Have you ever gone to a glow walk?
My new favorite fall adventure
Behind the Page
I was playing around with some scraps today, I put together two different cut-offs that I had from previous Daily Pages. I loved how these colors went together. Where the two pages met, I used a little strip of washi tape to give it even more of a modern blocky pattern.
For the story — we had an amazing time at the Meijer Gardens Fall Fun evening. We saw such amazing fall flowers and foliage. There were food trucks and we got some tiny little donuts. The best part of the evening was the glow walk they had through their shade garden. It was filled with amazing orange and purple lights, and some really great jack-o-lanterns like the one in the picture. Such great stuff.
Technique of the Day
I love using Daily Pages as a way to quickly document some of my favorite bits of a recent adventure. Even when I’m planning to scrapbook these stories, or put them in a bigger album, I still like taking the time in my Daily Pages to jot down something meaningful about the time. And it doesn’t matter how good the photo is in my Daily Pages (even when it’s a great photo like the one above). It’s just nice to have a visual representation on the page. They’re like first draft scrapbook pages — even if the end visual result doesn’t look remotely similar.

Tips & Creative Wisdom
Use Photos to Anchor Your Story
Photos are a natural starting point for scrapbook-style pages. Pick a photo that holds significance for you—whether it’s a snapshot of something that just happened (like mine today), a simple daily moment or just a random photo on your phone—and build your page around it. The photo acts as the focal point of the story, and your journaling can explain whatever else behind it — thoughts, feelings, ideas, notes, etc. Photos help ground your page in a real moment, making the story feel more tangible.
Tip: Print small versions of photos (2x3 inches is my favorite) so they don’t overwhelm the page, leaving plenty of space for journaling and embellishments.
