Planner Friday - July

Hello!  Welcome to Planner Friday!  I know for some of you the summer holidays began a while ago but here in the UK the schools don't finish until this afternoon and I really can't wait!  I wanted to do a tropical theme in my planner to celebrate the start of lazy days and endless sunshine (fingers crossed!) so let me show you what I used and how it turned out.

As always I started out with some washi tape and Trendy page dots to give my pages a splash of colour and then got out my collection of planner stamps to fill in my to do lists and reminders.  

My Planner Friday to do list

I also made myself a little Planner Friday card to keep track of what I needed to do for today's post and added a bit of Trendy bakers twine just because it's such a pretty colour!

My week so far

I am documenting my week using one of the newer stamp sets from Annie's Paper Boutique, they are so funny and give me a giggle when I am selecting which one sums up My day.  Some of my favourites from this set are "Didn't slap anyone", "Kept the kids alive" and "Overindulged in planner supplies" which is particularly apt for me!  I am using a different colour ink for these stamps so it is easy to see straight away what kind of week I have been having and I love the combination of pinks and greens together.

If you are feeling the urge to overindulge in planner supplies too then stop by the store now and see what takes your fancy!  Go on, treat yourself!

See you again next month!

Planner Friday - March

Hello!  It's Planner Friday again on the Trendy Twine blog and I am here to share some ideas for prettying up your planner pages.  I love starting off the week with a blank page and then creating something really fun that also keeps me organised!

There are a few different ways to decorate your pages, some people like to cover them in washi tape and stickers before they add their plans, some people draw or paint the most beautiful images and others like to decorate as they go along.  It is all down to personal preference and whatever works best for you.

I have found that using stamps in my planner saves me a lot of time and they make everything look nice and neat.  I like to get my to do lists and reminders down onto the page and then I decorate around them with cute image stamps and stickers.  Creating an attractive spread makes me more likely to open up my organiser and check my plans each day which in turn helps me keep on top of everything.

My week 

Do you ever decorate your pages?  I would love to know if you do or if you feel inspired to give it a go!  Don't forget to check out all the planner goodies in the store and I will be back again next month, I hope to see you then!

Planner Friday - December

I'm so excited, can you believe there are only two days left until Christmas?  I'm on the blog today to share with you the planner pages I created using some fun festive stamps from Annie's Paper Boutique!

My Christmas week

Being Christmas week I don't have a lot of appointments or commitments to write down so I had some extra space to play with when I started decorating the pages.  I used three sets of Christmas stamps to add some pretty reminders and these will also be great for when I document our holiday in my journal.

I absolutely love the New Christmas PJs stamp I have used on the 24th December as that is a tradition my mum started with me when I was little and I have carried it on with my children now too.  The Waiting for Santa stamp is a lot of fun as well, every Christmas Eve I take a photo of my three sitting on the sofa dressed in their new pyjamas and full of excitement and then we put our coats on, go outside and search the skies for signs of Santa's sleigh!

Naughty & Nice!

Pairing the But, Santa! journaling tag with the I've been Naughty & Nice! stamp made me giggle so I added a couple of strips of washi tape, punched some holes and turned it into a cute page marker.  

So that's my last post for 2016! If you want to pretty up your planner in 2017 pop over to the store and take a look at all the lovely planning supplies and stamps, you should find everything you need to get you started.    

I wish you happy holidays and hope to see you again next year!

Planner Friday - September

For me September is the biggest "get organised" month of my year, it is when the new school year starts and suddenly I have lots of places I need to be and things I need to do.  Over the summer holiday I get kind of lax with my planner because my days are less structured and I have fewer commitments but when September comes around I dive back into planning and it feels good to find my old rhythm again!

I used a couple of new stamp sets this week, the first is the More At Home set which is a fabulous addition to the APB planner stamp collection.  It has so many handy options for cleaning reminders like Countertops, Toilet, Cat Box, Living Rm, Family Rm, Mop etc I think between this and the original At Home set I have every stamp I could ever need when it comes to keeping my home running smoothly! 

No Adulting Stamp Set

The second set I used is really, really fun!  It is the No Adulting set and I love it!  A lot of these stamps represent how some of my days turned out over the summer, there was plenty of binge watching going on and a fair few Pyjama days too!  I am trying to be more productive now I am home alone again during the week but some times the calling of Netflix is too strong and I give in!  

My week so far

I am using a couple of paper clips to help me feel inspired and stay on top of things, the Plan and To Do remind me to make a plan and then carry it through.  Everything is easier when you break it down into small steps and complete them one at a time.

Have you been bitten by the planner bug?  Swing by the store now and check out all the lovely supplies you need to get organised!
