Hello there! It's Friday which means it's 52 Favorites day! I'm sharing Week 19 on the Paper Issues Blog today.

For most of us, these past few months have been so weird. I haven't been able to do all the fun stuff I like to do during the week or on weekends. Pretty sire most of you haven't either. One of my favorite things about 52 Favorites, is that is makes me stop to find the good things that happened during the week, no matter how small.

This week was my son's birthday. We celebrated with a physically distanced walk by the water. No big celebrations this year, but definitely the highlight of my week.

I'm using a 6x6 album I made filled with all different Vicki Boutin paper collections. I keep it super simple using mostly scraps of paper, stickers and  ephemera. I like to embellish one side, usually with the title and use the other side for the photo and journaling. It never takes me more than 30 minutes to do!

It's never too late to start this project. Make it your own. You can find this and all of the May challenges in our Facebook Group.

52 Favorites - 4th Fun

Hey there! Im on the Paper Issues blog today sharing one of my July weeks in my  52 Friday favorites book. 

This is my absolute favorite challenge we've ever had at Paper Issues. Why? Well, first of all, what a great excuse to go out there and make some memories! Better yet, combine it with one of the monthly I Spy photo challenges and we've given you all the ideas too!  But seriously, sometimes I use this challenge as a reminder that there are weeks you aren't able to do anything really special, but you can always find something special in every week. 

Anyway. Let me share my secret weapon in getting these done in 30 minutes or less. Yep. that's right. 30 minutes or less! It's the Swag Bags ! I get one every month and use them specifically for this project. This month's bag was filled with patriotic, and summery pieces that coordinate together perfectly. I worked with a few of the patriotic pieces of paper and embellishments this week to document our super low key day celebrating the 4th of July.  It was so easy!

Each month I make my own Traveler's Notebook insert . Here is my book for July.

Thanks so much for stopping by my creative view today. I know it's been a while, but I promise I have lots to share. If you can't find me here, you can always find me on Instagram @thebeachygal.
