?! i also loved using elements from heidi swapp's stop the blur online planner class printable to this one.

have you started creating a memory dex spinner? i just love taking time every now and then to create and add to my collection.  

sometimes it is just what the soul needs.
