STB - august 5 2024

Welcome to August 2024 in my STB memory planner. 

Continued with those Basic Grey alpha stickers that were still on my desk for some titles. Added some strips of PP from my stash cuz the cup holding them happened to be in front of my face. What can I say? More journaling than photos this week. But that's fun too cuz I get to bring in more stickers. And labels - which I never think to use.

Don't think I mentioned it, but you can tell on this layout. This "planner" is actually intended to be used for something else. I'm not sure what. Its format is different. But I went through the whole thing drawing lines to create the spaces for days like the original planners from Heidi had. Call me thrifty ;)

Stopping the blur, I am.

Wrapping up July 2024 in my STB memory planner. 

It's usually a slow week as we recover from jet lag. Not a lot of photos. Some journaling which I chose to hide in those cute little file folder die cuts. Made it all pretty with complementary washi tape. And can we have a moment for that cool clipboard die cut? Wowzers. Love that I could even fit the larger one here in the slow week.

I added something new after seeing it in social media - glimmers. What sets off a glimmer in your soul in your everyday life? Write it down.

Stopping the blur.

More of July 2024 in my STB memory planner. 

Unfortunately it was time for DD to leave. Which led to two trips to the airport within 48 hours when Delta's snafu created the biggest airport chaos I have ever seen! But it also gave us an additional unexpected 24 hours together and that was pretty wonderful after the anger and frustration subsided. Following her departure it was time for us to wrap things up before heading to Germany for a month. 

Even with all the busyness and chaos, I find this week's layout peaceful.

STB - july 15 2024

We're in July 2024 in my STB memory planner. 

That monarch mural in Frankenmuth (and my beautiful girl who just happened to be dressed perfectly to pose with it)!!! Might be my favorite photo of this summer. Add to that the photos of the colorful silos in Saginaw...

The spread just screamed for some groovy vibes. I went with it. Stickers. Orange and purples. Fun. 

Flip ups allowed me to add additional photos and cover up my journaling. Kinda digging the vertical strip of small photos to document more memories of our outing.

Moving on in July 2024 in my Heidi Swapp STB memory planner...

Going places. Seeing people. Doing things. Busy week.

A little road trip too. Even though it was short it created more photos than usual. Time for a flip book. And a couple belly bands to contain momentos and journaling.

STB - july 1 2024

We're cruising. Up to July 2024 in my STB memory planner. 

What a week of perfects. DD came to visit. The lake was perfect for kayaking. Perfect lilies. Ice cream is alway perfect, but the walk on the beach at dusk and the photos of it - mwah! Fireworks reflected on the calm lake as we watched from our beach fire.

Did I mention perfect?

Let the photos do the talking. Kept the decoration to washi and some simple stickers.

We're in June 2024 in my STB memory planner. 

Looking back on this now, I'm so appreciative of the concept of stopping the blur. So many of the little things I would have completely forgotten about!!! Slow postal systems. Giant tree trunks floating up onto the beach - and then, thank goodness, floating away again! Good conversations with people we met on the street. 

Played with old Basic Grey alpha stickers to match the beige of the planner pages. Added some fun PP squares to fill in white space and bring interest to the spread.

I let cool vellum alpha stickers and lots of washi carry this week's layout.
