I've set up a few bullet journals for the year, and I've been including some daily news items because there has just been so much WEIRD news already this year. Like Connor stuck in the vase! I printed that one out on my mini sticker printer to put in the journal - I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Then there's the 10 foot tall Miami mall aliens! The Boeing Alaska Airlines door! Nekkid Bass Pro Shop Guy! The 9 month cruise debacle! The Epstein list! And this is only DAY NINNNEEEEEE. Anyway, it's made for fun journaling.
I decided on a new format for the daily journal. I create the same boxes on every page with this collage stencil. Ink blend, then outline. Then I fill them in - I'm doing a pixel temperature grid, so one box is for the h/l temps. I have a box for a doodle. I have a Kondo box - stuff I've given away on Buy Nothing (trying to do that daily). The other boxes are for Diary items, news, ideas - not all will be on all days. But it's a short and sweet way to create a page daily and I'm loving it. I'm also including a word of the day - my mom found a great website and sends them and some of them are new to me and fun - like EGGCORN. An eggcorn is a word or phrase that results from someone misunderstanding or misinterpreting another. So when people say "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes" - that's an eggcorn. Fun.
I also decorate the pages with stickers from my ephemera collection. I'll do a flip through at some point.
But today I have just a simple papel picado style card for you - I adore this look from a lifetime of being surrounded by papel picado in Texas and New Mexico restaurants - it's just familiar and beloved.
The die is a layering die - so that heart design is actually a series of three dies - a scalloped outline, a scalloped heart shape and an inset die that cuts out the center patterns. The other die is an A2 card front sized inset die. Brilliantly put together so that you can have a blank center for a sentiment, color layer and inlay, or put the whole thing together like I've done here. I did not include a sentiment because this is all this card needs!!
They have another stamp set that to me also looks like it would work for sectioning off a bullet journal - I love the doodly style.
Stay away from the mall aliens - it's crazy out there.
Loveyameanitbye.
