January 2022 - Just The Gist Of It

Our inspiration kit this month comes from Traci Reed Designs "On the Go and Going Slow". The kit can be found here: On The Go and Going Slow Digital Kit — Traci Reed Designs

Here is all the pieces to her digital kit:

The main kit:

The papers:

The journal cards #1 

and #2

The stickers 

The travelers notebook.

There is a lot of inspiration in this kit. Are you trying to make a full kit, or do you want one for just a couple of layouts, a card or a layout in your Travelers notebook, or are you making a kit for scrapbooking for later? First decide what you want to make and how much scrapbooking are you going to do. 

I pulled out the butterfly paper and stamped some hearts to go along with it. Two icons that are in the original kit. I added in some dots and a few fussy cut flowers along with a bunched border. My paper goes well with the inspiration paper, I just have a lot of butterflies instead of the bugs. I am also bringing in purple into my kit. 

So, find what inspires you from the "On the Go and Going Slow" kit and it your own.
