Love this setup. The first go at your cover page was lovely but the final product is SO PRETTY! Also, your dates and numbers stamp set is a much needed addition to the stamp world. 💕
Sorry if you already know this but I always tell ppl bc I didn't know and when I found out it made me mad.... photo printers that use zink paper will fade over time like the cannon ivy... I had to give up my hp sprocket (which used zink) for kodak mini 2 and fujifilm instax
Love all 4 of the layouts Tori! Great job!! I am trying to find clothing stamp set like the one you have from PP but ca'n't find it anywhere! If anyone knows where I can find one please let me know!
I just started a Reading Journal this year. I am an avid reader and thought this was a great idea to track what I have read. I have been exploring many RU-vid videos on various layouts.
Thank you! I used regular sticker paper for this cut, but I choose washi paper because I’ve had issues in the past with my blade cutting through the backer of my sticker sheet (when I’m aiming for kiss cut sheets, which is usually my preference). When looking through all the cut options, I found the washi paper setting has the least amount of pressure allowable by the machine for a standard cut. Utilizing that material setting plus selecting less pressure decreases the chances of the machine cutting all the way through my sticker paper. 😊
21:16 just a thought because I suffer from migraines as well. Track the barometer when you get a migraine. I've discovered between 30&29 I get horrible migraines. The closer to 29 the worse the headaches are. It helped me be proactive with my migraines that are affected by the barometer.
I don't mind seeing the mess-ups. Unless you plan every little detail in pencil first, it's going to happen sooner or later to everyone. I know I have my share of mess-ups and sometimes with the fixes it turns out better than I envisioned. For your totals page - I track DNFs and rereads. DNFs because one of my reading goals this year is to have fun. I have an unfortunate habit of slogging through books I don't actually enjoy (I paid for them after all), it's a waste of time and there are so many books out there that I will enjoy. This year I'm better. Not good, but better. And I track rereads, because favourite books / series / authors are my go to when I feel stressed. I found over the years that it's a better indicator for my mental health than a daily mood tracker. I like the idea of a theme repeated through the years (and a galaxy theme is a great choice IMO). I repeat colour schemes (blues and pale purples for winter, yellows / oranges / reds for fall and blues and greens in my travel journals for coastal vacations). What I do every year on my birthday is a "currently" layout, I usually don't do summaries like that any other time of the year except in my travel journals. Your July theme is lovely and tabbed pages / dutch doors are always fun to look at!
Thank you so much! Tracking my rereads would be such a good idea! I hadn’t thought of that. I agree, I have a couple themes I’ve been revisiting each year, and I love to see what I can do to give each one their own uniqueness. It can be challenging but it’s fun!
The largest tracker would span across the whole year, there are two of those. There are enough mood trackers (4 total) for a quarter. There are 14 weekly trackers, that one would depend on how many you are using though for each month. :)
Lovely setup! A tip for the PET tape, use the pad of your finger instead of your nail to remove the backing. For some reason it makes it much easier. I’m noticing more companies are starting to kiss cut the designs so hopefully we won’t have to struggle with all the hours of fussy cutting and backing removal anymore. 😂
I must have forgotten to link those! The inks and the storage are from Pinkfresh Studio :) Ink cubes: www.pinkfreshstudio.com/collections/ink-cubes Ink cube holder: www.pinkfreshstudio.com/products/ink-cube-holder-box-48-cubes
@loribennett9068 it helps to prime the stamp to accept and hold the ink better! Some people use erasers to prime their stamps, but I’m a little too impatient and find just rubbing on my hand or arm is quicker and works about the same. :)
I learned a trick with new stamps. You take an eraser and rub the stamping side to get off any leftover oils/mold release agents from manufacturing process. They stamp better afterward.
I seldom scrap 12x12’s but I do love to watch others scrap that size. I like to see what others do and how they incorporate their elements. Yours turned out so lovely!
When I watch scrapbooking or memorykeeping videos I don't care about the sizes, I care about the process, the creative ideas and (if it's a tutorial) the explanations, especially when it comes to editing digital elements. I used to scrap 12x12 layouts, but nowadays I work in DIN sizes (A5 and A4 specifically, the basic products are just easier and less expensive to get here in Germany) and the occassional Travellers Notebook size. I learned to adapt sketches I like. Like you I don't have a wide format printer and mine doesn't even print without borders. It's encouraging to see other people make do (I'm tired of seeing all the latest gadgets...), so even if I'm never going back to 12x12, I'd be interested to see your solutions to the print restrictions. I enjoy creators who work in different sizes and formats. Your video and your use of the "My Oasis" collection inspired me to do a reading layout as well., just edited the photos. ;)
I’m a little late to this video, but in case you haven’t found a new black ink, I really like the versafine clair black ink! It’s the best I’ve tried so far (:
