STB - may 6 2024

We're in May 2024 in my STB memory planner. Lots of photos. And other stuff.

Played with old alpha stickers. And even older large sheet Basic Grey letter stickers.

One big flap housing a waterfall of photos made from a bit of a lovely card I received from a crafty friend ElisabethElisabeth. Doodled lines. And stamping and stickers. Three cheers for Heidi Swapp and stopping the blur.

This is actually the last spread in this memory planner. On to a new one.

 

STB april 2024 in a nutshell

I used the month-at-a-glance in my 2024 STB memory planner for the first time. 

I know people use them like a calendar. I decided to do a glance back at the end of the month and do a month-in-a-nutshell. Just having fun remembering all the things that somehow stuck out to me as having been important in that month. 

May I introduce April-in-a-nutshell.

 

STB - april 29 2024

Moving into May 2024 in my Heidi Swapp STB memory planner.

Quite the hodgepodge, but hey, so was this week. Biggest memory: the damn mosquito that bit my leg when I was gardening. It got red. It got swollen. I got a sore ankle out of the deal too. Quite the week to remember.

But the big May 1st hike around our 'hood. And a delicious dinner at friends'. Stopping the blur.

 

STB - april 22 2024

More of April 2024 in my Heidi Swapp STB memory planner. 

Once again less photos. More fun place holders and white space.

Found a PP at my local dollar store that I loved and let it lead me.  Again, nice having PP with color schemes already perfected that you can use to create your pages.

Used some alphas and stickers that seemed to match too.  And photo flip ups ;)

STB - april 15 2024

More April 2024 in my Heidi Swapp STB memory planner.

Everything but the kitchen sink for this week's spread, including DS's artwork from his manga stage that I discovered in a pile of scrap paper. And an invite to a party we attended this week. And a vellum die cut overlay that had been laying around. For years!

Used some Dyan Reavely inspired handwriting too. 

Quite the hodgepodge, but hey, so was this week. Stopping the blur.

 

STB - april 8 2024

It's April 2024 in my STB memory planner and we got the exterior of our house painted. 

What a project for us. Any color would probably have looked better than the dirty white it was. But of course we pondered color combos. And drove neighborhoods checking out other houses. It took weeks with the prep of removing lights and cutting back bushes. Then putting everything back. And painting our screened porch. But in the end it looks fresh and clean and that's the main thing. 

Oh cannot forget the solar eclipse. I really enjoyed following NASA's online coverage of it. Loved that 360 sunset in Cleveland!

Photo sleeve and flip. Mismatched alphas which are very colorful but I thought that matched the PAINT theme. That's what you find this week in my Heidi Swapp memory planner.

STB - april 1 2024

We're up to April 2024 in my STB memory planner. Lots of photos. And more of that fun alpha stamp. 

Played with ephemera from a Simple Stories kit. And I think my favorite alpha stickers of all time are the little typewriter letters from Krim and Isa. They're ancient but such fun to work with. 

Photo flips. Vellum pockets. Doodled lines. And best of all, memories of a beautiful Easter Monday at Oma's house. Three cheers for Heidi Swapp and stopping the blur.
