week 47 [planner love]


moleskine-planner




This week was supah fun to decorate.  It was my birthday week, so I really went all out with homemade stickers [including a hello kitty Dalek!].  I've been pretty consistent in using my planner for both "home" & "blogging".  The left side of the pages is where I put blog specific tasks & reminders.  The right side is where I put life and home tasks & reminders.  This has been working really well.

I've added in the use of stamping this week with my planner.  I purchased some super cute planner related stamps at Michael's and have added that into my decorating routine.  You'll especially see this in the upcoming weeks.

My birthday was on Wednesday, && I had to work.  Blah.  I also felt HORRIBLE so that wasn't that much fun.  Sunday you'll see a page flag that says "Gotcha Day".  I was adopted, and my parents always celebrate the day they got to bring me home from the hospital.  So that's what "Gotcha Day" is, aha.  My dad took me out to dinner that night, so I did get some birthday celebration in.

||What I Used||

Links to the printable flags && tear drops:

For the Dalek and the Happy Birthday sticker, I just searched the images, downloaded, scaled, and printed onto full sheet sticker paper.  Then I used my x-acto knife to cut them out with.

I used Hampton Art Alphabet Stamps
Heidi Swapp Stamp Set in Cherish from Michael's
Recollections Stamp Set [I seriously cannot find the name of this set anywhere]
StudioG pigment ink
Washi Tape from Office Depot

Ultra Fine Point Sharpie in Black
Pilot Frixion Clicker pen in Purple

Yesss... my decorating is starting to get more extensive which I originally wasn't going to do.  I just really enjoy this creative outlet weekly.  It definitely has more to do with a creative hobby than the "need" for a pretty planner.
