Don’t mind me, I’m just hiding all the remotes so my children can’t change the channel for the next two weeks. I am so excited for the Olympics to get started!!! Which sport is your favorite to watch? Have you seen the adorable slideable printer from @wermemorykeepers ?!? It is called the "Printmaker", and once I saw it in action over at on the stories from @thekingstonhome I knew that I HAD to give this little printer a try. It just came in, so I am still learning, but I figured I would film my unboxing and setup for the first print. I am planning on doing a comprehensive review video in another week, so leave me any questions or concerns you have below! #wermemorykeepers #printmaker #slidingprinter #miniprinter #craftsupplies A few weeks ago, I shared the summer projects that I was most excited about working on, including an envelope mini album that I plan on using to document our beach trip. So many of you requested a tutorial on how to create the album! I put one together for you. It's a bit longer than a typical video of mine, but full of all kinds of details!⁠⁠ Morning journaling process - gratitude, brain dump, focus, and dig in. Loving spending time in my journal in the mornings and getting my creativity flowing as my day gets going! "If you listen to any thought long enough, it becomes part of your personal playlist...Broken soundtracks never evolve into new soundtracks on their own. That process is on us. We are in charge of retiring the old ones and replacing them with brand new ones...There are three actions to change your thoughts into a superpower: Retire your broken soundtracks. Replace them with new ones. Repeat them until they are as automatic as the old ones. Retire. Replace. Repeat."⁠ "For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm." -Psalm 33:9⁠ Do not be intimidated - memory planning can be so easy and simple! I created this fun summer spread using one piece of scrapbook paper and some gorgeous Happy Planner stickers. Nothing complicated, but still a cute memory planner spread. Check out the full process over on my YouTube channel!⁠⁠ I love stencils, but they can be a little tricky to store. I've tried several different methods over that last couple of years, but I think I have finally settled on a system that I love. Sharing all about it on my YT channel!⁠⁠ It seems silly, but sometimes I forget that I can use mixed media techniques outside of the pages of my art journal! I was inspired to create this mixed media page as part of my Fussy Cuttin' Cuties Keeper last week, and it turned out so cute! It makes me think of ice cream melting down the page. It is a pretty easy process that I am sharing over on my YT channel today!⁠⁠
