Creating Currently Journal Cards for Project Life

Today's layout features that awesome stamp set from the April 2016 Take 10 Pocket Kit. Man, oh, man, that "Currently" Stamp (also available separately) was begging for that.

This week sits opposite my last layout from the epic Memorial Day Weekend (my last three blog posts included that series of five layouts).

Here they are together.

Since I used a filler card in one of my slots, I used a technique that I love in order to tell the story of these two pictures shown above. The little man stealing my lunch. I wrote out my journaling on white cardstock and then trimmed it down into strips which I pasted or stapled right on top of the photos.

I used that currently stamp on top of some grid paper to create this journal card. I was deep into that "The Magic of Tidying Up" book at the time, so "currently reading" was perfect.

I pulled out my stamp supplies and got to work with the Currently Stamp Set from the April Take 10 Pocket Kit. It's also available separately, here! To create these, I did them in a way that gave me a variety of cards for future use.  First, I stamp "Currently on each of them. Then, I set up several of the words, lining them all up on my acrylic block by lining them up on the grid cards for good spacing. I stamped a few with each set up.  For some, I spaced the words apart for more writing and some are meant for short answer journaling.

I also stamped that awesome line of chevrons in different spots on each card. Have you used this stamp set yet? Do you plan on making some journal cards with them?
