Start with one small arrangement
Write the overlooked detail first, then one thing to return to in the lower section.
Give each piece a job
Keep the main message on Small Joy Cards; its first prompt is Today felt like. Arrange it beside this piece before deciding what to attach. Use a Today or A pause label to identify the memory without covering its main writing space. Paper, scissors and glue are enough for these suggested paper arrangements; use your own photo or saved paper only if it belongs to the story.
Measure your journal page
The writing panel is 136 × 216 mm on either A4 or Letter paper. It is smaller than a full sheet of stationery and larger than a note-card insert; check your own page before trimming.
