Journal with Vicki – Word of the Year

Hi Guys, Vicki here!

.

I hope you’ve all had a good start to the year and have managed some creative time.

.

Now that the festive period is over I’ve really enjoyed finishing last years journal and starting on this one!  I’ve made a few pages in the start of my book using the Wish Upon A Star kit.  They’re still available to buy as a one off kit here.

The first is a double page layout with my word of the year on it.  The left page I’ve added some watercolours to white paper.  I wanted to keep them similar to the ones on the collage sheet so I could use that on the other side. I’ve covered it with the vellum sheet from the kit to mute the colours and added a rainbow stamp and quote I had in my stash to it.  I love how simple it is. and finished it off with some gold dots!

The opposite page I’ve used some alpha stickers to add my word at the bottom and used one of the journaling cards from the cut apart sheet.  These are such a cool addition this month!!  I’ll use this to add why I chose STRONG this year and what I’m hoping for!

The next page is another really quick and simple one!  I’ve used white cardstock and the rainbow stamp to create a really subtle background.  I’ve used Antique Linen and Tattered Rose distress inks.  They’re so pretty!

I was gifted a pair of punch pliers for Christmas and I’ve been desperate to punch all the things since!  I’ve added a hole to my page and another to a journaling card and tied them loosely.  I love that it makes it a bit more interactive when it’s such an easy page!

Are you enjoying using your new planners and journals?
