There's a beautiful new mood board over at JOT magazine. I love the soft pastel colours combined with the woodgrain.
I wanted to share my sample for the mood board. I loved the woodgrain so much I wanted to make it a focus of my layout without over it being too over powering. I have used the new Heidi Swapp woodgrain 2 inch tape as a border at the top of my layout and elements from the Heidi Swapp Prismatic project life kit to complete my layout.
I hope you get a chance to play along with the mood board.
I love the simplicity of celebrating the small moments in my family's life using my Memory Planner. Im sharing the last two weeks of my Gold and White spot Memory planner with you today and you will see it is full of our everyday moments both big and small.
On my first page I share a memory that Facebook shared with me from 7 years ago of my youngest son when he was a baby. I added some journaling and then added some of the large stickers from the memory planner collection and my old faithful clear stamps from the Hello Today collection.
I love adding my art work into my planner, they spend so much time drawing I want to capture right now where they are at skill wise as well as their interests. I added some of the white stickers from the Sticker collection straight onto the drawing. A quick and easy embellishment.
I used my planner hole punch to add the holes so I could slip it easily into my planner.
Then I added a small photo to my page and filled the rest with simple journaling about our week. I am also enjoying using quotes that speak to me in my planner, it adds that personal touch.
I am never confident about using my handwriting in my planner but this year I have decided I just need to go with it. So you can see below I added the quote using my handwriting and drew a simple line around to embellish. To add a bit of fun to my page I used some of the washi from the collection pack to hold down my photo.
March starts with a glorious bang with the stunning gold foil divider page.
For my March dashboard I wanted to celebrate my anniversary which falls in March. I added some simple journaling, a wood veneer word and some pink glitter stickers from the collection.
My first double page spread reveals one of the clear divider pages that adds such a pretty feel to my planner.
On the left I added some personal journaling and then my favorite photo from that week. I embellished the photo with some of the brand new washi from the Washi Tape collection.
Makes me happy.
I love the clear overlay over my photo, it adds such a magical touch.
The photo of my new Wall gallery is certainly a memory I want to remember.
I used one of the 4 inch pockets to add in extra photos. I also laid one of the black and gold word strips from the collection directly onto the pocket for easy embellishment.
Another photo holding an everyday memory.
This might be my favorite page in my planner so far. I have used some of the brand new Minc Reactive Art Screen Ink to add that foiled thankyou to my page. It is a real game changer that we can foil any pre designed product, add some of the Reactive Art screen ink and run it through the Minc to add a touch of shine!
Here I have used more of the new Washi tape to add layers but also hold down my photos. Pretty and practical at the same time.
Can you see the gorgeous Rose pink foil, it is just stunning. I added small embellishments around the foiled words to create a focal point on the page.
Let me share a quick video tutorial of how quick and easy it is to achieve this gorgeous result.
Isn't that just incredible. The possibilities are endless with these new Foil Reactive mediums. I cannot wait to add more foil elements into my planner!

I am so in love with my new Heidi Swapp gallery wall in my scrap studio and I wanted to share a quick video on how I created my clear frame inlay that sits perfectly in the large decorative frame. The gallery wall collection will be at your local Michaels stores any day now so be on the look out soon.
I love the pop of hot pick against the clear then matched with the Mint striped mat.
The new texture paste adds some subtle texture and height to a project without the bulk.
Enjoy my video as I share how quick and easy it is for you to achieve this effect as well!
