New week…

I’m super excited to be playing in my planner again and creating some fun pages!! For this week’s spread, I used This is Now: Misc Paperie, Miscellaneous Collage Bits and Bobs 1, and This is Now: Misc Bits and Bobs by Rachel Jefferies. I use a Happy Planner with the dashboard layout and it’s perfect for my life right now.

July-Planner-1

I took each of the elements and created my own sticker sheets. I print them and  cut them with my Silhouette Cameo. Have you ever used digital elements to create planner stickers? I am still learning, but it’s such fun!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Planner Peace…

I honestly haven’t decided if there is or not, but I am having fun figuring it out and my planner has really helped me out tremendously. I wanted to do a whole post on this because I did abandon my Heidi Swapp. It’s not that I didn’t like it, I just wanted to try something new.

First, I bought a Big Happy Planner. I was going to buy a Teacher Happy Planner but found the regular planner at a really great price and decided I could modify it to meet my teacher needs and so far it’s been great! I am simply using thin pastel washi tape to split the 3 daily sections in to 6 and I added an information section to the front with class lists, meeting notes, parent contact, etc. I haven’t taken any photos recently, but here is one when I was playing with sectioning it off before school started:

It’s really working out well and I am really loving it. Then I started thinking that maybe I needed the smaller one for my home stuff. Again, trying to justify spending the money. And then I realized that I already have some fantastic calendar pages and inserts in Just Jaimee’s Story Planner Kits!! So, I went on a mission to make my own version of the happy planner! I found some great covers and inserts at Planner Addiction, ordered some discs, and a punch, and got to work.

This is the cover:

The full year calendar is a freebie from the MAMBI site and is the inside cover.img_1847

 

The tabs aren’t exactly what I want, but I hope to update them when I have time. This divider is from Just Jaimee’s Story Planner September Kit. img_1848

 

The monthly and weekly calendars are from Just Jaimee’s Story Planner A5 System and these pages are decorated with the September Kit.img_1849img_1850img_1851

 

I added a Grocery List and Menu Planner insert each week and they are both from Jaimee’s A5 System. img_1852img_1853

 

I’m also adding a journal card to each week to note any memories that I might not have room for on the pages. Not pictured is the photo pocket, so that I can add a couple of photos for each week. img_1854img_1855

 

I am really loving it so far and printed enough weekly pages to get me through December or January. I’ll try to get some more photos this week of how I have updated things. Happy Planning!! Peace, out…
