The past few months have been pretty crazy, and that’s not including COVID. You know when your brain just feels so overloaded? And you think to yourself, it can never be more overloaded than ‘right now’…and then it is?

Ya, it’s like that. Is it wrong that I’m already looking forward to my December break? :P Maybe it’s because I’m just not getting out enough. You know, that whole decompressing and creative stimulation thing you get when you watch movies or eat out and look at menus or go to Target? ;)

Maybe that’s what it is. Have you guys been feeling more ‘lack of brain cells’ too?

Note to self: get out.  ;)

Speaking of brains, have you ever shared the same brain with someone? I mean, like seriously…you both think the same things, come up with the same ideas, all that? Well say hello to my other brain half, Miss Marcy Penner. (Hey, maybe that’s why I’m lacking cells? haha)

This girl has been a part of the KBS team in years past and I just love her. (Would that be like loving myself? Paradox? ;) ) If it weren’t for Miss Marcy, I don’t know if I’d have gotten into documenting the way I do, because hello, the ‘other half’ of my brain figured out a simple way of doing things that my own half of the brain could work with. Of course it’s evolved over time, but she’s the one that set me on my TN path.

She documents in wonderfully simplistic style and I adore it!
And you should check out her art on Instagram too.

 

 

 

See what I mean? You don’t need a lot of fluff to document. In my book–and Marcy’s–less is more. It’s just gorgeous.

Here’s Marcy to tell us about it:

Little phrases are just perfect for stacking. Especially if you’re like me…. where you’re not HUGE into titles or extensive journaling… those little phrases speak volumes.

For this spread I printed off a variety of printables and trimmed out the phrases that applied to my spread.  I stamped a short one word title [Thick+Thin] and trimmed it to mimic the word strips and then stacked them vertically down the left side of my spread.  On the right page I created a cluster with embellishments and photo.  Nice and simple.
