Let's get right to it...
These pages, like the first ones, document Christmas 2018, but this spread could definitely be used for any occasion. There's nothing too overtly "holiday-ish" about it.
Here I added my photo to the left-hand side (you'll soon realize that a full-size photo is my favorite format for my notebooks).
One the opposite side, I started by layering some stickers...first the circle, then the "love," and then the heart.
**NOTE: Overlapping stickers or ephemera pieces like this adds dimension and visual interest. But remember, if you're going to type on your labels/stickers, make sure you do it before you add them to your spread. It's next to impossible to get a notebook to run through your typewrite easily.**
Next, I typed up some journaling strips and then added them to the page.
Finally, I added a strip of washi tape to each side of my spread to make the layout cohesive.
This clean, simple layout came together so easily and can be repeated over & over.
Try following these steps to change things up:
*Use patterned paper to create your own embellishments
*Draw pencil lines directly on your pages to keep things straight, and then add your journaling using your handwriting
*Add washi tape to the top & bottom of your spread - across your pages
