I spent Saturday, May 3rd on a layout making spree. It was (inter)National Scrapbooking Day, and all over the world people celebrated memory keeping by making lots of scrapbook pages, mini books, and other projects. And shopping… oh the shopping! I was good this year and only spent $11, which is the same $11 I spend every month on product. But I was reeaallyyy tempted.
While I was waiting on Big Picture Classes to start their NSD festivities, I whipped out a couple of quick pages for the My Details class.
The idea is to get them printed out as a single 8.5×11 page and then split it into two inserts. They’ll probably go back to back, since they’re about the same time period. I spent a lot of last month writing for the prompts so I would have the journaling done for future pages. Both of these are for the “thinking” prompt.
First page journaling reads- I am such an over thinker. My brain is busy all the time. Things I’m currently obsessing over- What to do when my FIL comes to visit. Exploring our new town. My knee. Making elaborate family trees for mideaval europpean monarchs. Clean Eating and batch cooking. The 20,000 LO’s I want to make. Catching up on PL. Blog posts that I write but never publish. Blog posts that I publish that I think will make me look bad. Finding a good Cuban coffee place. My bathtub. Once Upon A Time. Unpacking those last few boxes. Dresden Files books. Finding a place where we can see the stars. April 11, 2014
Second page journaling- So Indecisive. Things I cannot make a freakin decision about. Whether or not to have a baby. Where to eat for dinner. What to read next. What I want to be when I grow up. How to arrange my bookshelves.
(I started sharing pages on Instagram with lots of description, so I’ll just copy and paste those from here on).
Super simple page inspired by @stacyjulian for the@bigpictureclasses #nsd10k event. Love how she used a ton of photos with little embellishment. I took it a step further and used no ellies, just a little journaling. I used the AMAZING photo pocket template actions by Mommyish to knock out this page in minutes. Seriously digi scrappers, these actions will blow your mind. I think they’re on sale now too (no, I don’t work for her, they’re just that awesome) #mydetailsclass
Journaling reads- We love eating outside on the balcony with our awesome view. April 2014.
4th page for #nsd10k @bigpictureclasses Inspired by@cathyzielske ‘s journey of finding her style and not comparing herself to others. My style is in constant flux, but I love that. For the past year I’m all about journal cards, wood veneer, and photos edited with RadLab. “Comparison is the thief of joy”. Absolutely!
Journaling reads- (Im)Perfect Day. Things that went wrong on our wedding day….The wrong song was played when I walked down the aisle. The officiate pronounced Jason’s name incorrectly. The ring was tied too tightly on the pillow and we spent an awkward minute while Jamie struggled to get the knot untied.

Another #nsd10k for @bigpictureclasses Inspired by@celinenavarro and her pretty artsy sister LO. Love using all those #justjaimee cards. Also used the#mommyish template builder again. 👍
Journaling reads- Loved taking her to the beach for the first time in years! We haven’t been to the beach together since 2006. She liked it so much we went twice in one day. Palm Beach. 2.18.06 Pampano Beach 3.31.14

Loved the one about your wedding! At my wedding, one of my bridesmaids fainted and fell into the flower arrangements. Good times! 🙂
Oh no! Please tell me someone took a picture, lol!
