I wasn’t two chapters into reading Crazy Rich Asians, when I thought to myself, “You know…I’m not exactly sure where Singapore even is.” At which point, I pulled out my phone, opened up the Maps app, and zoomed into the tiny island-country off the southern tip of Malaysia. Next thing I know, I looked up to find that I had spent the better part of an hour exploring the islands and countries of the South China Sea. It was amazing how much I was able to learn about this great big world that I live in without ever having to leave the comfort of my pool chair.
This is the story that I am telling this month in my 6×8 layout using the ADVENTURE Story Kit™ from Ali Edwards.
I also used the kit to create this Project Life spread documenting a weekend trip that Tripp and I took last year.
I think that’s one of the things I love these story themes…and that is how layered and nuanced they are. They can be used for the obvious (or more literal) interpretation of the theme, but I also love the idea of exploring (pun totally intended) other ways that this sense of adventure can translate into other parts of our lives. And I love how Ali’s intentional memory-keeping products help me to do just that.
As always, thank you for letting my share my stories and memories with you.
Love, Kelly
I absolutely LOVE how you used the components of the Adventure kit to make these Project Life spreads and the 6×8 layout! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing as it really gives me good ideas!
Thank you so much Mary! I’m happy to know that it inspired you!
Love this! I definitely have to add “adventures in reading” to my list of layouts to create. TV is all in repeats, so I have been reading in all of my spare time. Thanks for the prompt and for the layout shares. Have a good rest of July!
Thanks Carrie! You too!!
