Featuring Kelly Purkey Shop │ Celebrate 2019

I cleared off my desk this past weekend of all of my Christmas supplies and did a deep clean of my main work surface and it felt so good to have it nice and clean. While I was cleaning things and organizing what was out and on my desk I decided to make a quick Travelers Notebook spread using the My Favorite Holiday stamp set from Kelly Purkey Shop. I love this set and I plan to keep it out on my desk all year. Its perfect for documenting all of the fun made up national holidays like National Pie Day which is January 23rd BTW!

Here is a look at the spread I made, super quick and easy but it tells the story of how we spent our New Years Eve. It ended up being a really quiet night which was totally okay for us, an early dinner and then home to build some LEGO's and watch the festivities on TV. While we were waiting for midnight we snapped these fun pictures because this snapchat filter was so cute. I appreciated it that much more since I didn't bother to get us cute head bands for the occasion this year.

I mixed a few stamps sets in with the My Favorite Holiday stamp set, I also added in the year using the 6x8 2019 Calendar stamp set which will be back in stock for the next shop update on 1/28 as well as the hearts from the Love Notes monthly kit stamp set. The base for the spread was made using papers from the Big Plans travelers notebook kit.

I wanted to make sure I had a place to tell my story but I didn't want to cover up the page on the left so I printed out my journaling on vellum and layered it on top of the paper. Because the dots on this page were dark it was a bit hard to read the journaling so I ended up layering a second piece of vellum under the typed sheet to make it a bit more opaque. I also stamped the sentiments on the right side onto vellum as well. This allows it to show but not compete with the strips below it.

I'm really excited to document our 2019 adventures and look forward to adding more pages to this album as the year goes. This album is new from Citrus Twist Kits and if you are looking for an album that will hold travelers notebook sized pages with binder rings this is a great option. I picked two of these up when they went on sale last week and they are beautifully made and arrived so fast. Here is a link if you are interested. Its not affiliate link, I'm just sharing because I love it and think you will too.

Take care,
