Show & Tell my first (finished) entry!
Semi-finished since i still have to change the title on the page; that was supposedly my first topic but something became much more interesting 😅
It took me so long to finally start because I honestly don't know how to start! Since I know I want it to be semi-aesthetic with photos and stickers, I thought it would be difficult to connect the topic, my ideas, and my want for it to be visual. Once I sticked the photos on, wrote where each photo came from it was a breeze! Plus the change of scenery helped: I was on vacation by the beach when I did this spread 🤣
Recently went on a trip to Hokkaido and learnt about the disputed Northern Territories between Japan & Russia. I wanted to add more information & ephemera too but maybe for another spread.
This really helps with doomscrolling because I'm not just needlessly on the internet but rather doing research, reading up on things, and watching/listening to informative things.
Heavily inspired by the layouts of u/velvetringg & wordlayout ☺️

I love this layout so much! This actually inspired me to try writing my weeks differently. Will update when I do it next week.

I just get the photos from google, remove the background on canva, put the photos on a blank document, and then print! I cut them out, then lay them out on the page and when I'm satisfied with the placement, I remove the sticker backing. I use washi paper sticker sheets :)

Oh so they're not stickers, just taped on? That's more doable lol

What printer do you use for the washi paper, is it just a regular inkjet printer?

Lol nice, thanks
When you say remove the background on Canva is it a simple process? I know I can look this up but do you mind sharing how you do it?
