Planner Friday - Halloween special

Hi!  I'm Amanda from She's Eclectic and I'm the resident planner girl here on the Trendy Twine blog.  If, like me, you're a fan of paper planning then you will love the range of stamps Annie's Paper Boutique have created over the years!  There are practical everyday sets, school life stamps, journalling and scrapbooking kits, special occasion and holiday sets and some really cute image stamps too.

As it is almost Halloween I wanted to show you my spooky themed week I have created using some APB stamps!

Products used: Happy Halloween stamp set

Washi tape

If I can, I like to pair my pages's theme with a matching set of Trendy Page Dots reinforcements as they strengthen the paper around the holes and add an extra pop of colour to my spread.  For Halloween I had these awesome skull and pumpkin designs to work with!

Halloween Trendy Page Dots

As usual I started my decoration by adding strips of washi tape to the top and bottom of my pages, followed by the Trendy Page Dots.  

I have daily to do lists and reminders so I used the Check It Off set to print some tick boxes (or circles in this case!) and then added what I need to do and remember with the At Home and More At Home stamps.  Anything I don't have a stamp for I fill in with a pen.  

Any space I have left over afterwards I use for fun!

My Halloween themed week

I used the quote stamps from my Happy Halloween set on a few of the days and highlighted Saturday and Sunday with a Weekend banner.  For the pumpkins, candy and treats I used stamps from the Hello Fall, Foodies and Drinks & More sets and then coloured them in once the ink was dry.

The Happy Halloween stamps are on sale right now and you can find some more inspiration for how to use them here on the blog, why don't you take a peek now while you are here?

Happy Halloween and see you again soon for another Planner Friday!

Planner Friday - August

Amanda here from She's Eclectic. I'm sorry, I know it is still August and officially summer for a few more weeks yet but we are one day away from September and I can't wait for the season to change!  I've had a lovely summer but autumn is my favourite time of year and I'm ready for it to begin so my theme for this month's Planner Friday is very autumnal and inspired by APB's Hello Fall stamp set!   I wanted to create a monthly overview for September as my children go back to school next week and it's time to get organised again after a rather relaxed August so I opened up my TN and got to work with washi tape, stamps , pens and stickers!

Used but not pictured: Coffee paper clip

My colour theme for September is full of oranges, browns, yellows and reds with a bit of green mixed in there too based around the colours of autumn leaves.  I used the image stamps from my Hello Fall set to add some fun decoration to my pages and matched them with a leaf print washi tape to pull it all together.   I coloured in the fall images and then added a big coffee cup sticker because all I ever hear about in autumn is pumpkin spiced lattes!  I have never tried one because they really don't appeal to me but so many people seem obsessed with them maybe I should give one a go this year!

The next thing I did was to add all of my reminders and appointments etc to the month with my At Home and More At Home stamp sets and the start of a new school year meant that it was time to use my School Days stamps again too!  Until the children actually go back and get their new timetables I could only use the First Day of School stamp and the Club one to remind me that my oldest two need to return forms to select which after school activities they will be doing this year.  Once I know what and when things will be happening I can use the rest of the set to record things like PTA events, welcome back assemblies and the all important picture day!  I have left myself plenty of room to add these things over the upcoming weeks so it should be pretty easy for me to stay on top of things, fingers crossed!

September in my TN

This is how my month looks at the moment, there's nothing too scary on there just yet and hopefully it will stay that way but if things do get crazy I know I can handle it all as long as it is in my planner!

If you want to have a go at getting more organised or just want to check out all the planner stamps then stop by the store now and take a peek!

See you next time!

Planner Friday - May

Hello!  Welcome to Planner Friday!  I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and I'm here on the Trendy Twine blog once a month to share my planner ideas with you.

This month I used some Annie's Paper Boutique stamps to create a bullet journal layout about the things I love.  It was fun to sit and think about all of my favourite things and then getting them down on the page.

Things I love

I found lots of bullet journal inspiration on Pinterest and got some nice ideas for different kinds of banners and borders. Then I combined those with my APB stamps and doodled everything else.

To make the layout look more interesting I stamped and doodled horizontally and then wrote things down vertically, doing this also gave me more space to play with.

Planner Friday - Halloween special!

Last month I showed you a peek inside my journal, well this month I wanted to show you how I will be documenting our Halloween celebrations!  

Happy Halloween!

I absolutely love Halloween!  I have so much fun getting ready for it, decorating the house, carving pumpkins, making spooky treats and watching (family friendly) scary movies with the children, it's one of my favourite times of year.  This year I want to record some of my memories so I have broken out my Annie's Paper Boutique stamps and some colouring pencils.

Hello Fall planner stamp set

I have used the Documenting the Everyday sets to create spaces for me to fill in with stories about what we do on the big day and for where I want to add a photo to my pages.  The Foodies and Hello Fall stamps are great for added decoration, after all Halloween is all about pumpkins and sweeties!  The final set of stamps I have used is the new Happy Halloween set, it is full of spook-tacular words and phrases which are really fun and liven up my layout.  They are also perfect for making Halloween themed greetings cards and decorating your Halloween treat bags if you are feeling crafty.  You can find some fun projects here if you want some inspiration.

See you again next moth!

APB Stamps- Autumn Greetings

Hi Everyone!
Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot here to share
 a few cards using the new Hello Fall stamp set

from Annie's Paper Boutique.

These new stamps are so cute! 

Perfect for Fall Holidays!!

I made two card with the new stamp set.

First, I took some Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and heat embossed the images with

 Pirate Gold and White embossing powder. 

The first card, I used Pirate Gold embossing powder then 

used Distress inks and Markers to watercolor my images.

After I watercolored the images, I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen.

After that I added some gold splatters.

I love the sparkle and the pretty fall colors.

For my next card, I used white heat embossing powder and then colored the leaves with the Distress inks and markers.  Then I colored the background to help the leaves pop even more.

I wanted the leaves to look like they were blowing in the wind.

I added some Perfect Pearls mist for some pretty shimmer.

Close up of the card, hopefully the shimmer shows.

So soft and pretty!!

Hello Fall with the new APB Stamps

Hello everyone!

It's Tammy from Creating Somewhere Under The Sun, and and I am super duper excited to share with you the NEW Annie's Paper Boutique Planner stamp set called Hello Fall!!!

As you see from my card below, they can be used for more things than planners. I plan on giving this set a lot of use this fall.  I love to make treats for the holidays, and I know I will be incorporating this set in my fall treat packaging.  

I stamped the four images that come in the set onto white cardstock and colored in using copics.  I also used the images to create my own patterned paper by stamping the images with a watermark ink onto kraft cardstock. I took a length of Thanksgiving Orange Truffle and wrapped it around several times to add visual interest and texture.

I added more Thanksgiving Orange Truffle by creating a double bow which I added to the ribbon treatment at the top of my circular tag. I used a trinket pin to hang my Give Thanks sentiment. Lastly, I added my die-cut pumpkin and flower embellishments to complete my card.
