My name is Kelsey and I am a true crime junkie with a love for stationery. I have been bullet journaling for a little over four years and throughout that time, my style has morphed its way into scrapbook style journaling. I started bullet journaling as a way to cope with trauma and the experiences I endured in life but was not processing properly. It has truly saved my life.
I have a love for textures and layers. I create my spreads as a means of memory keeping, and it has become quite therapeutic for me! Between going back to university to pursue my second degree, working full time as an accountant, and being a mother of two; journaling has become my “me” time and the thing I look forward to most. I recently started a YouTube channel where I tell true crime stories as I set up my journal for the upcoming month. Feel free to check my YouTube channel.
How do I create a scrapbook style spread?
I start by choosing my washi tapes of course! My creative process always starts by constructing a color palette. This is my favorite part of the process because it allows me to play around with my supplies and create a combination of colors and patterns that appeal to how I am feeling in the moment.
The spread I am creating here is what I call a therapy style spread. These spreads usually consist of feelings and emotions I want to relay to my therapist in one of our next sessions. For me, these spreads really help me process through my PTSD, and ground me in my daily life. Journaling can be so healing for those who struggle with mental illnesses. I can attest to that.
After choosing my washi, I move onto choosing the stickers, sticky notes, markers, and pens I plan to use for this spread. Overall, this is about a 5 minute process. But these 5 minutes are incredibly important for me. I use this time to really think about what I want to say in my journal and how I want to say it. Having this moment to think about what I am going to write about really kicks that writers block out of the picture.
Have you ever sat down to create a spread and then draw a blank? Try taking five minutes to play around with colors and patterns in your stationery collection and allow your subconscious thoughts to make their way to the front of your brain. I truly love these little “zen” moments before I begin to journal.
Then comes the fun part! It is time to get creative. Do not be afraid to try new things. One of the things I truly love about The Washi Tape Shop products is that each tape roll comes with backing. This stops your washi from sticking to itself, but you can also do things like crinkle it and create texture in your journal!
I always begin my spreads by playing around with layers. Before I take the backing off of my stickers or washi, I play around with placement to see how I like everything layered together. This helps with any indecisive feelings I have about placement. Here you can see I placed washi down first, then layered a sticker on top of the washi. The final layer is a transparent sticky note and I love the contrast between all of them layered together as the final result.
After creating an area of what I call “flare” I move onto creating my header. This is done with the same concept of layering and playing around with my supplies until I am happy with the result. Then I peel off the backing and stick everything in its place.
*Pro tip- write your header on a sticker! That way if you do not like it, you can try again. You can also layer over a header you do not like with a sticker, or by cutting a piece of paper and taping it over the mistake. One mistake does not mean you have to trash the whole spread. There are many ways you can be creative and fix it! I bet you could not even tell that I messed up under that washi with my header. I just layered over it and voila!
After about 15 minutes of creating – this is the result. I love to play around with composition and create little collages in each spread. I leave enough room to get my thoughts and feelings out. That way, when I am done writing, I can always go back and add more flare in the places that feel empty.
For this spread I loved the neutral vibes of the washi tape I chose, so I kept that color scheme in mind for the rest of my collages. I love the way that using different shaped stickers and sticky notes can transform an entire spread and give it so much character. I always spend a few moments admiring my spreads before the pen!
Then comes the most important part of the journaling process- the writing! I love to add in quotes that come to my mind while I am getting creative, or statements that stand out to me pertaining to how I am feeling.
I think adding little quotes like this also really helps the spread to look full and cohesive. Here I started with the quote to fill in that top area. This left the perfect amount of space to then write my feelings. Lastly, I added the date at the bottom to fill in that odd shaped empty space.
Here is the final result of a daily journaling spread. The total amount of time this took was 22 minutes. Not only does it allow me to be creative, have a moment to myself, and reset- it allows me to have a safe place to talk about my feelings.
Daily scrapbook journaling has become such an important part of my routine. It has helped my mental health in more ways than I thought possible. One of those being my memory. If you struggle with memory loss, PTSD, anxiety, or depression, I truly believe that this journaling style can be beneficial for you! Play around with it and see what you come up with!

I’m posting this review to warn others about cryptO investment scams that are becoming more common online. Scammers often create professional-looking websites and pretend to be financial experts to gain your trust.They will show you fake profits to encourage you to invest more m0ney, but when you try to withdraw your funds they demand additional payments such as taxes, verification fees, or withdrawal charges. If you encounter something like this, stop immediately and do not send more money. Always verify the legitimacy of any investment platform and report suspicious activities to the proper authorities.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com
My Successful Recovery
My experience was neither exciting nor uplifting, but in the end, it served its purpose. I have struggled with a chronic health condition for years, which has drained my finances through ongoing treatments. Looking for a stable and sizable income, I came across an online ad claiming I could earn 100 times what I invested. The process seemed simple and the promises tempting, so I decided to take a chance. I invested $30,000, and within hours, my account showed significant profits. Eager to cash out, I attempted to withdraw the next day, only to be told I needed to pay additional fees something I refused to accept. The platform refused to release my funds. I reached out via phone and email, but received no response. My advice to anyone considering such schemes: steer clear if you’re not well severed in crypto or digital currencies. Their tactics became increasingly aggressive, pushing me to invest more. Frustrated, I reported the issue to local authorities. A detective recommended I consult a specialized cybercrime expert experienced in cryptocurrency scams. That advice turned out to be lifesaving. I quickly contacted TREK Tech Corp, submitted my complaint through their website’s live chat, and provided all necessary evidence. They responded immediately. This skilled team, renowned for their expertise in recovering stolen crypto assets, managed to recover all my funds from the wallet I had transferred them to. Their reputation as a top tier cybersecurity firm in digital asset recovery is well deserved. TREK Tech Corp is committed to exposing and eliminating online scammers.
