Do you get inspired by story class content? I’ve been craving a go at this layout since last November’s class, and It was so much fun to finally craft! This is 100% lifted from the Story Kit Class content for Gratitude. The Gratitude Kit may honestly be my favorite next to Details. And love LOVE @aliedwards ‘s enthusiasm for gratitude in the class. (Seriously if you have it, just go watch the intro video for the gratitude class. It will uplift you and have you thinking about gratitude in unexpected places)

*Note: your photos and stories are YOURS, no matter who’s design it is!

+We need gratitude now more than ever 💛 #storykitcrush

These fire smokey days are the weirdest. 😢 And that’s saying something these days! Calls for trying out some felt ideas for comfort... can you stamp on felt? Let’s get weird with felt. 🔥😳 ✂️ #felting

Student Art 👆🏻Want to hear something optimistic? In an effort to support students from around the world, last Spring I was tasked with creating some unique curriculum that would engage students virtually and allow them to deal with feelings and thoughts about the pandemic, protests, racism, missing their friends etc. I created a pilot of several arts based language courses I’ve dreamed about for years. Because of the way art works in the brain and nervous system, it is a natural framework for learning a foreign language. This is some of the student art from our second Art Journaling class for high school age English Language Learners. I’m so impressed with them.

🌏Students learn a little color theory, 6 different techniques for art journaling and take a “noticing photo walk” for inspiration. English vocabulary and grammar is embedded and reinforced throughout and student talk time is high in class.

☮️ In the last week, they create a final “passion issue project” where they can choose any subject they were passionate about and create a layout about that using any/all the techniques in the class+ a journaling paragraph about their thoughts and feelings on the subject.

🎨 I love seeing their work and hearing them talk about their passions, and their dreams and concerns. Also seeing students from different parts of the world interacting and supporting each other beautifully gives me hope for the future! So just thought I would share this fun work, with student permission.

🌍 See @englishnowwashingtondc for more, and if you know an English language learner of any age, who might like to learn through the arts, or DM me! We have a photo class in the works, a creative writing class and another art journaling class starting next week.

Can you tell the difference? Swipe for fun game. In the first version I messed up the stamp, but Evan said it looked like a cool purposeful 3D thing 😏. Stamp was better on the second, but my frame lines were wonky. Don’t want to print again, so one version is getting the date stamp from May!

🌸 Amateur Tip: I find wetter inks work much better on pro-luster photo paper, which is generally my favorite photo paper. It’s almost matte, but not quite and has a lot of stickiness. #awilderstoryalbum #craftthestory #kellypurkeyshop #aliedwardsdesigninc #projectlife #memorykeeping

Another month prepped during Heba’s @hebaalsibai super fun live Sunday planning chat! So fun to stamp and chat 💛
🖊Same currently tracking grid, but trying out tracking a few different “currently” ideas this time for documenting. Switching it up according to what I most enjoy documenting in Project Life and scrapbooking.
✨Still working on getting that perfectly imperfect distressed stamp look the eludes me ✨
