Memory Planning

Hi everyone, It’s Melissa here for Throwback Thursday! Today I have something a little different to share with you.  This year I’m doing Memory Planning in an attempt to limit the number of 12×12 layouts that I create, and to streamline my documenting process because not every story needs a big layout of its own.  I’m using a Memory Planner by Heidi Swapp and the gorgeous Daydream collection. This collection works so well with the Planner.

The Memory Planner paper has the lines, days of the week, dots beneath the days and the “week of:” printed on it.  I stamped the numbers and the week details.  Aside from the washi tape, everything else I used is from Daydream. Here is my left side page.  As you can see I used lots of Die Cut Ephemera to embellish my page.

I added an interactive element that I made with papers from the A5 Paper Stack.  Here is the inside:

Here is the page on the right side. I used my sewing machine on several elements to add texture.  I stitched before I adhered these elements so that the stitching wouldn’t go through the page.  The edge of my  The rainbow is a cut apart piece and was perfect for my journaling.

I have more journaling hidden under my interactive piece on this page.

I loved getting the rainbow ephemera piece and an Accessory Sticker onto my page, so perfect for my beach photos!

I love that Daydream is so versatile and can be used for lots of different memory keeping projects!

Take care
