SBC | January 2016 Planner

Hi friends,

I'm sharing a planner spread on the Scrapbook Circle blog today using their January Fresh Start kit.

Here's a look at how I'm planning out my month.

I used the main kit along with the Shine and New Day Add-ons.  I do my planner ahead of time - at the beginning of each month  and write down all of my deadlines and special dates such as events and birthday's and then I add to it throughout the month. The Fancy Pants Happy Place Mixed Word and Shape Puffy Stickers (included in the main kit) are perfect for planning. 

This kit is great for planning, if you haven't already, stop by today to pick one up in the Scrapbook Circle store.

Pink Paislee | Memory Notebook

This is a personal blog. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of http://canoncreativegirl.blogspot.com/.  I do receive financial compensation and material product from Pink Paislee to develop my craft posts, but all ideas and opinions are my own.

When I first saw the Memorandum Memory Notebook by Pink Paislee I immediately fell in love and just couldn't wait to get started!  As a busy mom of two, anything that makes my life easier and helps keep track of my schedule is a plus!  I love the design of the notebook.  It is so easy to customize and style to fit your needs.

I use it to write down my schedule, goals, and important dates, that I need to remember throughout the month.

As activities happen, I snap photos and use my notebook as a way to document the event.  This has been a great way for me to keep track of places that we went to, and add some simple journaling.

I love the paper clips and die-cut tabs included in the office supplies pack.  They really added to my pages and helped bring them together.  Another favorite of mine are the cardstock photo frames with gold details.  I could not get enough of these, I used them throughout my notebook.

I wanted to add in an extra insert into my notebook and was so inspired by my fellow creative team member Raquel, that I decided to create my own out of the clear acetate paper with gold paper clips. Want to learn how?  Follow the steps laid out in her blog post to learn how to do this.

I also used Raquel's technique to add the love memory folder to my notebook.  It holds important notes about our recent trip to a family festival.

To create my last two pages, I first started by cutting out the "You Were Born To Be Amazing" quote from the gallery prints pack.  I wanted to place it near my daughters photo to remind her to be amazing.  I finished by adding a simple frame, washi strips and Heidi Swapp Coral Color Shine.

Overall, I just love how it all came together, and cannot wait to document more fun events!

Scrapbook Circle | Planner Addict

Have you all jumped on the planner craze yet?  I bought this awesome Hello Beautiful planner month's ago, and up until now I haven't done much with it.  My assignment at Scrapbook Circle this month encouraged me to jump in and get planning!  I used their July You Are My Favorite Kit and added a few pieces from the add-ons.

I love the bits and pieces included in this month's July You Are My Favorite Kit and Add-on's, they are perfect for adding simple touches to my planner.

On my calendar page for the month, I write out ahead of time, things that we have scheduled, and then as things come up and we do them, I add them to the calendar.  Bits and pieces from the main kit (July You Are My Favorite) and the July Let's Do It add-on and That Was Fun Add-on helped me to really make my pages stand out.

I hung Crate paper confetti Tassels from the binder rings on my pages.  I used a fine tip pen and Jillibean Soup Mini Alphabet stickers (included in That Was Fun Add-On) to document our plans.

The washi tape and wood veneer shapes (included in the That Was Fun Add-On) helped

bring life to my pages.

I also used a lot of the Confetti Ephemera pieces through out my planner and tucked them in here and there using pockets and paper clips (not included in kits).  My planner is now set, and ready to document lots of memories!
