Planner Friday - December

Oh my gosh!  I can't believe how quickly December has flown by!  I have been trying to squeeze every last drop of festive fun out of the month and I still feel like it has passed me by!

Hello Christmas Trendy Page Dots

Washi Tape

For my last Planner Friday post of the year I want to show you how I have decorated this weeks spread.  I have a lot of things I still need to do before the big day so I thought making the pages pretty would help me keep calm and not panic too much!

I used washi tape at the top and bottom of my pages and then matched that with some lovely Christmas Trendy Page Dot reinforcements.  As well as looking nice and colourful the Trendy Page Dots protect my pages from tearing if I am leafing through them too quickly.  I think everyone who uses a ringed planner knows the pain of ripping a page so these are fantastic!

Let It Snow Christmas stamps

I love using APB's Christmas stamps in my planner, there are so many different quotes to choose from it is easy to find something that fits perfectly!  I have also been using them to embellish my Christmas card envelopes and gift tags this year so they are practical as well as fun. 

For my to do lists and reminders I used the Check It Off, At Home and More At Home sets and as it is the last week of school I have quite a few events to attend so the School Days set covered those for me.  Seeing so many notes and tasks in my planner usually makes me feel stressed but all the decoration just makes me smile and even more determined to get everything finished so I can enjoy the holiday!

 

My week so far

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year, I'll see you again in 2018!

Planner Friday - December

It's here, it's finally December and I can let all my festive spirit out!  I absolutely love this time of year and I reflect that in my planner pages.  I have a million and one things to do in preparation of the big day but I don't feel stressed because I have a to do list (or three!) to help me stay on track!

The Check It Off Planner Stamp Set is perfect for creating your own to do lists.  As well as my regular weekly to do items which I list on my diary pages I also use this set to make larger lists and plans.  I like that there is an assortment of different style check it boxes instead of just being circles or squares, I think the hearts and star stamps are really fun but still practical!  I love the satisfied feeling I get when I tick something off my list and know that I have one less thing to complete or remember!  

There are also some different banner stamps in the set which I like to use for highlighting important dates or reminders on my pages, they can be used as decorative stamps too. 

My week so far

This is my first Christmas themed week in my planner, I went with traditional colours and added some glitter too because if ever there was a season for a bit of sparkle it is this one!  

If you need to get on top of your festive planning then stop by the store now and treat your self to some supplies!

I'll be back in January so I will wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year now and I hope to see you again in 2016!

Planner Friday - June

Hello!  Planner Friday is officially one year old so I wanted to do a special theme for my pages to celebrate.  I decided gold and black was the way to go, it puts me in the mind of a classy cocktail party and I think it looks quite sophisticated.

Get It Done Planner Stamp Set

Washi Tape

I received the newest set of stamps from Annies Paper Boutique this month.  It is called the Get It Done set and it has some great stamps in it to help you get organised!  You can see all of the stamps in the set in the photo above but my favourite one is the post it note image.  It has been designed to fit 3x3 inch post it notes or you could just use it to stamp onto notepaper as a way of highlighting your reminder or notes.  There is also a selection of stamps that fit in the top box of the post it note so you can pick the one that works best for you.  You can choose from ten different ones, from Goals and Shop to Urgent and This Week.

   

Get it done stamps in action

I used the Don't Forget stamp for my list of things I needed to pack and sort out for my daughter's trip to London yesterday.  I stuck the post it note on my page marker so I could see it every time I opened my planner.  I think it looks so much nicer than if I had written on a plain post it and it makes it stand out more so my eye was drawn to it straight away reminding me to get it done.

My week filled in

I hope you have enjoyed this Planner Friday!  I will be back with some more ideas for you next month, in the mean time why don't you stop by the store and see if anything takes your fancy?
