week 7 2015 [planner decoration]

So I missed week 6... I write these a week after they happened, and week 7 was incredibly busy.  I didn't get much blogging done in week 7.  My family had no school Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and then the following Monday.  When everyone is home, I prefer to spend my time with them.  So my schedule is all sorts of wonky from that awesome time off to spend with them!

My son also had a weeks worth of pit band performances for the High School musical.  They did Guys and Dolls.  It was fabulous and I'm so proud of him.  He's such a talented musician.

I also purchased a new camera [YAY]!  I spent a lot of time this last week playing with it and learning the ins and outs of manual photography.  I'm seriously loving it you guys!  I purchased the Canon Rebel t5i and it's a beauty.

This week was Valentine's week.  I love Valentine's Day.  Any excuse to break out the pink and red and spread it all around... I'm IN!  I honestly can't tell you where I purchased the Valentine's washi featured this week.  I went NUTS and purchased tons of Valentine's washi from Wal-Mart, JoAnn, and The Dollar Tree.  I don't know what came from where.  I have enough Valentine's washi for the next 5 years I swear...

I made the pink insert with the arrows [details below].  The Valentine's Day sticker came from the Target One Spot.  It's raised to be 3 dimensional which I don't normally like in my planners, but I loved this sticker.  The ADORABLE cupid piggy stickers I found at Walgreens.  It's Hallmark brand.  They're a little glittery and they make me smile every time I look at them.  The french macaron paper clips I made myself from polymer clay.  You can find them in my etsy shop!  I will be adding gold french macaron paper clips tomorrow!

To make my insert I picked out a project life card, used Post-It flat tabs, and a hole punch.  I use these inserts to keep detailed lists on the back side while adding some extra cuteness to my week.  I apply my list on the back with a sticky note or re-positional tape so that I can reuse the insert.  Just mark where your holes need to be on the Post-It Tab with a pencil.  Then hole punch them out, and cut slits in the hole.  This will allow you to attach it to the rings of your planner if you have a spiral ring planner [like Erin Condren or Sugar Paper].

I'm so excited for things to come...  With my new camera I'll be doing "Plan With Me" YouTube videos very soon!  I'll also be adding in new items to my etsy shop.  I hope that you'll enjoy this planner journey with me!  I appreciate you all and couldn't do it without you.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
