Once I have the majority of my journaling and photos down I start adding in journaling cards and other larger elements I want to use. It's a lot of moving things around and filing in spots. I'll also gather up specific stamps or embellishments that fit the stories I'm telling and set those aside.

Moving on to the right side I decided to work on a 3x4 card that is beside a 4x6 photo. This year I'm trying to keep my journaling IN my pockets and not on my photos... so this 3x4 card will tell the story of my 4x6 photo.

Over the years I've learned that I'm not the best stamper. The best bet for me is to stamp on white cardstock, cut out my stamped image and adhere it to my card. I wanted to use the stamp from the Mirror Mirror add-on kit for this one card and this method would work well for it.

I added in my journaling using a blue fountain pen and included even more journaling on the rest of the card. Because I had two 3x4 elements in a 4x6 pocket I adhered them both to a 4x6 index card so they wouldn't shuffle around in the pocket.

One of my favorite embellishments in the Odyssey kits were the chipboard circles! They were just perfect! I wanted to use one to highlight the map in one of my photos so I adhered it to the center of a white card and surrounded it with journaling.

Lastly I adhered a scripted wood veneer word from Ringmaster to the top of one of my photos.
