For today’s story (now technically Wednesday’s story) we had a cozy snow day at home. Even though we got a bit of snow on Tuesday, we got even more on Wednesday, and it was mixed with a bunch of ice and slippery stuff. This meant all the schools were closed, and Jeff stayed home for the day.
We spent lots of time on the couch under the blankies catching up on some shows, and finishing up the story in a video game we’ve been playing for a few months. I didn’t bother taking any photos since the lighting sucked all day, but there’s no reason I couldn’t tell my snow day story with just a few fun creative supplies and my words.
Technique of the Day
Today’s page is a simple repeating stamped background. I used a new stamp that I picked up at scrapbook.com during their Black Friday sale. We went with Ali Edwards’ metallic silver ink (her metallics are my favorite) on a dark green cardstock.
I double-downed on the stamping with the “Snow Day” title. For that I used some red ink on textured white cardstock for a bit of added interest. The title went on the left side, and a manilla tag with some journaling went on the right page.

Tips & Creative Wisdom
Photos Are Optional
You don’t need a camera roll full of pictures to tell a great story. Words, texture, and a few intentional supplies can carry the whole memory.
Pro Tip: On low-light or stay-at-home days, skip the photos and lean into journaling plus pattern or repetition instead.
