Hello everyone, I sat down to make a quick layout in my traveler's notebook using this photo of my mom. My objective in this layout was to use up as much scrap paper from my scrap bucket as I could so I started by matching papers to the colors of my photo. I decided to create a cluster of doily, tag and a few stickers around the photo. Next, I added a sticker which replaced journaling in this layout and which pretty much captured my thoughts. I also found some washi which also felt like the right sentiment and which I placed along the bottom of the right hand side layout to close the slight gap there. I found a project life card that ended up being the title of my layout and which pretty much captured the sentiment of the piece. The other wonderful feature in this layout are the fussy cut flowers which I strategically (and painstakingly) placed on both pages. Here is the final layout :  an ode to my beautiful mom who always...

Hi everyone, I'm back today with my next layout in my TN memory Keeping Series. I am working in my DIY TN Inserts. If you are interested in making one yourself, check out my  tutorial   Today is an ode to my Fitbit Adventures :) In this layout I use mainly scrap patterned paper and layer with a acetate and washi tape. And pepper my white space with a whole lot of stickers and puffy hearts & stars. The puffy 'epic' expresses my emotions for my picture. Here is my whole layout :) To listen to the story behind my picture and to watch me make this layout, check out my process video  HERE Do you have a Fitbit? Whats your daily goal and how often do you smash it? Let me know in the comments below. I love hearing from you. xxAmira

Hello Crafty friends, I am starting my watercolor art journal 2018 series today! I chose to work in a traveler's notebook insert I made myself out of water color paper. If you want to make one yourself too and join in the adventure, check out the tutorial HERE . My color palette today is a combination of yellows, oranges and a touch of red. I also told myself that I was not allowed black and must leave white space.

I felt this represented my word for the year which is 'EVOLVE'. I really enjoyed this p...
