There are several things that I’m learning about traveler’s notebooks as I’m using the first ones I created. They really are fun to use. I like having a place where scrapbooking meets journaling in a pretty relaxed way. I may be the only person that looks at my traveler’s notebooks, but I enjoy going back ever few days… Read More »
Participating in a month long layout a day challenge is really quite a challenge! I’m enjoying it immensely and I am loving all the scrapbooking that I’ve been doing.

I have only purchased one or two new fall stamp sets this year. I had purchased a couple sets last year that I didn’t use enough, so I decided that I didn’t need more fall sets until the ones I have got plenty of use.

Now that I’ve really gotten back into scrapbooking full swing, I decided that it’s time to beef up my stash of some items that I’ve never kept in my stash.

Have you tried digital images or digital products yet? I’ve become a huge fan of digital images.

I have been using my patterned paper stash like there is no tomorrow. I probably shouldn’t word it that way given that it is still 2020! I actually took yesterday off from all creative endeavors.
