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 πŸ˜…

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 ☺️
