Getting a brand new Travelers notebook each month and setting it up is one of those glorious chores that I really love to do!  This month, as apposed to last month where I changed it (again) to a pocket wide , I left it as is, well, sort of. I did end up using my sewing machine again but in a way accent the flowers on the front and the back covers.  I then did a couple french knots on the cover as well to help the flower stand out 3-D as well.  Now, to begin with setting up the inside. I recorded a process video from start to finish as well as a flip through at the end if you want to check it out! https://youtu.be/DKh41hBp-AI If we start at the front, I've got my first dashboard insert that used those stunning hexagon stickers.  The scrap paper from one of my insert cover cuts makes the perfect background for a lovely die cut! Here are the next 2 dashboard inserts. The one on the left, I used a piece of white card stock as ...

Thanks for joining me back here. We're going to talk about the five tips that I use regularly when I set up a planner to make it the process more streamlined and fast. We all know how long it takes to set up a planner.  It could be a mind numbing days, weeks, several hours, just to make sure it's exactly the way you want it to look. I, personally, want to speed up that process because I would love to have it done so I could have fun in it. So here are my tips on how I'm going to do that! If you haven't checked out the video where I lay it all out, Here it is! #1  List it out! List out how many things you need for your planner. I have a permanent list section in the back of my work planner. It has a list of all the planners that I have currently and all of their sizes.  It lists not just the inserts sizes but the insert cover sizes and the dashboard inserts for my Foxy fix dashboards. All the measurement I need to put together a planner and mak...

Hi there!  I've done a whole planner set up for you using the Everyday Wishes Kit .  The only reason this is possible is that Andreas kits are so plentiful with beautiful paper. I made 7 insert covers and 6 dashboard inserts for my B6 with just this kit! If you haven't seen my unboxing, here is the link:  https://youtu.be/Y9i5he95HDQ I took way to many pictures, but I was just so happy with the way it turned out, you'll have to suffer through the eye candy shot along with me! Horizontal pockets stuffed with plenty of old and new goodies from FTSC!  Tags, papers and die cuts make this the beautiful opening canvas everyday. By making a removable insert in my shaker pocket, I am able to change out an insert and put this one in!  My next FTSC blog post will be all about making one with the cute sequins we get in each kit. My first dashboard insert was made with some patterned paper and a personal dashboard.  The alphas a...

Well Howdy everyone! It's Kim here again to show you my new Pocket wide that I transformed from my December LBB A6 Travelers Notebook!  I originally did this back in September with the same size TN and I've used it for my everyday carry ever since!  I thought it might be time make and set up another one using the December kit with both digital and physical.  If you haven't seen it, here is the unboxing of it! Here is the You Tube Video on how I accomplished this very easy thing!  I do use a sewing machine but it is so not necessary to make this easy transformation. Next is the inside after I got it all set up! https://youtu.be/OXA9YBXOBWg Inside my first dashboard, I have a scrap piece of acetate from when I set up my Standard Everyday Carry ( and this is the blog post set up of that ).  This time I stamped 'plans' on the tab and added my favorite Frenchie to the mix too! On another dashboard, I created this ...

Hi all, Kim here:) I've got a couple techniques that I want to share with you using the Everyday Wishes Kit !  I am doing another entry in my Faith Planner today as it works so well in here! Just wait amd see what I did! I started off pretty tame on this page.  I just mounted this weeks prompts on to a piece of paper, and added it by using my grommet maker, a piece of seam binding and secured it with a couple staples.  I added a few stickers, die cuts and a couple sequins to fill in the gaps. On the page opposite, I fussy cut some of the patterned umbrella pattern paper and mounted that on a piece of the packaging.  I love how the two meld together in a vignette here in my planner. In between those pages, I trimmed a personal planner page for just the rainbow and the wish statement. I often use this as an extra add in flip space to journal, but this time I just used a piece of scrap paper and a unicorn die cut on the back for show. ...
