Planner Friday - June

Yes!  It's finally summer!  I feel like I have been waiting forever for it to arrive!  I was so excited for the beginning of the season I dedicated a whole page to it in my journal this week!

I  wrote myself a list of things I like to do in the summer on a cute tag and popped it in my journal along with some strips of washi tape to brighten things up.  I used the lined stamp from the Check it off set to give me a couple of spaces for some summer quotes and I added a mini calendar card for an overview of July.

I used some of the image stamps from the Foodies, Drinks & more and Perfect pairs sets to show things I enjoy during warm summer days like adding ice cream to desserts, a cold glass of wine and iced drinks with a straw.  I also made the quote "Lazy days are the best days ever" using a couple of stamps from the Feeling funny and Documenting the everyday sets and writing in the rest myself.

Lastly I saved a space on the page to added a photo of us all having fun in the sun with another of the Documenting the everyday stamps and there are still some blank spaces left for me to write a few memories of July down later on too.

Planner Friday - July

Hello!  I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and I'm here for another Planner Friday!  I love to create pretty and practical planner pages using products from Annie's Paper Boutique, they help keep me organised and have some fun while I do it too!

Feeling Happy Planner Stamp Set

My pages are usually pretty full when my children are at school, there always seems to be a club, assembly or performance going on that I need to write down!  Now it is finally the summer holiday here in the UK I have quite a lot of empty space to play with so I decided to break out my journaling stamps again.  I haven't used them for a while and I thought it would be nice to record how I am feeling each day.  

Journaling stamps 

Between them the Feeling Funny and Feeling Happy sets have over 60 different stamps to choose from so it is quite easy to find one that covers how you are feeling.  Also recording my mood in my planner makes me more mindful of negative emotions, knowing I am using one word to sum up my day gives me a little push towards staying positive.  On Tuesday I started off the day feeling lazy (and yes, there is a stamp for that!) but instead I gave my head a shake and decided I would get things done so my word for the day ended up being "Determined" as I ploughed my way through my tasks! 

My week so far...

Thank you so much for joining me for another Planner Friday!  If you are feeling inspired to get organised why not stop by the store and check out the planning supplies?  I hope to see you again next month!

Planner Friday - March

Hello!  It is Planner Friday again and I am here to show you how I have been prettying up my planner pages this week.  If you don't already know me, I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and if you do, hi and welcome back!  

This week I decided to indulge my little fox obsession and based my theme around it.  As usual I used my At Home planner stamps and the School Days set to help me keep track of the things I needed to do or remember.  Monday was going to be an especially busy day for me so I used a journal tag to to hold the extra info I needed.

How's The Weather Planner Stamp Set

How's the weather stamps

I have a new set of stamps to try out in my planner this month too.  I only received them on Tuesday but I had to use them straight away as they are so cute!  I had been counting down the days until March and the beginning of spring this year, all I want is some warm breezes and a bit of sunshine!  The day the stamps arrived was actually the first glorious day of the year so it seemed right to mark the occasion with the smiling sun stamp!  There was a lot of rain here yesterday but we were treated to a gorgeous rainbow in the afternoon so I recorded that too.  I think these stamps are great fun and would be perfect to use in your journal or if you wanted to remember what the weather was like on a special day or occasion.  

My week so far

As you can see I punched a couple of holes into the journal tag and added it on to the rings of my planner so I wouldn't loose it.  I also used the Feeling Funny stamps to record how I have been feeling this week.  I like to use a different colour ink when I use the journalling stamps as it helps me keep my to do lists and reminders separate from them.  

I do have another new set of stamps to share with you but that will be in my post next month.  They are already listed in the store though so if you can't wait to see them you can check them out now!

See you in April!

Planner Friday - February

Hello!  I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and I am back for the second Planner Friday of the year!  I use my planner to keep me organised but I like to have fun decorating my pages too.

This week I am using these new Foodies Planner Stamps to add a touch of cuteness to my pages.  I think they are adorable! I have used them to mark special days in the week like taco night (my favourite!), Shrove Tuesday and a family trip to Pizza Hut for a treat.  The set has a nice mix of word and image stamps so they are very versatile!

Planner Friday - January

Hello!  Welcome to the first Planner Friday of the year!  I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and once a month I share my ideas for prettying up your planner. 

The start of a new year is when a lot of people make a resolution to get more organised and using a diary or planner is the perfect way to start.  I get bored with plain pages in my Filofax so I like to decorate them and make them more fun.  I start with choosing a washi tape and adding a strip of it to the top and bottom of the page and then I use my Trendy Page Dots reinforcements for another pop of colour.  Annies Paper Boutique has a range of planner stamps which I love using as they look so neat and tidy, they also save me from having to write the same reminders over and over each week.  Lastly I add some stickers to complete the look but I make sure I leave enough space just in case I need to write a note or add to my to do lists.

Another resolution people make at this time of year is to get more healthy and I am one of them.  I never drink the recommended eight glasses of water a day so I decided I was going to try and change that habit this year.  In the Drinks & More stamp set there is a Hydrate stamp and an Am/Pm one too so I am using these to record my water intake.  If I drink three glasses of water in the morning I check the box and if I drink three in the afternoon I check the pm box.  I'm trying to build it up to eight glasses but for now six will do.

Hydrate and Am/Pm stamps in use

This is how my week is shaping up now, as you can see I also use my diary pages to record how I have been feeling using some journalling stamps.  I like selecting the stamp that best reflects my day and they don't take up much room on the page.  I find it quicker and easier than trying to write about my day!

My week so far

If you have brought yourself a new planner or were given one for Christmas why don't you take a look at the store and see what goodies take your fancy?  

I will be back in February with a new post, I hope to see you then!

Planner Friday - November

Hello, welcome back to another Planner Friday post!  I will be the first to admit I have gone a little overboard with my decoration for this week but it is a week full of birthdays including my own so I wanted it to be fun.  I have just realised that I showed you a cupcake theme last month too, you must think I am cake obsessed!  Don't tell anyone but... it's true!

How my week started out

For such a big week I have used a lot of Annie's Paper Boutique products, I have listed them all below.

I like to use journal tags in my planner so I wanted to show you some of my favourite ones.  I use them to record special events, memories and quotes and for reminders and to do lists.  Because they don't have any holes punched in them you could use them for craft projects too or even as gift tags, they are very versatile!  

It's nearly Christmas so I have my Christmas tree clip

in my Filofax now!

How my week looks today

Can you believe there is only one Planner Friday left for this year?  2014 has flown by so fast!  I will be back in December for some Christmas themed fun so I hope to see you then.

There are lots of Christmas goodies in the store, now is the perfect time to stock up before it is suddenly December and things get crazy!

Thanks for stopping by

Planner Friday - October

Hello, I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and I write a monthly Planner Friday post here on Twine it up with Trendy Twine.  I think that prettying up your planner pages makes it easier to stay organised.  If my pages were plain I wouldn't refer to my Filofax as often during the day and then I would forget things and get myself in a muddle!  

I went with a cupcake theme this week, you can see the products I used in the photo below.  A couple of strips of washi tape and some Trendy Page Dot reinforcements and my diary pages are much more colourful and fun!

I have recently started using the School Days Planner Stamp Set, it is incredibly handy now I have two children in school and one in nursery/preschool!  The school year only started three weeks ago here in the UK but I have already had lots of events going on at the school.  There are also lots of after school clubs and activities going on that I need to remember, I have one child who has joined the school choir and football team and another who has joined the chess club and the school play.  Thankfully the one in nursery wont be joining any clubs for another year or two but either way this stamp set will keep me organised!   

School Days stamps in action

I don't have any cupcake stickers that would match the colours of the Trendy Page Dots and washi tape I have used this week so I am just drawing some, copying the ones on the tape.  They're not perfect but at least they all go together well! 

My week so far

I couldn't write an October post without showing you what I have planned for my Halloween week at the end of the month.  I love these Spooktacular Trendy Page Dot reinforcements and I used some Trendy Twine to make the bunting too.

I haven't used the School Days stamps on this week because it will be half term so the school is closed.  If it isn't a super busy week then I will have lots more room to decorate the pages.  I just don't know how much I will have on until nearer the time but without all the school reminders I should be able to fit in some more spooky bits and pieces!  

If you want to see how the Halloween week looked when it was all filled in let me know in the comments and I will show you in my next Planner Friday post.  If you fancy decorating your planner for Halloween then stop by the store and see all the scarily good things on offer!

See you next month!

So the photo above is how my week started out and the one below is how it is shaping up now.  I love using the At Home Planner Stamps, they save me having to write out the same tasks over and over again each week.  It is so much easier just to stamp them on my pages and I like how they look too, so much nicer than my handwriting!  

My week so far 

I had a few things I needed to do at some point this week so I wrote them down on one of the To Do Journalling Tags.  It has the same red and blue stars on it as the Trendy Page Dot reinforcements so I had to use them both together!  I also added a little Trendy Twine bow to the tag, I think it looks quite sweet.

My to do list

I have been using the Feeling Happy Planner Stamp Set to record my feelings each day for a while now and I just received the latest set of journaling stamps from Annie's Paper Boutique.  They are called the Feeling Funny Stamp Set and you can use them in conjunction with the original stamps or you can use them on their own as both sets contain the "Feeling" stamp.  I especially like the Hungry, Sleepy, Proud and Motivated stamps, they cover how I feel quite often!  I think between the two sets I have a stamp for nearly everything I could be feeling, it is a great selection.  

Feeling Funny Stamp Set

If you read my post last month you might remember I said I was going to start my Christmas planning this month.  So far I'm just thinking of gift ideas and things for our Elf on the Shelf to do during his visit but I am starting to feel a little Christmassy!  I want to show you the cute Christmas tree paper clips I ordered last month and some fun Christmas coloured Trendy Page Dot reinforcements that are available, I can't wait to start using mine in December.  

Christmas Tree Clips

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again next month!
