Hi there!  I made myself another planner. (yup, insert eye roll here.)  I know, I know but listen to my reasoning.  When I'm in my office for the majority of the day, the main planner I work with says there, besides some nightly outings to the living room to sit and plan for the next day.  I've noticed that my meal planner and wellness insert where I track my eating habits are not getting used consistently.  After thinking about it for a while it isn't the fact that I don't want to write down what I want to make or eat, it's the fact that its not in the kitchen when I need to write these certain things down. Using the Everyday wishes kit, it was a cinch to put together.  The personal size dividers needed just a hare of a trim to fit perfectly on top of the other pattered paper to make then super sturdy. I made a little bag out of this beautiful patterned paper which will hold my grocery receipts for tracking expenses.  To make t...

Hello!  By now you've figured out that I'm kinda a freak of a planner girl!  I love tabs, sections, dividers, pockets...to put it simply I love decorating so I love being in my planner! Today I've got a set up using every single paper from the  December Embellishment Kit   and all the bells and whistles Doe and Dear provide for us every single month! I do enjoy embellishing the front pockets of my planner.  This month is just a smattering of  journal cards  ,  wood veneer   and patterned paper !   On my first dashboard I used parts of pattern paper and adhered them together using the sparkly kit washi tape. On top I placed a journal card with a label and a epoxy heart. Tabs don't always have to be plain.  I've jazed this one up to be more sturdy on vellum by adding a few die cuts and some rhinestone hearts for decoration! I always add a personal touch to my dashboard pocke...

Hello, Kim here and Happy New Year to you guys!  I hope that you have big plans for 2018 including big crafty plans! I've been scrapping small lately as it seems I can find more time to do more memory keeping this way. Today I'm showing you a layout done in an A6 Travelers notebook! It's a simple one page-r but is it chocked full of a whole bunch of FF goodies! I am using the December Embellishment Kit and I've noticed that although there are several holiday theme items, it really is a kit you can use all winter long! The resin mitten shape  is just the perfect placement to top of the red tag.  I did add a piece of twine to it for texture though.  Above, I have a vellum sticker , with scalloped shapes to accent the top of the page. Below in on partial journal card   is my ode to tea.  I did place another vellum strip underneath along with another piece of patterned paper.  I topped it off with the red puf...

As most of you know, or maybe not,  my roots for my love of planning go way back to pre-paper.  I'm a reformed quilter who loved the tearing apart to put back together aspect of cutting and sewing.  And I thought it was time to infuse a touch of those sensibilities in my planner for a fresh start for 2018. In the pockets of my Mommy Lhey Pink-a-dots Standard size Travelers Notebook, I've got a black striped bag I added stitching to. But here is the thing, I sewed the paper by itself then glued it onto the outside of the bag so the bag is still functional to put goodies in.  I also added a ribbon to the bottom of my flair paper clip instead of the top to keep this little cutie company! This guy is one of my favorite characters ever of Mommy Lhey's!  I had to digitally color his cute tongue and back him with a sticky note and some striped paper too!  A collection of washi and stickers makes the back side of the striped pape...

Hi there friends!  I have another mini layout for you guys using the Freckled Fawn   December Embellishment Kit  !   Using the pattern paper as a base for a picture of my holiday fireplace!  The washi strip is just there for effect going vertical but the cluster to the right is just parts and pieces of what I had laying on my craft desk! I know that this kit is to celebrate the December Holidays but I think it works just lovely for all types of pictures! This little resin tea cup is super cute with it's argyle pattern.  And no, I don't mind bulky travelers notebooks! I hope that you have a most joyous and prosperous New Year!! Thank you for stopping by! -Kim

Well Hello there my lovelies!  This is Kim and I'm a new member of the Design Team for 2018! If you'd like to get to know me a little bit better you can always check out my personal IG page under ' krodesigns ' :) Lets get started with today's project!  When I did my Facebook Live about the digital download reveal in the ML Group , I talked about the two types of planners I made with the schedule page that is included in the free digital download link provided on the title card in the December Little Bits Box .  This time I made two more for you to look at and make yourself! Let's start with the bound planners I made!  Each has a different type of cover but the insides are absolutely the same. The frenchie puppy paper one was part of the digital kit where I covered 2 pieces of chipboard for the front and back covers with the printed cardstock paper.  The disk bound planner is two files, digitally sandwiched together, printed out on paper and la...
