Video | Using the Bookmarked Documenter Kit with Candace Perkins

I love this month’s Documenter Kit! When I opened the kit, I knew right away that I wanted to use the fun stamp set. I love the bold statements on the stamp set and thought they would be perfect to prompt my journaling for the week and create a fun pattern across the spread. 

Take a look at the quick process video below that shows how I created the pattern and balanced the spread with colorful embellishments. 

Tips & Tricks: 

• Use stamps to create a pattern across your spread. It can be with words or icons, color or black and white. Just play! 
• Use stamps to spark your journaling. You can hide the prompt somewhere in your writing or you can use it as a repeated prompt throughout your journaling. 
• Use embellishments to balance the colors in you spread if you're finding that it lacks color or maybe has too much color. Contrast colorful photos with black and white embellishments or monotone photos with bright, colorful embellishments. 

It was so fun to create this spread! I loved getting inky and creating a pattern with the stamp set. I found that I was also able to dig deeper with my journaling by using the stamp set as a prompt. What kind of patterns will you create on your next spread? I can’t wait to see!
