This week is National Stationery Week and I bet you are wondering what that means? Well, there is a whole website dedicated to ways you can play along and celebrate the week! I am participating in the 7 days of Stationery.

 Yesterday was Pen and Pencil Day and I have a confession, I am a pen addict! I love pens , all kinds fine tip, ball point, colorful pens, brush tip pens… the list is endless. Here is a photo of the corner of my work table in my art room.

If I had to select the top three pens I use on a daily basis, I would say Papermate Flair Pens, Inkjoy Gel Pens, and LePens

What are your favorite pens? Any I need to try? Thanks for stopping in and Happy Stationery Week! ~ Rebecca

Hello! Happy Monday! Today starts the day for A Week in a Life! I absolutely LOVE this project. This project is all about documenting your life for a week. No matter how MUNDANE or how EXCITING and event a week an be in your life, this is documenting it. Be sure to check out  Ali Edward’s blog for details. I use her printable daily sheets to create a booklet and document the day to day. I’ve created a quick video to show you my process. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram for daily photos of my progress!

Thanks for watching, Rebecca

There is just something about Spring and Eastertime that brings a renewal to the soul. It’s the time where everything is green and in bloom and although Spring storms can be fierce I love a downpour of rain. This week is Easter week so of course my planner is in full boom and filled with all things green and bunny related.

 I had purchased DoodleBug Design paper from the last ATX Planner Retreat from Preppy Planner Cat and was able to use the adorable papers to make dividers in this week’s setup.

 Keeping with the dashboard from last week, I added a few different clips to the inside pockets

 For my weekly layout I wanted to use ALL the SICKERS, so what started out as an accident ~ I stuck a clear bunny sticker right on top of the carrot washi~ there was no removing the clear sticker, but after a while it grew on me and I actually liked it. So I made another layered look (Friday).

 Of course my planner isn’t complete unless I add a bit of tassel love! A bit much? Never!!! HaHa!

 Hope this brought a little brightness to you day! Rebecca

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I know I’ve been behind on making videos Yikes! I have such a long list of ideas for videos and I hope to start scratching the list off by getting them created! I’ve started a daily bullet list in my mini happy planner and it really has helped me GET THINGS DONE! YAY!! In this video I flip through the last couple of months and talk about how I’m incorporating CHANGE in my life. Some of the things I feel I’m moving forward quite successfully and others well…. not so good. I am okay with that, I’m learning as I go and a BIG step for me is realizing where I need to add change and applying my thoughts into actions. As a people pleaser…eek… that is a BIG step for me. Last month’s ONE LITTLE WORD prompt from Ali Edwards was fun, it was creating a vision board, which I added a page spread to my Traveler’s Notebook. Take a look and see….

 Thanks for watching! See you soon!

On of the goals for this year is I want to be able to show people how others in the creative world can use my monthly kits. On instagram I put out a post to apply, it was rather simple, just show your style. I was so excited and  humbled to see everyone’s interest. I selected three ladies to be part of the Kit Crew for the next three months, after that I will post again for more applicants. Introducing the first Kit Crew:

Tessa

Lucia

 Jill

 I will be reposting on instagram, facebook and here to show their creations!

Thanks for stopping by! Rebecca

This week’s planner set up is all about Blue and Yellow! Earlier in the week I created a video showing how to use old dress patterns to decorate the dashboard of this planner.

The blue planner is a Recollection planner from Michael’s Craft Store. I used Yellow and Blue Cardstock to create the coordinating dividers. The card stock was thick enough I did not  need to laminate them.

 I used Blue and Yellow Washi to decorate weekly spread along with a variety stickers.

 Thanks for Stopping by! Hope you are inspired! Rebecca

Hello! I created a quick video to show you how I create planner dashboards using Vintage Dress Patterns.  I love the art and designs that cover vintage dress patterns and use them quite a bit in all my paper crafting projects. The ladies always look so stylish! I look for these dress patterns at thrift stores, garage sales or antique malls and can usually find them for about a dollar a piece.  I make copies of the covers so I can have more than one use out of each of the patterns. In this video I show you how I make a dashboard using one of the prints. What I love about this style of papercrafting is the ideas or endless. You can use old book pages, photos, anything that you love the images. Hope you are inspired to create something today!

Hello! This week is all about green in my personal planner, even the planner itself thanks to the Michaels’ Recollection Planner.

I have to say this green is a favorite! This week I used a vintage girl fussy cut from a dress pattern for the dashboard and dividers using bits and pieces from this month’s Bloom Kit. Of course since Friday is St. Patrick’s Day the tassel need to have clovers!

 On the weekly spread, I used stickers from The Happy Planner Stickers books and vintage honey girl stickers from The Reset Girl collection.

 An assortment of charms and baubles adorn the closure to the planner closure

 Hope your having a great week. We had a time change of Springing forward and my sleep is way off! Can I go back to bed now?? Thanks for stopping by, Rebecca

Hello! Welcome to my blog!! I wanted to share a quick video of a flip through  of how I documented the months of January and February 2017 in my Happy Planner. I use pretty paper, washi, diecuts and ephemera to embellish the pages and tell my story! Thanks for watching !!
