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

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!
