Due to pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel that is still problematic 2 years post-partum, I’ve had to adjust my strategy with memory keeping and journaling. Gone are the days when I could fill up a larger notebook with my handwriting and a lot to say. Instead, I rely more on shorthand, cliff notes, and creative play to bridge the white page gap!

 

 

 

In the Willows Deluxe Journaling Kit you’ll find at least one large sticker, which is a hand-saver! For these two daily pages, I used the large sticker to anchor the page and set the tone for décor. Once I laid down half the sticker, I cut it down the center at the seam of the page and laid the rest of it down. I love opening up this spread and seeing that beautiful Willows scene in the center!

  

  

I used the Willows alpha stickers to create ‘headlines’ of topics that I knew I wanted to reflect on. These are eye-catching, fill in some space, and act as journaling reminders. And I couldn’t resist laying down some of the stamp images in the Willows stamp subscription – that front is the cutest!

 

 

 

While I don’t often share after-the-pen journaling spreads, I thought it would be helpful to see how my journaling pages look when filled in. I get the satisfaction of a “full” spread, with plenty of content, while saving my hands from writing excessively!
