Bujo Update-January

I think I finally found the perfect planner solution for me. I wrote about it a few months ago, when I was just getting started and now I'm back with an update. 

Bullet Journaling has become my most favorite method for keeping track of my life. I think it's because it's 100% customized to me and what I want to record and keep track of. It's holding me accountable. It's keeping me on task. It's also just fun! 

I'm still going strong with my Leuchtturm Hardcover Dot. And even though inks tend to bleed through the paper, it's been the perfect solution to my planner conundrum. This, for me, works! 

Scroll down to see some of my "trackers". These are the little beauties that keep my on task. I'm not 100% when it comes to updating them all the time. But I try not to beat myself up about it too much. Progress is progress! And 2016 has already been a big year of progress.

For all of you scrapbookers, here's what I'm tracking:

• Class progress
• Creative team assignments
• Blog post ideas
• Layout ideas
• Social media
• Project progress
• Monthly blog posts
• Layout goals
• Maintenance/organization projects

I'll update again in the coming months. I'm only 1/3 of the way through the book so there will be plenty of updates in the future.

cheers & besos,

7th Anniversary

Well that passed quickly. Can't believe Matt and I just celebrated our 7 year anniversary! We actually marked the occasion this year, so I had to scrapbook it. We usually forget because the day we call our anniversary is right between both of our birthdays, so there's a lot of other celebrating going on.

The page was made with the Scrapbook Circle Start Fresh kit and the Shine Bright (sold out) add-on. I loved those big numbers! And I totally took advantage of them being transparent. I love them laid out on top of each other. It helps reinforce the idea of all of the years running together and of them building on top of each other.

Because so much was going on with the numbers, I kept the rest of the page very simple. Title, journaling, a single embellishment cluster and a bit of patterned paper in the corner to balance it all out.

I blogged about this, which introduces a new challenge, over on the Scrapbook Circle blog. You'll have to head that way to hear more about it. I'm so excited about the concept!

cheers & besos,

Wedding Mini

Last September, Matt and I were in Ohio for his little sister's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and a fun time! The whole family knows I'm the resident scrapbooker so I was teased about what I might do with all of the photos I was taking.

For Christmas, I put together a very quick and simple mini book for the couple. I had a ton of photos, but I opted to make the whole thing just about the two of them. It came together really quickly with the help of the Best Day Ever Class Kit from Big Picture Classes.
