Plan with me week #5

February 1st-7th

Girl doll by StickersByGrace

Happy plan with me Monday, hope you all had a good weekend. So this week I'll be doing a no white space spread which I think I will be doing from now on. I went with a pink theme with valentines coming up this month.

So lets begin, I forgot to mention I'm going to stop showing the week blank because that's just boring right?

I started by placing down my to do and today sections. I used ombre checklist boxes in my to do sections but just cut off one space because I only wanted four. A two space check box in the today section for any appointments followed by a decorative full box.

I placed appointment boxes under the decorative ones to mark things my children need to do that night followed by my little things section. The half boxes are to write down pictures that I want to share on Instagram then three space check box to write down stuff I need to do for my blog.

Next I did the weekend. Used washi as a background for my weekend banner. Appointment boxes and half boxes to use like I do during the week. Saturday has a to do section and on Sunday where it says next week thats to mark down all my blog stuff for the following week.

Finally I placed washi along the bottom and filled in my side bar. Placed a spare decorative box over the month calender and added a to do, teeny tasks and to clean sections

This is the week all filled out for now

I think this is how I'm going to keep my layout for now on but we'll see, Hope you enjoyed this plan with me.

February month spread

This is the month of February plan with me and because the main thing going on in February is valentines day and my partners birthday I thought hearts and red would go really well.

This is February blank (well sort of I couldn't help myself)

Next I filled in any important dates or appointments and also filled in the boxes from January and March. I also put a to do section and bills section in my side bar. With it being a valentines spread I thought I would write everything in red and pink.

Finally I chose to add some more washi to the top and re-write the month, also added some decorative stickers. So this is February finished for now I'll add more things as the month goes on.

Hope you like how I decorated it, sorry for this being short but as I've been writing this I haven't been very well next months will be better.

Etsy shop feature #1

*Links and disclaimer will be at the bottom of the post.

StickersByGrace is ran by Sophie who sells a range of planner stickers from icons to weekly kits. She is a UK seller from Northampton. Payment to her shop needs to be through PayPal but don't worry if you don't have an account because once redirected to the site there is an option to pay without signing up. Postage in the UK is £0.95 and items are shipped between 1-3 business days. So of her kits are matte like the last one i ordered but these one's are glossy, her other stickers have the option for you to pick which you would like.

This is my second order from Sophie you can check out my first order here which will be used in next weeks spread. So because the kit I ordered before was so good I just had to order three more kits

Because valentines is coming up I had to order one of her valentines weekly kits for that weeks spread. Plus my partners birthday is in the same week so I thought the kit would work for that as well. The other kits will also be used through February.

Each of these weekly kits comes with:

• Sheet of 8 ombre check boxes
• Sheet of 8 decorative full boxes
• Sheet with headers, coloured dots, weekend banner and some daily icons
• Sheet with 12 appointment boxes, 8 half boxes, 2 flags and 3 tear drops.

I also received this free sampler.

Don't know what else to say apart from go check out her shop and if you do I have a discount code she gave me with my last order that you can all use. It's GRACE20 for 20% off orders over £7.00 and expires 31st March.

*Disclaimer: I'm not being paid to do this post, all the stickers featured were purchase with my own money. I was the one who want to tell you all about this shop because I think her stickers are great.

Upcoming etsy shop

*Disclaimer will be at the bottom of the post

So today I'm going to share with you some stickers by a lady named Ashley-Janne who is going to be opening an etsy shop. I came across her when she posted on a Facebook group page that she wanted a few people to take a look at her stickers and see if they were ready to sell. I noticed that she had already picked the people so I messaged her to say I missed the opening and would of loved to review them on my blog and if she could send me a link when her shop opened so I could order some then feature them in a post. She replied that she could send me three sets and would be happy for me to review them on my blog.

As soon as I opened them I knew I had to do this review ASAP and show you.

Ashley-Janne's shop will be called SmallStuffCreations. This is what she said about the shop "They specialise in the smaller, practical planner stickers. Aimed to make functionality fun." She is hopefully going to be opening the shop on 5th February. Price on stickers will be £0.80 for a sheet of 25 like in the picture and postage in the UK will be £0.80 flat rate unless you buy a million lol. All her stickers will be matte. Custom orders will be an additional £0.30 per sheet. She has no social media as of yet for the shop but is debating on a Facebook page.

These stickers would be great to use on inserts in a ring binder planner like a Filofax because of their size and would fit perfectly in the pockets those sort of planners have. But for me personally I've been finding it hard to find small enough stickers for my month view in my happy planner. These stickers are smaller than the icon dots made for Erin Condren or the happy planner.

These look great on my month spread so will defiantly be ordering some when her shop opens. When I've purchased some I will make another post to show you more of her stickers.

 

If you have any questions about her shop please leave it in the comments below and I will find out for you.

*Disclaimer: I have not purchased or been ask to do this review it was my own idea to let people know about her shop, the stickers were given for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.

Plan with me week #4

January 25th-31st

 Pink Geometric by TallulahHoola

Hey and welcome to another plan with me. Can't believe it's already the last week of January. I'm really enjoying doing these plan with me posts, I'm still not sure on where to place each section as you can probably tell a few things are in different places each week I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. So lets start.

Here's this week pre-planned with my sticky notes.

Next I place my to do and today section. I used a bit of washi to make a box for any appointment on the day.

Next is my little things and blog section. Again I used washi tape to make boxes for the things my children need to do that night, my Instagram/Facebook shares and a bit of washi to make a header for my blog section.

Last section to do is my weekend section. Washi for the background behind my weekend banner and some half boxes.

Finally my side bar. Full box to cover the calendar, a to do section and email section.

This is my week all filled in with pen, my colouring coding dots and functional stickers. I also decided to add some left over to do boxes in the blog section and a little things section in my side bar.

First half up close.

Second half up close.

Hope you enjoyed this plan with me. I'm really look forward to doing next weeks spread I've chosen a different layout and different stickers.

Mini etsy haul

I chose the name mini etsy haul because I didn't order a lot this time but I'm making another order today so in the next couple of weeks I'll have a proper etsy haul for you.

So lets start off with washi, I ordered two rolls of red to use in my February spreads and two green ready for my St Patrick's spread.

I ordered these from from JoeandFlo, a great price at £1.60 per roll and £0.80 postage. Shipping was great as well I ordered on 15th January, had my shipping confirmation email on 17th and I received them on the 19th. Usually I order washi of ebay and to get it at this price usually had to wait a week or sometimes longer so I'll defiantly be ordering from them again.

Now for stickers, I ordered this kit called girly doll (Barbie) from StickersByGrace.

The kit contains a sheet of headers and a few functional stickers. A sheet of 8 full boxes which I think are so cute. Sheet of 8 ombre checklist boxes and finally a sheet of half boxes and appointment boxes. These are all printed on matte and I think the kit is well worth the £7.00 the kits are priced at. Postage was reasonably priced as well at £0.95 and quite quick delivery in my opinion. I ordered on the 15th January, got shipping email on 18h and received them on the 19th. The seller has also kind enough to give me a discount code to share with you which is GRACE20 for 20% off orders over £7.00 which expires on 31st March. I will defiantly be using this today as I love all the kits.

Last stickers I ordered are these ombre checklist boxes which I ordered to go with the kit above so I can do a no white space spread. This spread will be featured on the 1st February so look out for that if you want to see how I use these stickers.

I got these from OodlemaDoodles and I think they look a lot better than a checklist flag. I also received a free sample with these cute birds and hearts on. They are printed on matte vinyl for £1.79 or gloss vinyl for £1.89. There is 9 on a sheet which I think is great for the price. Postage was £0.90 and I got this order for abit less because I used the 10% discount code on the oodlemadoodles instagram page . Delivery on these was the same as stickersbygrace. I received a discount code off my next order which I've been told I can share with you NEWYEAR for 10% off until the end of January

Keep a look out over the next couple of weeks for an etsy shop feature post. I ordered something on the 19th and thought it would be great to do a post about it.

Plan with me week #3

January 18th-24th

Pink and Grey theme by TallulahHoola

Welcome back to another plan with me post. This week I'm going to try a new layout and also try to not have so much white space. I'm not sure how this is going to work out because the kit I have doesn't have enough of the stickers I want to use and some stickers I want I don't have so will try to fill it in with washi. With February I'm going to make sure that I have ordered the right amount of stickers so I'll be ok from February onwards.

For what last week looked like at the end of the week check out my Instagram @planneraddict88

So to get started this is the week blank and all pre-planned with sticky notes

I started by laying washi on the bottom and up side bar and put a few headers down there too.

Next I used a peach coloured washi to use as headers for my blog section, some of the washi strips from the kit as headers for the today section and pink washi to make quarter boxes for my children's stuff.

After this I put in my full boxes, little things headers, peach washi to make half boxes and my to do headers with checklists.

Finally I finished my side bar, added functional stickers and filled in what I could. So this is what my spread looks like finished.
