Plan With Me - Creative Planner

I decided to turn my light pink Color Crush Planner into a creative planner for myself. It will be used to write down ideas, plan videos and blog posts and keep myself on schedule,

You can see the video on how I created it on my channel today.

I wanted this planner to inspire me as soon as  open it so I am going to add some of my favorite things to the pages. I used the My Minds Eye On Trend 2 collection filled with beautiful colours and fun icons to make the dividers. I traced the old dividers onto patterned paper and cut them out.

I layered tags, die cuts, patterned paper and embellishments on each divider.

I will share rest of the inside pages Wednesday showing how I plan to use the inside pages and planner portion to keep myself on track.

thanks for stopping by.

Be Yourself

Here are some photos of the project I did for my last video using an American Crafts Clipboard and the On Trend 2 collection from My Minds Eye.

I love the colors and icons in this collection especially the cute flamingo.

I love using wood to embellish and this collection has some cute wood veneer pieces.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friday Inspiration - Quotes

Welcome to another instalment of Inspiration Friday. Today Joy and I are taking our inspiration from quotes. I decided to make a decor piece for my craft room and wanted to use the fun On Trend 2 collection from My Minds Eye which is full of my favourite things.  My favourite colours, flamingos, pineapples, cactus, flowers and gold.

First I scoured Pinterest and found these fun quotes about flamingos:

I love this I might have to do a layout or Midori page and use it lol.

Yep - who gives a flock!

Love this one...

I settled on this one:

I used my American Crafts Clipboard as the backdrop and created this fun piece to hang up.

You can see the video showing how I created it on my channel here

Pineapple Love part 2

Here is the second project I made with my Pineapple stamp.

I stamped the image on wood discs to make a fun decor element for my office. I change this board out all the time with what is inspiring me at the moment.

I colored in the image with gel pens, markers, pencil crayons, gelato and more. You can see all of them on my video.

Totally loving how this turned out and it reminds me of California and Disneyland two of my favorite things. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the video showing how I created this fun decor.

Let's Get Creative

I have a new video series starting on my YouTube channel today called "Let's Get Creative". I am challenging myself to use my supplies in fun and creative ways. For my first video I am using this pineapple stamp from the Amy Tangerine Finders Keepers Collection and trying to use it three different ways.

I am not a stamper at all but I love this stamp (and all things pineapple right now) and wanted to think outside the box and come up with some fun ways to use it.  First up I used it as a stitching template and you could really do this with any stamp as long as it's not too detailed.

I stamped it on some kraft paper and then stitched the image using a simple back stitch for the top and outline then filling in the pineapple with french knots. I added them to this cute frame from Target filled with some cuties in their Stitch hats.

To see another pineapple project check back on my blog later this week.

Plan With Me/Project 365

Hi all, I am up today with a new YouTube video for March Plan With Me/Project 365. I am showing I use the Simple Stories Carpe Diem planner to plan and highlight my Project 365 Photo a day as well.

Here are a few photos from the memory keeping side of things.

I am using the Simple Stories 6x8 page protectors to hold my photos and I show you how to add them into the planner binder in the video.

I write out all the details on the last page of the month then add number stickers to correspond to the photos.

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you next month with a new Plan With Me/Project 365 video.
