I thought you might want to see a very darling Woodland Planner Kit  up close!  This is from Miora Studio, a very creative mother and daughter team.  The Mom (Michelle) draws, sketches, paints and colors every single original art included in this kit and her daughter (Aurora) scans, digitizes and gets those works ready to put in your planner! She includes a few of these cute little die cuts in the kit that look fabulous on their own or even better in a pocket of your planner or in a layout!   I think it is just wonderful that you can personalize your planner girl by choosing the skin and hair color of your girl!  And it comes in three different sizes on your deco sheet as well as the die cut! And if you are on the fence, you can always choose the Traveler's Notebook Planner Sticker Insert  .  For under $8 you get a fabulous assortment of stickers and it fits in your TN as well! Head on over to the shop and pick yourself...

Hey there, Kim here to show you how the embellishment kit works flawlessly as a planner kit!  As you can see from the shop already , that the planner kit is sold out! #yeah  But this embellishment kit  is absolutely spot on for use as a planner kit instead! The chipboard pieces, like the sun, star and phrase sticker, add fantastic dimension and texture to your layout.  If you have concerns about them being too bulky on your page, just take an xacto knive or even the point of your finger nail to decrease the bulk of the paper layers, to what ever height you would like.   Then run it through a Xyron machine or add you're own adhesive to add it to your layout easily!  This corner I got a little goofy, split the watermelon chipboard in 2 and made it into an emoji-like dude with drawn teeth and an enamel dot eyeball. Those alpha stickers , printed on super think and lux vellum add a great, fun font choice to this view. And d...

I've done several planner spreads with it and I totally love the summer vibes feel associated with it! The best part of these kits are the flexibility of them; you can be either unstructured or structured in nature depending on your style of planning!  Today I'll show you both ways, using the same planner. My first planner spread using this kit is totally unstructured.  The alphas in this kit  mirror the washi tape so well I wanted to feature them together in this fun little corner mimicking a camp sign post. I used the labels to write down some tasks for the day and I also included a picture of our recent vacation since I was reminiscing on how fun a time we had! I have no problem stapling the rubber shapes onto the page! It always adds a bit of fun texture to your layouts along with the glitter icon stickers! Now, here are the pages for the structured layout! On the top part of the page, I used the alpha to hi...

I love to not only jazz up my spread but the planner outside itself.  Of course there is a bow in the kit that you add to a clip to decoratively hold your pages together, but there are also some elements in this months kit that inspired me to make 3 additional fun things to pair with my planner this month. The first thing is a planner bookmark pictured above. The only additional items besides the   awesome pearl-essent circle stickers is a hot glue gun and some embroidery floss or string of your choosing.  All you have to do is stick a pearl to the floss.  Then dab the tiniest of hot glue on it and face with another pearl of you choosing. I did some alternating colors but you can do as you please. The next is this cute planner charm.  Armed with a drill and a small drill bit I easily drilled a hole in 2 of the acrylic shapes and the wood veneer.  Using 3 jump rings and an alligator clasp to gain some distance from ...

Hello Summer! So happy to be joining you on the other side of school concerts, sports playoffs and final exams! It's time to get ready for our brief time off with my monthly June layout using this retro-fun kit! This cute little corner was made possible by those fabulous washi stickers .  I used the scalloped strip bleed for the left edge and nestled this three some of circles together to fill in rare empty date.  I separated the heart and star washi decoration on its own so that I could place each on game dates. Since they start at the same time and at the same place. it seemed like a logical solution to simplify and honestly I wasn't too jazzed about writing "Tyler's baseball game @6" 10 times:) Each of the numbered acetate die cuts are so varied in print and color but I think the six paired well with the washi strips and the enamel hearts to round out this corner. I doesn't take much or time to add some zest to our plann...

I participated in  Elle's Studio National Scrapbook Day Challenge  this year! Join in if you'd like to you can still upload your link until midnight PST on Friday, May 12th, 2017:) The challenge was to create a travelers notebook spread! I did so using the Little Moments Collection which paired so well with my succulent picture. I gave the flowers that I cut out from the 12 x 12 sheet a little dimension by gluing them only in the center and turning the edges up.  They really do stay like this even when the TN is shut! I added a whole bunch of bits from the collection to the corner!  I love it when designers think about the salvage cut ends because I always look to use them in my layouts too!  Nothing is sacred, even packaging!   Thanks for joining me! xoxoxo Kim

This planner kit is so versitle and generous I could use it for a month in my planners. Today I'm showing you how I use it in a structured layout and one a little less rigid. I covered up the days of the week with the Washi and then added an additional puffy letter sticker on top to make it pop! Unstructured I used the chipboard backing as a stencil to make task boxes on my page. Adding several pops of yellow really makes this page pop! On this day I repeated the washi and added the dimensional stars and those wonderful vellum stickers. I got a little goofy doodling using the circles from the "stencil"  along with a few more of the chipboard shapes! Thanks for stopping by!
