And we’ve reached the end of 2019’s Memory Planner! I never include December opting for a separate December Daily album. So here are the last pages before I started in on 2020’s MP.
October 2019 Memory Planner Pages
Nearing the end of the year here and I’m still going strong with this project!
Currently
Reading: The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan - I’m reading this first in a series book in readiness for Girly Book Club in January. The second in the series, The Scholar, was chosen but I couldn’t read the second before the first!
Watching: After my mom’s poking, I finally started the reality show Below Deck. It’s silly, but I’m really loving it.
Listening: Black Veil Brides just released a new two song EP. Loving the new songs!
Making: Piles of things to put away, pack, give away, or throw away. Things around the house have gotten a bit out of control. I’ve been doing some house cleaning this past week.
Feeling: It’s been very cold around here this past week. I’m cold.
Planning: We’re traveling to Indiana on Friday, so I’m making plans.
Loving: Making lots of gingerbread cookies this season.
More Stacked Snowmen
Today’s card is a repeat of my the stacked snowmen from Lots of Cheer stamp set. I pulled out two more colored snowmen and tried to decide how to feature the image. I landed on a watercolored piece of paper to serve as a backdrop. From there I layered more cardstock and a piece of scrap DSP to create my base. I added a tone on tone sentiment, popped up the snowman on dimensionals, and finished the card with a glittery chipboard star.

Embellished Tree
Today’s card features a great Christmas tree embossing folder I picked last year on deep clearance. I couldn’t figure out a way to feature it in a card design. Finally I figured, why not make it the feature of the card? And so I embossing a piece of Shaded Spruce, cut it out with an Oval Die and layered it all on some fun DSP. For a final touch, I added some enamel shapes. Perfect!
