Too Cute to Spook!!!

My favorite Color is October! I am so glad October is here. As I sit here drinking a pumpkin spice latte and looking at my planner spread, October is what inspired me for this months for my divider set up. I used the Happy Haunting Collection Kit and had the opportunity to incorporate Just Nick digital cut files.

 

I started off by picking which digital cut file I wanted to work with and the Just Nick "31", "Happy Little Monsters', and scribbles" was perfect for what I wanted to achieve in my planner this month.

 

 I added Tabs to the dividers and I absolutely love the way they came out. It keeps everything organized and in it's place. The Orange and black with plaid and distressed paper and all the cool spooky stickers from the Happy Haunting Collection Kit was a match made in planner heaven. 

 

 

I wanted something spooky on my next divider and realized that everything was just too cute to spook! I was able to use the collection stickers and distressed wood paper and some of the Happy little monsters with scribbles to create an outside ghost Fest. 

The ghost Journaling Card made the perfect center piece on my next divider and decided he was going to be a planner nerdy ghost. Lol. 

 

Last but surely not the least is my favorite part of Creative Planning. The pockets! I know I probably mention that every time I blog, but it is so true. Once again I used the Just nick "31 and "Happy little Monsters" cut files to create paperclips. I added goggly eyes to add a little more characters to the little monsters, ghost, cat and I think they are so stinkin cute!

 

As the days get shorter and nights are longer, grab a cup of coffee and cozy up with a nice warm blanket and plan away.

I want to take this time to say a special thank you to Simple Stories and Just Nick for the privilege to use your products and create something fun and seasonal in my planner. I had a blast and will continue to use the cutting files and collection kit throughout all of October. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to stop by the blog.

October Fest!!

I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers, Anne of Green Gables. I love that quote.

Every time fall comes around I always remember it. This month I would love to see your October

Fest Planner spreads. Oranges, black, pumpkins, flowers, trick-or-treats, ghost, goblins, 

carnivals, hayrides, haunted houses..are just some of my inspirations for October. As I sit here 

eating candy corn, I decided I wanted to make personal dividers from several collection lines 

from the shop.

I focused more on the colors that reminded me of October. I punched out some tabs and typed 

the sections out and glued to dividers. I absolutely love making dividers and it's an awesome 

way to personalize your planner.

In the next three photos I will be showing a close up of the dividers. You will notice that I used 

one of the journaling cards from the Gather collection by Maggie Holmes and typed a scripture 

on it for my dashboard, I also noticed a spelling error. (Oops). I used stickers to add to the top 

of the dividers to add some dimension and washi tape for fun.

This, ladies is the product of my planner labor. How happy this makes me when I see my 

planner opened and ready for another Month of planning.

Thank you all once again for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you in some way. I would 

love to see what you do with your October Planner spreads, by simply heading over to the 

Paper Issues Friends and Fan Face Book Group. Remember by doing so you have an 

opportunity to win one of two gift cards to the shop. You have Until November 1, 2016 to enter. 

Happy Fall Y'ALL!!!

Happy Fall, y,all. Fall is my one of my favorite time of the years. I Couldn't wait to play around with the new Hello Fall collection. With all the Oranges, yellow, blues, and florals it makes it a perfect match for the New Posh Carpe Diem planner.

I made a dashboard and planner bookmark. I took one of the word stickers and attached it to the top and laminated them. I really enjoy doing this because it peaks out from the top of the planner and I don't have to worry about it getting ruined.

What I love most about fall are the leaves falling, pumpkin everything, family, cozy nights, boots, sweaters, scarves, hot drinks and woodland creatures. The changes of color and season makes me happy and is a beautiful reminder that change is ok and is needed. I believe I was able to add a little fall into my planner.

Thank you to all those that continue to stop by the blog and take time to read our post. Wishing everyone a wonderful new season, may it be filled with pumpkin spice and everything nice!

Carpe Diem Planner Trio!!!!

Wow! I am so impressed. Violet, here on the blog today to share my new Carpe Diem Planners. The gold rings and charms take my breath away, there is a simple elagance to the new planners that I love. I couldn't choose which to share, thus, why I have to share all three in a fun creative planning layout.

First up is the Pink Ballerina by The Reset Girl. I used the new collection line to make a new dashboard. I stuffed my pockets with Bits and Pieces, Metal Clips, decorative clips, journaling cards. I even laminated the sticky notes and inserted them into the pocket. The Pinks and Orange and mint greens look so gorgeous in the planner.

Secondly, is the new Ivory Carpe Diem planner. When I open it, the quote "Choose to Shine" is the first thing I see, and how beautiful, that it is all in Gold. I chose to decorate this planner with the Posh collection line. The yellow, pink and Navy are a perfect combination. 

Third, is the new Mint green Carpe Diem planner. One of the changes that I was so impressed with, was the whole planner being one solid color. I used all the same pieces to embellish all my planners. Another element that took me by surprise was  all the gold that is included in the journaling Card Elements and Paper products. This just adds just a bit more class to my planners and makes me one happy planner girl. 

As I was taking my photos for the blog, I knew I wanted to take a photo of all the new paperclips that are now part of the new collection lines. I've said many times how much I love paperclips and you'll even see some I made. These truly make all the difference when planning. 

Thank you all once again for stopping by the blog and taking the time to read and view my post. I really appreciate it. I hope I have inspired some of you to get your creative juices flowing and create something new. The new Posh and The Reset Girl Collections make it so easy.

August Plan on it Challenge

Hi! Everyone, August is here and I can't believe it. This months Plan on it Challenge is "The Beach Life".  I would love to see your planner spreads that are beach inspired. For this month I used Doodle "Fun in the Sun" It is so adorable and full of cuteness.

I decided to use my Traveler's Notebook for journaling this month and made some inserts. I started by cutting up and trimming the paper and embellished it with some of the 12x12 Paper sheets. I love all the bright pinks and greens and cool drinks. Makes me want to go grab one..

I also filled the clear pockets with the ephemera packs for future journaling. Ephemera is perfect for creative journaling, it allows you to express yourself in a unique way. 

The most relaxing and funniest part about my creative journaling is the preparations of my pages. I use acrylic paints, washi tape and stickers from Doodle bug Fun in the Sun.

One way I keep track of where I left off on my pages is by making planner bookmarks. They are so adorable and a great way to use up your scraps.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by the blog. Just a friendly reminder that by entering your photos on the Plan on it Challenge on the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook Group PIFF you will be entered to win one of two gift cards to the shop.
