Essential Reading
Happy 4th, fellow Americans! To the rest of the world: Happy Friday!
Amy and I are not-so-secretly working on the next round of 30 Days of Lists (subscribe to our mailing list here if you want to be the first to get awesome news from us) and one of the lists that came out of our brainstorming session was a variation of “the little things”…As I sit here, I’m reminded of that simple prompt and have a few things I would list right away: Iced green tea, gold glitter nail polish, the smell of sunscreen, sore forearms from kayaking, fostering friendships, working with best friends (on different projects), and that warmth your skin gives off after being in the sun for a little while. I liked that prompt because it reminds me to stay in the moment — which is difficult for me when I’m writing posts like this and scheduling social media updates a week ahead of time (not always, but I try). I’m always working weeks or months in the future that I find it difficult to slow down…It’s nice to have a holiday that’s so family-centered to remind me to slow the heck down.
This week’s essential reading:
- Ali Edwards shared 10 tips for adding more works to your Project Life® layouts
- It’s one thing to ask somebody to “pick their brain” (too vague!) but you’ll probably get a better response (and the answers you were actually looking for) if you try some of the things in this post
- Amy listed different ways to document your summer
- Kristin’s basic scrapbooking tools is something I wish was written when I first started scrapping years ago. She’s really killing it lately with her “for beginners” posts — I’m a huge fan of posts like this, you never know what you’ll learn…
- …While you’re at it, Studio Calico has a quick tutorial on how to make a small mini-album
- I know I complain about my #cubiclelife sometimes but I often forget that a day job is the dream job for some Creatives
- Bookmark this post, it’s pretty fantastic. It’s a guest post on one of the best sites to find hiking info in Southern California and it has very important information/points about coming across archeology sites while exploring
- Elise shared a video of her Project Life® process on the Studio Calico website that is helpful when you’re (like me) feeling a little stuck with the project
Have a wonderful and safe weekend!
