In a previous Cocoa Daisy project, I created a tag using the October Glow Creative Ki t paper to serve as a bookmark. I loved the idea so much that I decided to use it as a template throughout the spread. By tracing around it and then shading in the edges, I was able to mimic the look of layered paper and give my pages extra depth without the bulk. It creates a dimensional effect that makes the tags look like they’re tucked right into my notebook. To keep that “layered paper” look going, I added strips of washi tape from the Planner Kit to the top and bottom of each 'tag' Washi is one of my favorite ways to bring in more texture without overwhelming the page. It frames the sections nicely and it also helps divide my to-dos from my daily schedule. On the left-hand side I used a Top 3 box to focus my priorities, then scattered in task lists, appointments, and reminders for the rest of the day. I also I divided my tasks into AM and PM lists I do this quite often because it makes...
Standard Travelers Notebook Set-up | Mommy Lhey March Little Bits Box
I've been looking forward to this kit for weeks once I saw the bright pinks and florals, I couldn't wait to dive in! Since I had a casserole in the oven, I needed to get this set up done quick! It took me an hour to get the majority of it finished! Let's talk about what I got done!
Starting right here on the front inside cover I made two tags. The larger tag is made from the dashboard card with the content description along with two cast off pieces of paper from when I trimmed the 4 insert covers. The smaller tag is adhered by a glue dot on top of a piece of washi. That way when I am ready to change out my planner it doesn't harm the surface at all :)
As you can probably tell by now I like using by extra cut off bits to make decorations. These fussy cut flowers are no different. There was also hearts in between the florals which I used a small circle punch to used them.
This next insert cover grows on me every time I look at it more. As a base, I used the pink rainbow paper and added a scrap strip of pink graphic paper with a torn edge, for texture. On top of that I have a fussy cut the rest of those gems out and placed them around the page. Surprisingly, what was left after I cut those gems out were these stars with a shape outline that looked like constellations! Why not add them to the mix along with a couple full box stickers.
This last insert cover is covered in those beautiful florals. I used a piece of packaging as a base for Blossom to ride her car on and added some foiled washi strips from the kit stickers to finish off this simple cover!
On the opposite side, I cut a slit in the pink paper and slipped half of the sticky notes through the slot for an easy mid planner place to jot things down!
I do have some Free Templates on this blog which could be a great help if you are new to planning in a Travelers Notebook or even new to this Standard Size.

If you are interested in seeing me in action, I did do a process video on how I made each element as well as a final flip through once it was all put together!
