Week of: 6 January to 12 January 2014
What happened this week: We spent the week on vacation in Hanoi. I hung out with my friends at the River Safari, and we ate good food (again).
Left-hand side:
Techniques used: The same weekly title cards as last week. I ran my journaling cards through the printer again. Instant photos from my Instax mini 25. And I also used more neutrals, with pops of color this week.
Side note: I’m planning to make a mini album of all the photos from our trip, so I just included a couple of my favorite photos for the weekly spread.
Right-hand side:
Can we just pause for a bit and talk about how much I love this card above? The water color effect is my favorite. (The 4×6 card is from Amy Tan’s latest Plus One collection mini kit.)
Thoughts: I’m loving the clean and simple look of the weekly title cards. It provides some resting space for the eyes, while keeping everything consistent across the weeks. I especially love that it’s one less card for me to have to think about/fuss over.
Plus, enamel dots and wood veneers are definitely my go-tos. Enough said.

Oh I am so inspired by this! I love the plain white week cards and the watercolor wash! I think I might need to try my own! Hanoi was one of the places we really considered moving to, so I really hope to visit there soon!
Can’t wait to see what you do if you try it out! (: let me know if you need any information on Hanoi – it was so different but so much fun!
