Process Video #78: Junk Journal

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 04/29/2020 - 22:00

I begin this spread by taping down two sides of a piece of paper in the journal to create a pocket. I cut a tag to fit in the new pocket and embellish it with a photo and some scraps. Then I work on the left side of the spread.

What's A Travelers Notebook

I love working in my travelers notebook. It's smaller, so the commitment is low and the change in dimensions (usually about 4.25 x 8.25 inches) is fun after years of scrapbooking in a square. I create my layouts both in actual notebooks, I buy mine from FelicityJane.com, or simply by punching holes in the paper and adding rings. The ring method works great if you think you might be adding a lot of three dimensional elements.

Sharing the beginning of the year in my pocket pages. Weird to think the year started in Oregon without Iona and we are now in Mexico with Iona. Some of these photos seem like a lifetime ago.

In this video I follow a TN sketch I made and use papers from the Good Life August 2019 bundle. The left side of the page is a Journal Me Page. First I get my papers in order, trying to follow the sketch as best I can. Then I add in my photo and tape everything down.

Quarantine life is honestly not that different from my regular life, except now I participate in lots of live events and chats. We've been hosting fun Zoom calls with the DigitalScrapbook.com community, and it's been great fun to see people I'm used to only seeing in the forums. You can watch the replay of our first Ask Me Anything event.

April 2020 Lockdown Challenge

By Marisa Lerin Fri, 04/10/2020 - 13:46

If you haven't seen the news yet, we're planning a Creative Lockdown Challenge starting on April 15th (see more details here). I was just sitting down to my desk to do a little crafting and a super fun idea came to me and I thought I'd share my new plan for the challenge. I will confess to being a bit obsessed with scrapbooking. I do digital pocket pages, I keep a paper junk journal, and I also do hybrid spreads in a travelers notebook.
