The end of the year is nearly here and this is a time when many of us begin reflecting on the year we are leaving behind and making plans for the year ahead. Well, it is an understatement to say that this year has been just plain crazy, but nonetheless, there have been some good moments. Today I want to share with you a project I completed using the December 2020 Kit and extras to help me focus on the good things 2020 brought to us.
Supplies | December 2020 Kit, Comfort and Joy Stickers
This 6” x 8” spread came together pretty quickly with a couple of my favorite photos of my family from the year and the 2020 themed components of the December Kit. I used the 4” x 6” “2020 pause and reflect” and the 3” x 4” “2020 favorites” journaling tags to hold my thoughts about the ups and downs of this year and some of our favorite things to come out of the year.
On the left page, I used in the “Let It Shine” 3” x 4” filler tag from the December Kit, adding a phrase sticker from the Comfort and Joy Stickers. I also added the “smile” die cut from this month’s kit to carry over the circle design from the right hand page.
I really loved the blue and colorful striped 3” x 4” tag included in the December Kit and decided to embellish it with die cut circles to match nearly each color line in the card. I am really happy with the finished product and simple look.
So there you have it, a simple and straightforward way to capture some of your thoughts and feelings about one of the hardest years of our lifetime. The prompts on the journaling tags really helped me to focus my thoughts and get them written down without laboring over all the things that happened this year. If you are looking for a quick way to capture some of your year-end reflection, I highly recommend these tags from the December 2020 Kit.
I also just wanted to take a minute to share that this will be my last blog post for the Elle’s Studio design team. After two wonderful years on this amazing team that Elle and Meghann manage, I am sad to be leaving the team, but hopeful for what will come next in my lifelong memory keeping journey. It’s been a true honor and pleasure sharing stories and pages with you all over the last two years! Happy scrapping!
