I’m switching up the nomenclature for my pocket memory keeping, because it’s not just PL anymore. In fact, I hardly use any PL products these days, opting for a variety of different designers instead, and I love it.
The whole point of pocket memory keeping is that it’s flexible and easy, so I’m reflecting that in how I talk about it here.
I also want to get back into being a bit more consistent in sharing the products I use. If you see something and like it, chances are I’ll have linked to it at the end of the post.
And now, here’s a look at some family memories for January:
I’m loving my layered title page. Texture always adds interest, and doilies are the prettiest kind of texture you can get, IMO.
Watching Arty learn to write is completely magical. I’m preserving as many examples of his early script as I can.
I absolutely *love* writing directly onto photos. Printing them at home on matte paper makes that really easy. I just use the same fineliner I use for journalling.
Still obsessed with sequins. I don’t see that changing, ever…
Stitching onto paper is something I’ve tried in my art journal, but not done much of in my memory keeping. It’s fun, though, and I love the effect.
I generally keep Arty’s artworks in yearly folios (except for the ones that end up on the wall), but sometimes I include some in the scrapbook. I like the variety it adds, and I love that Arty gets to see his work take pride of place in the family albums.
I must remember to include more recipes in the scrapbooks too – it makes them even more time-capsule-y.
And that’s it! Yay!
