Listing in my Field Notes Journal | Boho Berry Challenge

#lists #listmaking #planner addict #boho berry challenge #field notes insert #midori

Of all the sizes of Midori notebooks available, my two go-to sizes are the A6 and Field Notes journals. They just seem to fit my needs best. I'm a fan of those sizes mostly because the pages aren't too big to fill up, but just large enough that everything fits.

Even though I keep a Gratitude Journal, there's always something else to be thankful for. Always. Even on the darkest day, there is some good.
There are even instant download printables available.

Celebrities to Meet

Every Time I Go To...


There's something about the surprise of opening a journal and turning each page waiting for the surprise of what the next page may be. Okay, call me weird, but I love that. I love pretty paper, patterned paper, the feel, smell and texture of vintage book pages. I love it all.

Over the years, I have made a huge number of mixed paper journals for myself...and for tons of customers, too! Every time I go to my craft room, I can't help myself.

THE LISTS
Day 15 | Things I Learned Recently
It's private. And it might even get me in trouble if I shared, so I journaled my list and used a mini glassine bag and a shipping tag to make it interactive and to hide it from the person who doesn't need to see it. All you have to do is slip the shipping tag out of the glassine bag, flip it over and read my list.

That cute little crochet heart comes in tons of fun colors, find them in the shop along with other fun embellishments + kit collections.

Day 16 | Every Time I Go To                  , I Buy...
When prepping for my journaling, nothing popped out in mind saying, “Yes, this is the answer!” So what does a Mama do but ask her kidlets, right? So, that’s what I did. I was stumped, nothing screamed at me as "THE" answer, so I asked my girls in our group text chat, that if they were me, how they would answer this question.

Back In My Day

#30lists #listmaker #list challenge #mini book #scrapbooking #smashbook #back in the day

Yeah. So there's that.
 To think that you *might* be old enough to say those words out loud. Back in My Day.

THE LISTS
Day 21 | Back in My Day
That darling pink guest check, which totally reminds me of back in the day when waitresses used to take your order on one of these, comes in the embellishment kit with this journal - only 2 remain.

Day 22 | My Favorite Plants
Honestly, I could go on forever, these are just a few. Some are probably even weeds, but I still like them. To prep my page, I pulled out my watercolors and dabbed on some bright yellow in straight-ish dashed lines going up the page. It was a good way to brighten up the page, given the list prompt, and it matched the yellow polka-dotted bag from the previous day so well.

The mason jar full of hearts on the left side of the page comes in the embellishment kit, and then I added another mason jar die cut in kraft paper as a shadow behind it.

The Best Parts of Spring


I love Spring. I'm always itching to get outdoors and start playing in the dirt, which is one of the best parts of Spring. I'm one of those crazy gals that likes to walk around the yard to see if any new plants and flowers have peeked through or are beginning to bud. At this moment, I am hoping the rain holds off so I can get outside and begin spreading the mulch in the spots where I've already weeded.

Yippeeeeeee!

And no, I don't like anyone to do it for me. Gordon tells me every year that we could hire someone to deliver, haul and spread the mulch, but I won't let him. I don't trust anyone else. Crazy, right?

THE LISTS
Day 18 | Things That Make My Life Easier
Today's list came together rather quickly! This journal page was pre-embellished with the sticky note, I just moved it down a bit to make room for my list prompt, so all I had to do was journal.

#30lsts #30 Days of Lists #mini book #spring #smashbook #mini album #listing journal

UPDATE:  I have actually moved from using just readers to wearing real glasses. And progressives at that. So far, so good. The headaches are gone, I'm not as swimmy-headed as I was and I'm soooo happy that the optician suggested getting a second pair of glasses just for computer and reading, the available space makes it easier on me, that's for sure.

Day 19 | At The End of The Day, All I Want Is...
Now that spring is here, I’ll admit that the urge to hop into my comfy clothes isn’t nearly as urgent as it is during the cold, dreary days of winter.  And I do love a sweet treat, especially with a cup of coffee. Or a huge glass of milk.


#30lsts #30 Days of Lists #mini book #spring #smashbook #mini album #listing journal
#30lsts #30 Days of Lists #mini book #spring #smashbook #mini album #listing journal

As much as I’m a fan of embellishments and techniques and textures, I’m an even bigger fan of using my own handwriting. Because my cardstock was already heavily patterned with a variety of colors, I just picked up my pen and journaled.

Day 20 | The Best Parts of Spring
I cannot tell a lie, after the long, dreary days of Winter bright sunshine-y days "make my day."

#30lsts #30 Days of Lists #mini book #spring #smashbook #mini album #listing journal

I used this tag and the attached string, and tied on a yellow flower for my list prompt on the left side of the page.  To mark the date on the right side, I used the journaling spot available in the embellishment kit.

WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?
I don’t ever pre-plan what my lists will say, I just begin writing and hope it all fits in the space I’ve allowed myself. Believe it or not, most of the time it happens to work out in my favor!

What is your go-to style of journaling?
By the seat of your pants, stream-of-consciousness?
Or plan, plan, plan and write it out before hand making sure it makes sense and will fit on the page?

Things To Do Every Weekend

#lists #things to do every weekend #listmaker #30lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book

I've always made some sort of list. Wish lists, lists of gift ideas for friends and family and endless grocery lists, which usually get left at home and then I have to wing it. I should have added "make a list" to my Things To Do Every Weekend list, just for the fun of it!

I'm participating in the 30 Days of Lists challenge for the 16th time this month and you can, too. More details and registration can be found here {affiliate link}. Love it, one of my favorite projects to do!

THE LISTS
Day 10 | My Favorite Local Businesses
Yes, that's a hangtag from Target, and no it's not local, but it seemed like a cute idea! For my list, I used a free journaling card I designed for the #30lists gang from one of the past challenges and the NEED die cut from the printables sheet for this round, rounded the corners, used a pop dot to attach the die cut and tucked it inside the envelope. 
I still have a few of these journals remaining in the shop here

Day 11 | Things To Do Every Weekend
With a new puppy doing so well with crate training, sleeping in is not an option. Not that I have really slept in since I had kids, but one day sleep-ins will be "a thing" for me.

Day 12 | ______ is My Cardio
I have never exercised, and have only ever half-heartedly thrown around the idea in my head, but now, craft time...that gets my blood pumping!

Day 13 | Things I Believed As A Child
If you missed how this page looked before the list, see it here. There's also a link to a tutorial on adding ephemera to your {already} bound spiral journals. took the quick way out today and embellished just one thing instead of making a list. 


I used some washi tape to attach the vellum paper with my list to the front side of the Old Maid card page in my mini book. In a blog post earlier this month, I showed how to add ephemera to your spiral bound journals {after they're already bound} and that's how I added the polka dotted card that was in the embellishment kit.

Boho Berry Challenge | March 2018

#boho berry challenge #lists #list prompts #journaling prompts #midori #planner addict #planner supplies

I don't know if you saw it, but Kara from @boho.berry on IG featured my photo on their Twitter feed {see it here}. I'm not on Twitter, but pretty cool, right? 

#boho berry challenge #travelers notebook inserts #midori #Planner Addict #list challenge #lists #jouranaling prompts
Here are few more lists I've shared over on Instagram {@iloveitallshop} this past week, and here's my post using my Field Notes journal for the first 8 days of lists.

THE LISTS
Favorite Recipes

We like to cook around here. And eat. Gordon cooks almost as much as I do and his biscuits beat mine every day of the week. My goal is to share more recipes with you, but until then you can check out my Good Eats posts here on the blog.

Things I'd Like to Learn


I really do need to learn grace and to just let those thoughts in my head stay there, unspoken.

My Favorite Supplies


I could supply the world with my collection {very much used collection} of black pens and markers.

30 Days of Lists | Days 6 - 9


So many lists, each telling more about me and of my life at this point in time, it's my right now. Want to join the fun? Find out more info and how to register here. {affiliate link}

THE LISTS

Day 6 | Emoji's I Use The Most
I outlined inside the speech bubble shape from Day 5 onto the coin envelope {find more here} and got lucky when I found letter stickers that fit inside the shape. I printed out the emoji's onto sticker paper, trimmed and stuck them to the page.

After the List
I outlined inside the speech bubble shape from Day 5 onto the coin envelope {find more here} and got lucky when I found letter stickers that fit inside the shape. I printed out the emoji's onto sticker paper, trimmed and stuck them to the page.

Day 7 | I Feel Powerful When
Mini books are such a great little project to use up pretty scraps and random letter and number stickers, which is how the number 7 makes an appearance on today's list. The embellishment kit below is available for purchase!

#30 lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #list challenge

After the List
The washi tape enforces the blue and pink theme, plus it's just a fun addition and the baker's twine is just too cute not to use every now and then.

#30 lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #list challenge
#30 lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #list challenge

So after reading my list, it appears that I value being right. That's not what I meant for it to read like at all. I mean for it to be more like, I am right after someone doubts me, or my solution, or my answer choice but in the end it ends up I am right after all. I don't gloat, but I try to glow inwardly feeling powerful that I didn't let myself down.

Day 8 | Things Other People Love That I {just} Don't Get
Before the List
I had no idea what I was going to do with this page when I put my journal together, but I really liked the retro, vintage feel of the colors and designs of this patterned paper.

Using my Field Notes Journal for Listing


Even though I'm already knee deep in another engaging listing challenge, the March 30 Days of List community, I've been keeping up with the Boho Berry list challenge over on Instagram. I'm using a  Field Notes travelers notebook insert in the birdhouse pattern, because it reminded me of Spring {find more patterns here} and a set of stickers I ordered from Evalicious ages ago.


You know how much I love embellishing a list page with layers, but not this time. I literally went to my shop inventory, chose a journal and grabbed a set of stickers from my personal stash and found a comfy spot on the couch. Did you see this post using another Field Notes insert for listing?

MY JOURNALING SUPPLIES


  • travelers notebook insert in the Field Notes size, I Love It All
  • black marker, Sharpie
  • set of round stickers, Evalicious

MY PAGE SET UP


  • one round Evalicious sticker per page, randomly placed
  • list title and list using my Sharpie marker
  • doodled list border

Tips for Getting Started

#30lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #mixed media journal #scrapbooking

After seeing me post all about my own 30 Days of Lists, you may be wondering if you can still join in. YES, absolutely, you can read more about the challenge and register here {affiliate link}. No one ever said that they have to be 30 consecutive days, or even done in 30 days. You may choose to speread them out over the next year. The next challenge begins in September, with another in December so there are plenty of opportunities for you to join in.

THE LISTS
I began embellishing some pages before the #30lists challenge began, which is something I like to do. With the journal I am using, there is a mini kit included as well as the opportunity to add-on an embellishment kit with a collection of coordinated goodies. This blog post shares how I used every single item {I'm pretty sure at least} from the add-on kit in my journal.

Day 3 | My Anthems
Before the List
The page comes already trimmed to mimic a pennant banner shape for you, find the journal here, and then I added the camera die cut {included in the add-on kit} using foam dots to attach it to the page. 

#30lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #mixed media journal #scrapbooking
#30lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #mixed media journal #scrapbooking

After the List
The yellow die cut bracket shape on the left page is folded over from the previous day's list {see Day 1 here} and I used the shape to lead the eye to my list title.  I then used a hack I've used before - phrase stickers - to journal my list.

#30lists #lists #30 Days of Lists #smashbook #mini album #mini book #mixed media journal #scrapbooking

I always draw a blank when I'm put on the spot for favorite "anything" so I switched my list title just a little as more of a "themes of my life" kind of list rather than anthems {songs} that define me.

Day 4 | Tips for Getting Started
Before the List
It's always fun for me to include office ephemera in my journals and the hot pink message slip just seemed so Spring like to me that I had to include it. I've used them in past 30 Lists mini books and they're always fun to find new ways to make them look new and different.

How Do You See Yourself?


How do you see yourself?

I prepped my page for the March 30 Days of Lists challenge, shared in this blog post, by using the yellow bracket jouranling card. It's sunny yellow color with white dashed bordeer just seemed like such a perfect fit for the patterned cardstock. That journaling card and all of the goodies you see below are part of the add-on kit for the journal I'm using.


BEFORE THE LIST 
 I again used a die cut shape from the freebie printable I designed for the March challenge {free to everyone who registers - thank you for using my affilate link} and tucked it under the paper clip I added for List One. I decided to round the corners of the striped glitter tag that I folded over from the March 1st list and again used my date stamp on the lower left of the back side of my kraft bag.
