week 3 2015 [planner decoration]


I was really feeling Hello Kitty this week!  I sat down to pick out what I wanted to use, and remembered I had a Hello Kitty sticker book that I purchased from Old Navy on Black Friday.  A lot of the stickers are very large, so I haven't used them much.  Since I'm still trying to figure out how to use all the space available in this Sugar Paper planner, I decided to pull out the sticker book.

The insert I made [details below] has a list of my FlyLady Zone Missions for the week on the other side.


Here's the pages without my insert I made.  The sticky note has my FlyLady Zone to do's for the week.  If you're unfamiliar with FlyLady you should definitely check it out.  Then once again, I put the FlyLady zone of the week in the top left hand corner.  The TV show stickers I made myself.  Now that the holiday season is over and shows are back to their regular schedule, I need a reminder to watch them.



||What I Used||

Stamps: Recollections Stamps, Kate Spade rotating stamp, Studio G ink
Pens: Sharpie Pen/Black && Frixion Pen/Black
Washi rolls: Purchased at Walgreens, Office Max, JoAnn, & a swap [I realize I once again forgot a couple washi's in the details picture...ugh]
Stickies: Flag stickies are from JoAnn dollar section.  Black/White sticky note pad was from a swap
Hello Kitty paper clips: large was purchased at Walgreens & the little one was a Christmas present [I have a huge set of them]


I made my insert using a page out of the Teresa Collins Studio Gold paper pad, Hello Kitty sticker book from Old Navy, Post-It tabs, and a hole punch.  I used a 1/4" hole punch for the Sugar Paper planner.  All you do is mark a spot on the tab where each hole needs to be, punch it, cut a slit in each hole, then you can pop your insert into your planner.

I like to do this so I have extra room for long lists, reoccurring lists, and to add something pretty that I can reuse.  I never attach my lists permanently to the card stock.  This way I can reuse it.

How was your week?  What was your Planner deco theme?
