Counting The Days

  

I start out the year with a brand new planner and, usually, January's pages get all prettied up.  Then, well, something happens and the other months might get a sticker or two!  I'd almost forgotten how much FUN it is to decorate a planner until I recently purchased Lawn Fawn's Plan On It: Birthdays set!

 

 My birthday is in August, so what better month in my planner to make pretty than August!  I started with Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow Petite 6x6 paper and then started stamping the numbers and adorable images from the Plan On It Birthdays set.  Of course, I couldn't forget to add the darling pinata in the Lawn Fawn Year Seven set which I chose to paper piece.

 

For the other months of the year, I'm using the cute rows of icons to make lists (including birthdays).  I'm definitely using those awesome numbers for the dates and use the images/words to mark birthdays and other special dates.  I love all the other Lawn Fawn's petite papers and can't wait to use those color themes on other planner pages!

See you again next week!

Paper Sweeties April Release Party!

 Today's the day!!  Paper Sweeties April Release is now available for purchase and I'm so excited to share a new card created with the new products:

 I adore spring and my card features a bright, springy wreath using the new Happy Spring set and dies.  I colored the flowers and bow with copic markers and added rhinestones to the center of the flowers - so fun!

Paper Sweeties April Plan Your Life Series!

 For Christmas I got a new planner from Santa!  I was so excited because I had wanted one to use just for my crafting.  Being on a few Design Teams, selling cards, having a full time job which requires travel, and keeping up with household chores,  I really need to plan to keep all the plates spinning!  

Of course, I wanted it to look fun, but hadn't done much in the way of decorating it until I started using Paper Sweeties' the Plan Your Life Series stamps!!  Debbie has created the most adorable images and perfect words for any planner/calendar and there are also blank digital calendar pages available!  It was so much fun - and easy - to decorate my planner and now I look forward to planning all my monthly activities!
