Thanks for sharing your flip through and thoughts! This is my second year in the HC. I'm still finding my groove with it. Last year I used the weekly pages as more of an overview of what I was doing (for my PL) and the daily pages were for journaling. I ended up with a lot of empty daily pages as I didn't have much to journal about on a daily basis. This year I'm trying a more functional approach very similar to what you're doing but I'm finding that I'm reverting to memory keeping on the weekly (along with the functional aspect) and adding journaling to the daily pages when I have something to journal. Also, your plan prep and play class is so great! So many lightbulbs when off and it has helped me get back on track with scrapbooking and creating. Thanks again for all the content you share.

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed my class. I think for me I mostly don’t journal enough each day because of time constraints, it’s so time consuming! I agree that a mix of functional and memory keeping is probably where it’s at! I hope you find your groove. ❤️

I love the size of the journal you are going to use for your media journal. I was wondering what that notebook is

[@LindaLovesCreating]

It’s a B6 stalogy! I really am loving that B6 size now too, it’s the same size as the common planner I’m considering for next year. amzn.to/3SV4uIi

What ink do you use for your stamps?

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Most of my stamps I use black staz-on which works really well in the hobonichi, but I would caution that if you ink is too juicy it will ghost quite a bit. For the ones where I stamp in color, I tend to use Ali Edwards pigment ink because that is what I have in my stash, but it takes a long time to dry.

Is something wrong?
