From 12x12 Scrapbooks To Travelers Notebooks
- Katrina identifies as an OG scrapbooker who retired from 12x12 pages after her first husband's death in 2014.
- She still preserves memories via traveler's notebooks and smaller projects rather than full 12x12 albums.
Paint One Moment, Journal Another
- Katrina follows Samantha Dion Baker's approach: pick a single daily object and paint it in a small journal alongside journaling in a traveler's notebook.
- This two-format habit boosted her confidence and forced focused attention on small moments.
Use Printables To Stretch Your Supplies
- Use printables to mix and match themed artwork without buying bulky physical pads.
- Katrina suggests printables let you create seasonal or project-specific pages affordably and flexibly.
