Listers Gotta List: March 2016

One quick and easy way to document your life is list journaling. This has been around the internet for awhile (examples: 30 Days of Lists, 52 Lists from Moorea Seal, and possibly others!). Cori (aka TheResetGirl) created a challenge called ListersGottaList and she provides prompts for people to journal in list format.
I’m going with an all-digital format for documenting my lists. (Since I’m a digital scrapbooker, of course)
My supplies for list journaling:
- Brush lettered elements (my own lettering, digitized and converted into stamps)
- Assorted journaling cards from digital Project Life kits
- Elements from digital scrapbooking kits (most often by Scotty Girl Design)

What I’m skipping:
- Numbering the prompts.
- Because I skip the prompts I don’t enjoy! I realized that it’s supposed to be fun, not a standardized test. It’s ok to skip the questions! It’s so much less pressure to answer the stuff I want to and skip the ones that are annoying to answer.
What I plan to do with all my layouts:
- Multiple lists per page.
- Right now, I’m thinking I’ll get them printed as a 12×12 book.
Hope you enjoyed seeing my layouts. To see other awesome lists, check out the #ListersGottaList tag on Instagram.

How did you put that digital scrapbook page together?

I’m a huge fan of colorful scrapbooking supplies. They totally fit in with the whole bright and colorful aesthetic that I have going on here.
But… Sometimes even a digital folder full of photos and supplies can be overwhelming to sift through though.
My goal with this series is to show you how simple it can be to put together a digital scrapbooking layout using a variety of supplies.
My fave techniques:
- Journaling cards clipped to the appropriately sized digital pocket.
- Journaling cards clipped to a smaller sized digital pocket.
- Journaling cards layered over another card or paper and clipped off the edge of a digital pocket.
- Digital paper clipped to a digital pocket.
- Digital paper clipped to a digital stamp/brush.
- Elements or alphas layered over a journaling card or digital paper.
- Digital washi tape as a label.
