Memory keeping in 2023

 Hello friends, I have made some changes in my memory keeping for 2023 and wanted to write a bit more about my plans here. I shared a hint on my Instagram account back in October.

After 6+ years of pocket pages, I needed to shake things up and decided to work in a Quarter A5 Journal from Everyday Explorers (and to take a break from my Elle's Studio DT).

Supplies: Journal, alphabet stickers and stamps from Everyday Explorers Co., 

labels from Elle's Studio, stickers from Daiso, Ali Express and Paper Treats Shop

I had several goals for this change and after a few weeks of documenting this way, I already see them happening:

- simply reduce the space taken by my memory keeping: journals are way smaller than ring albums

- less importance on dates and more emphasis on journaling

- more freedom (by getting out of the pockets)

- a less formulaic approach to renew my creativity

- play with different products (I have a new obsession for stickers, especially japanese and taiwanese)

- find new inspiration

label from Elle's Studio, stickers from Daiso and Ali Express, patterned paper from Heidi Swapp

I am loving it so far!

You will still see pocket pages from time to time (since I've got so much to finish in those past albums!) and other projects will show up (like all my Mini Book Makers Club kits) but this journal will be my everyday memory keeping for whatever happens in 2023. I hope you will continue to follow me on this journey. 

Are you shaking things up as well this year? Are you changing format? Let me know in the comment!

K-Dramas | Everyday Explorers Co.

For this first Everyday Explorers project I used their newly released Currently Seals stamp set to document my current obsession with Korean dramas:

In addition to the Currently Seals stamp set, I used papers and stickers from The Avenue collection by Jen Hadfield and puffy hearts and alphabets from Elle's Studio.

I used four different stamps from this set! I love that many of them can be hand-cut and that they are so versatile. I placed them on the same patterned paper to create cohesion and to make them pop even more I used foam dots.

Now before I let you go, tell me: do you watch K-dramas? What are your favorites? My two favorites so far are Crash Landing on You and Itaewon Class (both available on Netflix).

Happy watching and happy crafting :)
