artful memory planner

Finally, I had a free and sunny day to take pictures of my memory planner. I've decided to call it an "Artful Memory Planner" because it holds art, memories and my plans!

I have had the most fun ever working on this. It was very relaxing to cut tiny pieces of paper and patchwork them together like a quilt. I used mainly 6x6 paper pads and some embellishment papers I had around. Then I picked through my pink and black embellie bin and came up with some more goodies to add.

Click to enlarge and read journaling.

Here's how it looks in the album. I love all the gold! I'm going to add the word "focus" on the top left but I can't quite decide how. I'm thinking maybe white cursive word with a smattering of pink mist. Nothing that stands out too much.

At the bottom, it should read "1, 2, 3, 4 days and still sick." I don't know if anyone else will get that but I do so it's all good!! I used really old Heidi Grace rub-ons for that part and it was fun!

Here's the right side which is my favorite...

I added a picture of Caroline because she was beautiful that day. Bing Crosby is in there because I watched a documentary about him that day and it was so awesome, I thought about it for a week! My sister's birthday was the 22nd so I added that. I'm okay with there not being numbers on all the days. I really just intended for it to be pretty and help me remember the month.

Here's the left side....

I had a horrible couple of days so when I saw that "rain rain go away" paper, I was like "perfect!!!" Plus I had to include a photo of an adorable fish Caroline and I saw at Cheddar's.

Here's a super close up so you can see the texture...

The colors on this spread are so happy to me and I am so thrilled with how this turned out. I'm going to do a pocket page of favorite photos from the month and add it to the next page. I'll share that soon.

Hope you enjoyed seeing this but I won't know unless you tell me! :)
