happy new year! i was having a moment at the beginning of this year, uncertain if i wanted to continue documenting in this way. while i was super proud of myself for committing to scrapbooking once a week for a whole year, i also wanted to free myself up a little bit. after making some non-scrapbook related work, i realized i needed that format too. i’ve come to view my weekly recaps as gratitude journals, moments of mindfulness, and an excellent way to document my creative process.

products used: this day in december journaling cards

this may be my first ever all 4×6 spread. i always have a hard time with it but this time it was the only solution. simple recap of the end of december and a quote from a friend were my simple way of documenting the holidays.

for the last page of my 2014 album, i created a watercolor moon to journal on. i used numbers as a form of recap, as it was an easy way to string together all things that happened. for my 2015 cover page, i used a simple cutout from a madewell catalogue and a transparency floating on top.

products used: pictures and words no. 10 and let’s go papers

for the first few days of january nothing much happened so i used the opportunity to jot down my intentions for the year. the raindrops are one of my favorite patterns, so i made them translucent and printed them on the cloud paper before running the paper through the printer once again for the intentions list.  i used a sabrina ward harrison page that says new york on the left, and a sticker from elise’s latest release on the right. the photo of the shadow is one i took when i first moved to williamsburg (almost six years ago!!) and i liked the idea of using it here because i suspect this may be the year i leave new york city.

products used: let’s go papers

had a really fun week here. we’ve been super into my new tarot deck and have been doing readings on friday nights. i made a connection with a new healer that really inspired me and caused a subtle shift in me with a little palo santo and love. her logo is awesome so i included her business card. the circle mirror is from her office, where i couldn’t resist a self portrait. i chose the heart pattern for this spread because of all the heart healing going on. lastly, i’ve been listening to the postal service a lot, but with my headphones which sound SO MUCH better than my laptop speakers. so that had to go in the book!

products used: brightside elements

this week i was really in the zone with my paintings. feels good to accomplish a lot after feeling blocked for so long. that’s why i chose the #freshstart to tuck in between the paintbrushes. i finally taught myself to screen print, so those guys got a full page. a little recap of the week and the photo of chloe under the covers add a little bit of an everyday vibe.

thanks for checking out my pages everyone! hope your new year is starting off with good vibes.
