LAYOUTS: October 2010

I can't even tell you how much I love Love LOVE Cathy Zielski's The Monthly template kit. It has made it so easy for me to document an entire month that I've done more layouts since my daughters's been born than I have in a long while. Other than the journaling, the majority of these pages have been completed one-handed while I feed my baby. Got to love digital scrapbooking!

I realized why these work so well for me. I still have a hard time letting go and doing layouts without "meaningful" journaling. For example, I have a bunch of pictures from when DH's aunt visited. Normally, I'd put all those pics on a layout and then struggle to come up with some awesome journaling over a visit that lasted only a few hours. With this format, it's a sentence. "Aunt so-and-so came to visit and meet Baby." That's really the whole story; there's not much else to tell. It's much easier for me to journal about our month in general than it is for me to try to come up with titles and journals for every little thing.

I talk more about The Monthly kit in the post with my September pages.

I used papers and elements from ScrapChicStudios' Beautiful kit and SimpleCleanDigiScraps' Halloween Treats kit.
