I was organizing some of my December stuff over the weekend, and I came across these stamped tags that I had already cut out and had a nice little pile of. I was thinking about what I could use them for in this year’s book, and decided they would be great for a DIY Currently page.
Unfortunately, I messed up recording today’s video a bit, so the first 15 minutes are cut off. Big apologies for that. Hopefully you can get a sense of how I put the page together, it’s a pretty simple one.
I’m a huge fan of spending some of my other crafty time making little things that I can use to make my everyday pages easier, and this is the perfect example. When things are busy and I’ve got a little crafty time, I like to do a bunch of stuff that’s easy to complete in bulk—like stamping and cutting these little tags out.
It makes creating pages like today super easy, and gives me the time to add little extras like the ribbon and the tiny houses on the bottom. It’s all about setting yourself up for success with reasonable expectations.
