Planner’s Perfect Companion!!

Hello! Inspired By Stamping is releasing awesome, brand-new stamp sets this week!!! And I am over the moon that Pretty Planner Stamp Set is a part of this awesome new release. I am a big planner junkie and love to decorate to match my clean & simple style. Some people decorate every bits of their planner page, but I like to decorate without overwhelming the pages.

I recently purchased the Erin Condren Life Planner and still trying to customize to fit my needs 100%. I got to decorate and use the Pretty Planners Stamp Set as I went along. I wanted to share some close up pictures with you to give some basic ideas so you can incorporate it with your own planner!

Every week, I take out the stamp set and use on the days that I know for sure there won’t be any changes. Saturday and Sunday are my day offs to spend time with my hubby and fur babies so I make sure to mark to dedicate those two days. I take out the “Day Off” stamp from the set and stamp it with a color that coordinates with the weekly page’s color of the planner. I also use a small strip of wash tape on the bottom of the box to add some cuteness! This is something that I do on every weekly pages.

On the bottom of the weekly page, there are some extra lines you can write down whatever you want – like meal plans, extra daily thoughts, etc. I use this area to keep track of my workouts. I am a firm believer of rewarding myself when I do something I should do but I don’t like to do – like exercising!! So I use this cute “Striped Banner” stamp and stamp it on the bottom portion of each weekday. So when I am done working out for that day, I can draw a smiley face on the empty circle portion of the stamp and reward myself! It is also a good motivation for me, since I will look at it every single day.

I keep my monthly pages pretty blank – I love the cleanness of it. The only things I add are my regular blog post schedules, special days that call for a celebration, vacations, and family visits. I do not like to over decorate this area since it is easier to see how my monthly will flow by quickly looking at it.

I am so glad that there is “Birthday” stamp in the set. I get lots of family birthday’s throughout the year so this is important to me. I take out an ink pad that would go well for that month’s color scheme and stamp out each birthdays for that month. This way I don’t forget to send out a birthday card to my loved ones!!

Last but not least! We cannot forget about our vacation days, right? I stamp the “Vacation” stamp from the set for both my monthly pages and weekly pages. I also add on the “Double Arrow” stamp to mark any duration of upcoming vacations. This helps me to see the duration of any event easily. There are also couple of different washi tape designs in the set that you can use to mark special events of any length.

I hope you enjoyed peeking through my planner and see how I use the Pretty Planners Stamp Set. If you don’t have a planner, do not worry! You can use this set for Project Life, on your journal, and creating a fun accent for your cards. I will make sure to share more projects using this stamp set to show how versatile this stamp set is!

***Quick note: When stamping them on your planner or on your journal, make sure to use pigment inks, rather than die inks. This way you do not see the stamped sentiments on the other side of the page. I noticed that planner pages are usually thin and die inks peeks through quite a bit. (and this is something that bugs me lol)

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
