I’ll be honest , it has been a challenge journaling a cold sunny winter day that I was out on a walk with Hubby and our Poppy.

I want to journal that day because, all the hoomans are having a lovely time walking around the park and chatting and our doggo are also having fun running around the park and playing tug.

It was a glorious day considering how cold it was.

When I opened the Joy to the World kit , I just know it would be perfect.  I also took inspiration from the journal prompts that was provided in the zine – documenting something outdoorsy.

As you know I love the zine that comes with the kit.  It is just filled with lots of inspiration.

I had a page in my giant journal where I have stuck a mini folio of pockets that was sent to me on a happy mail.  I have been thinking of when I can use the page.  Well , the day came finally!  You just don’t know how long the photographs had been on that very page !

Firstly , I used one of the decorative papers to cover the blank white page next to the pockets.  I then tore a piece of the grid paper , inked the torn edges and pasted it on top.  This will used for my journaling later on.  I also glued a cluster at the top. I used bits from the washi strip sheet and fussy cut the little houses and glued them in a cluster.

After cutting the photographs apart , I  glued them on to the pockets, and  used the pockets to keep the journaling for each photograph.  I created little journal cards from the kit.

As for the post card , I have trimmed it so that it fits on the front pocket.  This will used for potential hidden journaling later on.

Each pocket has a photograph outside , and inserted in the pockets is the journaling / info about the photograph.

Then , on the main page, I journaled about the day.

As per usual , I have used some of the stickers, cut apart card  and washi tape sheet to decorate my journal layout.

I have  also used the thin washi tape included to decorate the edges/ corners of my photograph to finish my journal page.

I just love all the colours on this page, it truly reflects the joy we had for this day.

Until next time my lovely friends !  Remember , you can always take inspiration from the kits , whether it’s the theme , the journal prompts or colours.

Lots of crafty hugs ,
