Hi there!

Not to long ago I was thinking....Can I plan for the whole month using only 1 Freckled Fawn Kit?

Yes-ish! 


What I mean is that I also received a 2 additional items from the planner kit: the pretty paper stickers and the puffy border stickers.  

Planner kit
Embellishment kit


BUT,  I did not use the wood veneer heart or one of the vellum phrase sheets.  So it kind of evened out!



After I set up the front of the divider, I jazzed up the back.


Then I used the borders between the washi strips  to underline the header for each mission.  Then using the foiled epoxy speckled hearts ,  I created a tab for the month.




When it came to the month spread, I used a scalloped shape to nestle those button stickers in. I also used the leftover backing sheet from the glitter chipboard stickers to create stencil and make headers or my banner flags on three of the days.




For this week I did a plan with me video, that you are more than welcome to enjoy.  I used the stencil one again to create the feathers this time to denote the weekend.






To mimic a notes section I divided off Monday to use it as such and then filled in with other ephemera to balance the spread.




I'm not sure why I've never tried this but I did section off each day with the washi strip borders.  It really is a great use for those last little bits of kit!




The next week I just did two corners of washi on Monday and Friday to balance out the week.


The notes and rambling section is sectioned off to help designate categories I will use.  Meeting notes, the month ahead thoughts and meal planning ideas are a great way to not waste that extra space in your planner.


Lastly, the focus page where I have layed out monthly goals and created daily habits. I may not have a focus for the month, but I really like the way this pretty little corner turned out to be.


I do have a walk through on my You Tube Channel where I talk more in depth about this monthly project.  It is also embedded below!  


Thank you for joining me today!

Why the Cocoa Daisy Deluxe Journaling Kit Always Sells Out

Image
(and Why You’ll Want to Subscribe Before the Next One Drops) If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a big fan of all things Cocoa Daisy . I’ve used their kits for years in everything from creative planning, journaling and memory keeping. But one kit has my whole heart—and apparently, everyone else’s too—because it always sells out! I’m talking about the Deluxe Journaling Kit . This isn’t just a cute little bundle of stickers and paper (although it has plenty of both). It’s a monthly delivery of calm, creativity, and curated goodness that turns a blank page into a storybook of your life. Let me show you what makes it so special—with a peek inside one of my favorite themes: “Where the Sea Dreams.” ✨ What’s Inside the Deluxe Journaling Kit ? Each month, Cocoa Daisy creates a journaling kit around a theme, and they go all in on the details. The “Where the Sea Dreams” edition featured: Soft watercolor prints in dreamy blues and sandy neutrals *Exclusive Ocean-inspired washi a...

Wet Felted Spheres

This week I start teaching a weekly class at The Minnetonka Center for the Arts about Wet and Dry Felting and wanted to let you in on a little bit of it too. This step by step tutorial teaches you how to make felted balls that will be a component in a necklace which I will show later on. Start with 1/2 oz. corriedale wool. I get mine at one of two places, The Textile Center shop and The Fibers Studio . You can also pick it up on Etsy . This time I am using this variegated dyed one purchased at The Textile Center . The corriedale at The Fiber Studio is a better quality wool but it only comes in solid colors. Trade off, I suppose. The soap is from Kiss My Face , a pure olive oil soap. Fill a bowl with water and place the soap in it and mush it around. I like to do it this way until the soapy water opaque and slightly yellow then I take the bar of soap out. When wet felting if you fill your bowl with warm or hot water it speeds up the process. I want beginners to use room temp water (so...

TN Sticker Book

  This is the second spiral sticker book this summer that we’ve received with the Cocoa Daisy Main Planner Kit and I’m not mad about it! While last time I just kept it as is, but this time I wanted to be as streamlined as possible when traveling with my notebook. I sliced a couple pages out so they could travel with me, in style with a paper cover. I thought of two ways you make this because working with sticker release paper isn’t as easy as you’d expect. The easiest way securely travel with these sheets is use one of the cute adhesive pockets in the main planner kit and just put it in for safe keeping. On the other side, with the two remaining sheets, I cut one of the sticky notes in half, folded it in half and sandwiched all together.  Staples were used to secure them since I can't use any adhesive on the release paper (since it won't stick). Underneath, another pocket made from the scrap trims is another place to move your release paper to. While staples aren’t cute t...
