With a new year just around the corner, I\u2019m looking forward to the next chapter. For me, that refers to a new semester as well as a new calendar year, and so I\u2019m documenting this moment with a photo of some of the books I\u2019ll be teaching in my upcoming college classes. The papers I\u2019m using are from a variety of collections, but mostly recent Simple Stories collections, especially Noteworthy<\/a><\/u> <\/strong>and My Story.<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I began the layout with 49 and Market Moonlit Garden, the B-side of Reflections Paper<\/a><\/strong>. I like the wallpaper-like background this provides for the photo and cut-apart cards I used from Simple Stories My Story Tags and Bookmark Elements paper<\/a><\/strong>. Because I do so much reading and writing, the sentiments on these tags perfectly captured the vibe of a cozy winter of doing what I love! \u201cThe Next Chapter\u201d card functions as a title for the page, and I used a blank tag along the top for my journaling.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Embellishing this page was fun. I started with the Simple Stories Noteworthy sticker book<\/a><\/strong>. This gave me big numbers for 1.24. I used \u201creturn\u201d as my period because after the winter break, I return to the classroom. I love the office supplies imagery in this collection, and for this project I chose the pencil, washi tape, reading glasses, and the rubber stamp stickers, using them in various places around my page. I also adhered the flower bouquet stickers in three areas to create one of several visual triangles. This also picked up the floral motif in my title block.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vicki Bouton\u2019s Discover + Create collection is full of wonderful images too, and I pulled in butterflies and colored pencils with the washi tape<\/a><\/strong>. For a playful touch, I clipped one of the acetate butterflies from the line above my journaling tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since the design of my page guides the eye in a diagonal from the lower left to the upper right, I reinforced that with a sprinkle of sequins (Tel Aviv from Catherine Pooler<\/a><\/strong>) along with some asterisks and older Simple Stories brads (Simple Vintage Berry Fields) from my stash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I hope this layout inspires your own stories of reading, journal-keeping, or hopes and dreams for the new year!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everyone, I\u2019m Jil Larson. I\u2019m excited to share my projects with you! I\u2019ve been scrapbooking and art journaling for many years now. I first started memory keeping when my nieces (now in their 20s) were little girls and I was looking for a way to tell stories about them and the art they created. From there, my love for this wonderful hobby grew and developed. As a life-long diary and notebook lover, I\u2019ve also recently been enjoying creative play in sketchbooks and journals.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
