More Than Words Cards: September 2019

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a video about using a 6" x 8" Album to store the stamp sets from the monthly Paper Pumpkin subscriptions. I remembered I had an old (barely used) album at my mom's house so I resolved to get the album and use it instead of ordering a new one. Packed with the album were some old Project Life cards and Stampin' Up! Season of Style Designer Journaling Tags. My initial idea was to actually used the cards and journaling tags to journal my year. I had started January 1, 2015 but I didn't get past January 10th.

So I brought the Album, cards and journaling tags back to my place. I quickly filled the album with the Paper Pumpkin stamp sets but I had no idea where to store the cards and journaling tags.... and then I had an idea, if I used the cards and journaling tags right away, I wouldn't have to find a place to store them.

I got started using the journaling tags (the project life cards are still sitting on my kitchen counter). I spread the journaling tags on my craft desk and just played with the cards, rearranging them all over a few days, until I had projected layouts for all the cards. Side note: I definitely like the current Memories & More Card Packs more than the old journaling tags because the current cards are double-sided, giving me more options for designs and layouts. 15 cards later....
