March Paper Panduh Kit Unboxing

2016-03-22 22.12.33
Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

Welcome to the March Paper Panduh Kit Unboxing. It came in this gold metallic bag and it was like a bright gold metallic shining beacon on my front porch!!

2016-03-22 22.13.14

This little ray of sunshine is what greeted me when I opened the box – a beautiful bright contrast to the black and white design on the tissue paper.

Not a city girl, but how pretty are those colors on the lid?? Peach, coral, butterscotch, and black, mmmmmhmmmmm.

2016-03-22 22.13.48

After folding the tissue paper back, I found an adorable sticky note pad with a tube of mascara image that says “Ready to go lashes.” OMG, so cute!

This is the personalized touch – there is one in every kit. This personalization is one of the things that adds to the experience for me – and keeps me coming back for more.

This simple extra touch makes us feel special, right?

2016-03-22 22.14.32

“May this box inspire you to create who you want to be to get the most out of your days!”

Nice . . .

Feel free to use the code ONTHEGO to get free shipping in the Paper Panduh shop.

2016-03-22 22.15.14

There are three sets of stickers. Two of them were created in the Paper Panduh shop – one has word labels (awesome – “target run” is perfect) and the other has headers, tags, and images related to girly stuff – LOVE IT!

The other sticker sheet is from Suatelier and has girly images including makeup, perfume, accessories – my favorite sticker in this set are the glasses – I love that vintage design – I REALLY want some glasses like these.

2016-03-22 22.16.00

Whoa! This was completely unexpected . . . I’m used to pretty, girly and functional – all of which this pouch is – but this is above AND beyond. It’s taupe (gray/brown) and has a gold mulberry medallion on the front.

Sidebar:  When I was young, we had mulberry trees. We used to eat the mulberries until we had purple-stained faces, hands and feet and we thought we would explode – a really good childhood memory.

2016-03-22 22.16.39

Isn’t this notepad awesome? She looks like the ultimate working woman . . . the coat is a charcoal gray (kind of looks blue in my picture) and her lips are dark red. The white bow is a very nice touch, too.

2016-03-22 22.17.19

I got a navy blue planner tassel from paperprincessplans and you can use code “panduh” to get 10% off on her etsy shop – just sayin’. She has paper clip tassels, planner tassels, drink cozies, personal-sized dashboards, A5 dashboards, and pocket-sized dashboards.

Lots of feminine designs – and the cozies are knitted with bows and other felt designs – Oh My Goodness, so pretty!!!

2016-03-22 22.26.33

I saved my favorite item in the box for last – the washi.

First, I love that it was in a sort of opaque bag – you can see it, but you can’t . . . prolongs the anticipation, lol.

Second, the box it came in is just as pretty as the washi – it’s Dairyland Masking Tape “Perfume Bottle.” Aaaaaaghhhh, perfume bottles, you can’t get any more girly than that!

Finally, the washi is a long row of perfume bottles – there are 16 bottles before they repeat. It is so pretty.

I love washi – probably my favorite planner supply . . . siiiiiiighhhhhhhhh . . .

SVGCuts Springtime Butterfly Boxes

Screen Shot 2016-03-08 at 7.18.41 PM copyHi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I am making SVGCuts Springtime Butterfly Boxes and they are so cute!!! As I’ve said before, I love SVGCuts files. They have video instructions on their website that show project assembly from start to finish, and every project I’ve made is really easy and comes out incredible – this one included.
2016-03-19 21.32.01Here are the pieces. I used Kathy Davis’s Butterfly’s Promise cardstock by GCD Studios. I got the cardstock at Joann’s, unfortunately, they don’t sell it anymore. I love the colors and designs in this paper pad.
2016-03-19 21.33.43

I started with the box’s lid. The top picture is a flat view of the sides – there are three pieces, each labeled with a number – they are glued in order to make one long strip and then the ends are glued together.

Next, bend down the pointed tabs all the way around.

2016-03-19 21.36.36

One connecting tab on the side piece has a circle, this is the top center of the butterfly wings. Put glue on three of the pointed tabs on either side of this (top pic), push the strip into the “v” of the butterfly wings (middle pic), and press down the glued pointed tabs on the under side of the butterfly shape (bottom pic).

Repeat this process on the bottom of the butterfly wings, and then on either side.

2016-03-19 21.39.13

Turn the lid over, put glue around the edge of the under side.

2016-03-19 21.39.52

Press down all the pointed tabs on the under side.

2016-03-19 21.40.40

On the inside of the lid, carefully glue the acetate over the openings (try not to get glue on the acetate – it’s hard to get off without leaving evidence – don’t ask me how I know . . . ), and then glue the inside liner over the acetate.

2016-03-19 21.41.22

Turn the lid right side up and glue the top cover over the glued pointed tabs.

2016-03-19 21.43.32

The bottom is assembled pretty much the same way. Here are the pieces for this box.

2016-03-19 21.45.30

Glue the butterfly’s body to the top.
2016-03-19 21.50.20 (1)

Finally, I added green Close To My Heart shimmer trim around the bottom edge of the box, and put some True Blue Stickles on the butterfly’s antennae and body.
2016-03-19 21.46.05

And . . . Here’s a top view of the finished box. Honestly, this project far exceeded my expectations – the boxes are just plain AWESOME!!!!

2016-03-27 08.52.28

So, one more pic from Easter morning. In the above pic, you can see the pinwheels and the SVGCuts butterfly boxes. What a nice Easter we had with our grandchildren.

April Cocoa Daisy Day Planner In Action

2016-03-19 21.02.42
Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! This is my planning time view – isn’t it incredible? I will never get tired to it!

Here is the April Cocoa Daisy Day Planner In Action. I spread the kit out on my table and start planning my month.

2016-03-19 21.03.35

Here’s the April tab divider. I put the “april” sticker on this page and added a heart on my grandson’s birthday. I used the page reinforcers on this page.

I use a pink Frixion pen in this planner, my Filofax Domino. I tend to make a lot of mistakes and using a pretty erasable pen is so much fun!!!

2016-03-19 21.04.21

Here is the month on two pages, where I go through and put all the important dates.

I used the Cocoa Daisy washi on the inside edges of the pages, as well as some brighter green skinny washi that I ran along side it from my stash.

I used the umbrella girl on this page and made all the hearts, stars and circle stickers from the sticker sheet look like raindrops falling onto the umbrella. Ugh, so cute!

2016-03-19 21.05.04

Here is an example of the week on one page. The colors are so muted and spring-like.

I used the washi again – creating a banner with the Cocoa Daisy washi and adding a strip of the bright green skinny washi. I had to repunch the holes through the washi, not a big deal!

So, why do the pluses make me think of spring??? I don’t know, but they do . . .

2016-03-19 21.06.04

My grandson’s 5th birthday is on April 1st. I used the birthday cupcake stamp five times wherever that day appears – cutest stamp ever!!!!

I used the washi to separate the weekend from the weekdays and put a sticker on it as well. I use washi all the time – to separate days, emphasize events, and of course, as decoration to add color and patterns.

The stamp set in this month’s kit was so much fun to use – they are tiny and SO DARNED CUTE!!! Above you can see an umbrella, a bird, the birthday cupcakes, a drink cup, an athletic shoe, and a book.

2016-03-19 21.06.56

I used more of the stamps on this spread. The chalk ink does not look or feel any different than other ink I use, so I’m not sure why they call it “chalk” ink . . .

I used the little arrows to simulate raindrops coming from a cloud – I’m never quite sure what to use these arrows for, but they appear in every kit.

I am hoping to start gardening by this weeks’ end, thus the sun, bee, bunny and flower stamps. Think I’ll remember, lol???

2016-03-19 21.07.39

And, here is the final week in April. The umbrella girl makes a final appearance on a sticker. More stamps and stickers.

One thing about Cocoa Daisy that I love is that they don’t overdo the decorative elements in their kits. I don’t overdecorate because I want room to document my everyday life – the little things that I would forget if I don’t write them down.

April Cocoa Daisy Midori

2016-03-14 20.38.50

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I got the April Cocoa Daisy Midori add-on this month for my Business Plan Planner, which is my ChicSparrow Creme Brûlée – my favorite planner to date – it has the softest leather ever!!!!!

I think the Midori deserves some extra attention – there are so many things I love about it!!!!!

First, the CD Midori insert has a Kraft embossed cover that says ”Start Here” – you can decorate the cover – I usually just date the covers so I can keep them in order.

When you are planning, you can decorate as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing – I tend to NOT decorate that much – the space is what’s important to me – not JUST the pretty . . .

2016-03-14 20.39.43

The first page is a Monthly Calendar – I can block out days that I have something going on – vacation days – days off work – weekend days – it helps me get a big picture of days I have open.

2016-03-14 20.40.21

The next two pages – I use the left page to list what I want to accomplish for the month – mini vision board on the right page with pics. Planning is important to me – it makes me feel like I am actually accomplishing something . . .

2016-03-14 20.41.01

10 graph paper pages with sections – I use this to break down what I want to get done for the month into smaller pieces – at the end of the month I can see what I accomplished even if I didn’t get everything completely done.

I like the graph paper – it helps keep my writing uniform and straight – I can block off sections without using a ruler.

2016-03-14 20.41.35

Next, there are four full blank pages with themed graphics – I use these to clip things I want to keep – business cards, appointment cards, tickets, pics . . . – business- related.

2016-03-14 20.42.20

Lined journaling pages are in the center – nice for taking notes, journaling, list making . . .
2016-03-14 20.48.59
11 blank pages (with design) in total – the whimsical graphics are so cute!! I use these pages for notes.

2016-03-14 20.51.21

There are 10 unlined pages with 3 sections – continuing the spring shower theme with watercolor effects – the colors are light enough that you can write over them and still read it.

I use this section to keep track of ideas and add details to them throughout the month.

I find the Midori to be an extremely useful tool in my planning process – it give me a place to make lists, to see my progress, and to see what I want to do in the future . . . all valuable information for my business quest.

April Cocoa Daisy Day Planner Kit

2016-03-14 20.20.51

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

The April Cocoa Daisy Day Planner Kit has arrived!! This awesome sticker was the first thing I saw on the outside of the box. It’s here, it’s here, it’s here . . . Eeeeeek!!!!

2016-03-14 20.21.29

This classy polka dot tissue paper (I love, love, love, black and white polka dots) is holding my lovelies – and I am definitely smiling right now . . .

2016-03-14 20.21.59

Look at that woodgrain heart stamped on the muslin bag – it’s simple yet beautiful – just . . . beautiful.

It’s little touches like this that make me pause for a second and savor the moment . . .

2016-03-14 20.22.36

Here’s what’s inside – I love the spring rain theme – the colors are muted as if waking from winter and waiting for spring to actually arrive.

Blues, greens, browns, yellows, and subtle splashes of pink here and there.

2016-03-14 20.23.19

A Marion Smith acrylic planner stamp block – it has a hole so you can clip it in your planner or on a ring, and is a nice thin, portable size.

An exclusive planner schedule stamp set designed by arleigh – this set has the cutest icon stamps, great for planners. It has so many stamps – numbers, weather, communication (love the typewriter), so fun!!!
2016-03-14 20.24.15

Look at the Umbrella Girl die cut – doesn’t she look happy? She’s dancing in the rain – I love rain – turning my head up to the sky and feeling it on my face, mmmmm . . .

There’s a Heidi Swapp bulldog clip in green 1/kit *assorted (mine is blue) – I love these old fashioned clips – not only do they look vintage, but they work the way they’re supposed to work, i.e., they hold paper together – in a very classy way, of course!

There’s supposed to be a Daisy Planner Charm – I’m so sad, the charm is backordered (sniff, sniff).

2016-03-14 20.24.50

3×5 Exclusive notepad – an umbrella girl in the rain on every sheet – aaaaaahhhhh!!!

A Colorbox Cat’s Eye inkpad in blackbird – I’ve never used chalk ink – I can’t wait to use it – is it different than regular ink?

A roll of Cocoa Daisy Washi Tape – a mint green diagonal strip with white pluses – so pretty . . .

2016-03-14 20.26.09

The kit comes with these inserts:
32 double sided daily to do pages
1 double sided month tab page
Month on 2 pages
5 double sided week in review pages
5 sets of double sided weekly overview pages

2016-03-14 20.27.12

Writing on graph paper is my favorite because, honestly, I can’t write very straight and I tend to write letters in different sizes (unintentionally). Graph paper helps me practice writing letters more uniform in shape and size.

Just showing you the colors and designs on some of the inserts . . . I really like the way they use their color palette on their weekly overview pages in an ombre-design – sometimes the colors are too dark (in my opinion) and you have to be careful what color pen you use – I normally use pink ink because it’s in my pink planner, and as I said, sometimes I can’t read it.
2016-03-14 20.27.44

The month on two pages is pretty new in the kit – you used to have to print it – now it’s printed, cut to size, and punched – I am soooo lazy, lol – and I really appreciate that they do this.

2016-03-14 20.28.20

One of the silly things I look forward to on the inserts is: What are they going to do with the hydrate section?

This month, they have heart raindrops filling a glass – or bubbling out of the glass – I mean, how cute is that????

2016-03-14 20.28.56

5×7 Exclusive planner sticker sheet – every kit has a sheet of these – pretty spring shower colors and designs – blues, greens, yellows, grays, diagonals, dots, umbrellas, boots . . . Aaaaaaaagh! Love it all!!!

There’s also an exclusive sticker sheet designed by Jaimee – clouds, arrow banners, circles, rain, rain, rain . . .

And, that’s it for the April kit – see ya later, I’m just gonna go stalk the mail carrier – waiting for that Daisy Planner Charm . . .

We R Memory Keepers Pinwheels

2016-03-17 21.51.02

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I am making We R Memory Keepers Pinwheels with the WRMK Pinwheel Punch Board. Yep, another punch board BUT it is AWESOME!!! It is really easy to use and the pinwheels are perfect and so easy to assemble.

I’m making these for my grandchildren (of course) and my homeroom. As I’ve said before, I have a diabetic student in my homeroom so I’ve had to be creative about what I give them – in other words, non-food . . .

2016-03-17 21.35.23

This is what the packaging looks like. I couldn’t find this punch board in any of my local craft stores (they were out – apparently a hot item), so I ordered it from amazon for $20.95 and got it in two days.

2016-03-17 21.36.02

We R Memory Keepers also make attachments in various colors – I got these on clearance at Michaels at less than $3 for 10 attachments. You don’t have to use these – you can check YouTube for alternative assembly.

2016-03-17 21.36.34

The punch board comes with a set of instructions. What’s nice about their instructions is that they have lots of pictures – I am definitely visual and looking at pics is really helpful for me.

2016-03-17 21.37.02

The first thing I did was cut my paper to size with my paper trimmer. I used Close To My Heart Taste of Summer cardstock – a set of paper from last summer – you can use any cardstock you want. CTMH paper is a nice weight for pinwheels – it’s thick enough that it doesn’t tear easily.

2016-03-17 21.38.59
Next, I punched all four corners with the punch – top photo – which punches a hole and notches the corner – bottom photo.
2016-03-17 21.43.44The punch board has this swivel blade that fits into a plastic rail and makes a perfectly shaped curved cut every time.

2016-03-17 21.40.35

Another pic of the curved cut.

2016-03-17 21.41.26
When you set the template down, it puts a hole in the center and helps you line up the other cuts. This hole is where you place the pinwheel attachment.

2016-03-17 21.45.52

Here are the attachment pieces – there are four. The top pic shows the pieces – the bottom pic shows the straw, the piece that fits over the top and the the piece that holds the pinwheel away so it will turn. The round cover goes on after the paper is threaded on to hold it in place.

2016-03-17 21.46.33

Here is a pic of the paper threaded on.

2016-03-17 21.50.01

And . . . Here is a finished pinwheel. Now . . . this is a pinwheel with only one layer and it only has four vanes.

Hmmm . . . it looks awfully bare, don’t you think?

2016-03-17 21.47.25

Well . . . the punch board just happens to have the capability to add another layer that is cut in the opposite direction – this is what the red labels on the right side of the board are for.

2016-03-17 21.48.07

Here are the two layers – you lay them on top of each other at a 45 degree angle – overlap the vanes . . . thread them on to the attachment . . .

2016-03-17 21.48.46

And . . . here is a pinwheel with two layers . . . sooooooo much nicer looking, right?

2016-03-17 21.49.20

Not sure what I did wrong (different) on this one, but the vanes definitely look different. Hmmmm . . .

2016-03-17 21.50.31

I made a couple of different sizes:

Purple is 10” – Too big and not enough vanes
Bottom left orange was 6” – too small – the vanes didn’t lay right and kept hitting the straw when it went around
Bottom middle is 7” – this one is my favorite size
Bottom right orange was 8” – just a little too big – and I did something weird when I cut it out – the vanes are different sizes

So, I would definitely make them 7” from now on – the perfect size, in my opinion . . .

SVGCuts Springtime Tulip Box Card

tulips1

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I’m making an SVGCuts SpringtimeTulip Box Card from their Springtime Box Cards set.

Remember, there are assembly videos on their websites for project assembly. Mary assembles the project on the video from start to finish, including tips and variations. I love that you can watch and pause, watch and pause, over and over again. She makes it look really easy – and believe me, it is!!!!

I used Close To My Heart cardstock in Pear, Sweet Leaf, Colonial White, Cotton Candy and White Daisy.

I use CTMH cardstock because it cuts perfectly on my AWESOME Cricut Explore – love that machine!!!! Don’t forget to attach the score lines – otherwise they show up on a different mat!

tulips2
I used CTMH Hollyhock ink on the edges to add dimension, Scotch tacky glue for assembly, and finished off the pink tulip pieces with heidi swapp pink Color Shine.

Misting the pieces is one of my favorite techniques – it hides the glue that I seem to get everywhere, and it adds some bee-you-tee-ful shimmer . . .
tulips3 (1)
I used Perfect Pearls Mist on the yellow tulips and heidi swapp Citron Color Shine on the bases.

tulips4

Here are the sections with the tulip flowerheads attached. I curled the leaves to give them more dimension. If you look closely, you’ll see numbers on each of the sections – these tell you the order they are attached to the base.
tulips5 (1)
This is the base. I used the bone folder to make crisp fold lines so the fence lays flat and then glued them together.
tulips6 (1)Assembly: The pic on the left shows Panel 1 attached, the middle pic has Panel 2 added, and the right pic has all three panels attached.
tulips7Here is a front view of the completed card.

tulips8

Here is the back view. There is a white piece that can be attached to the back for a sentiment.

tulips9

This is a view from the top showing the space between the panels.

tulips10

Here is a diagonal view. Aaaaaaagh, look how pretty!!! How ’bout that picket fence, huh?

tulips11
And . . . This shows the card folded and lying flat. Folded, you can mail the card in an envelope that is part of the Springtime Box Cards svg files I purchased.

Every project I have made from SVGCuts exceeds my expectations – they are so incredibly easy to create and look so amazing!!

March Scribble Prints Co. Subscription Kit

2016-03-11 19.37.07

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I got the March Scribble Prints Co. Subscription Kit. The color scheme is in a Spring/Easter palette of pink, lavender, yellow, and green. The kit included seven sheets of stickers, an ombre pad of sticky notes, and a spring green Sharpie fine point marker.

2016-03-11 19.37.48

This sheet has a matte finish and has decorative strips with a green and white woodgrain design. It also has headers of different thicknesses in green, yellow, lavender, and pink.

2016-03-11 19.38.31

The sheet on the left has icons, checklists, a weekend banner, and various labels. The sheet on the right is a sampler set.

2016-03-11 19.39.21

The top sheet has half boxes, two weekly boxes, and various icons. The bottom has a variety of headers, also in the spring/Easter pallette.

2016-03-11 19.40.11

The top sheet has ombre checklist boxes, and the bottom sheet has full boxes decorated with spring designs.
2016-03-13 12.27.31I am decorating a week spread in my Carpe Diem – which is from my blog planner.

2016-03-13 12.33.55

I cut the green and white decorative strips in half lengthwise and ran them along the hole-punched side of both pages. I had to repunch the holes – not a big deal.

I also cut the full boxes in half and put them on the left side of the page and put icons on them.

I put the “Today” labels over the dates – there’s not enough room to write the date in the space the Carpe Diem inserts give you – and I used a roller stamp to stamp the days of the week.

I used the meal planning stickers for, obviously, meal planning, and the television stickers to remind me when my shows are on.

2016-03-13 12.29.11

I used the weekend banner on this page and added checklists for next week and what I need to buy.

2016-03-13 12.29.59

And . . .  this is what the full spread looks like. Very spring-y, huh?

SVGCuts Springtime Pansies Box Card

Pansy Screen Shot 2016-03-08 at 5.45.23 PM copy

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I am making an SVGCuts Springtime Pansies Box Card. I love SVGCuts files – they are incredibly easy and come out looking unbelievably awesome!!! There are assembly videos for every project I’ve done so far on their website – you can watch and pause, watch and pause, over and over again. She makes it look really easy – and believe me, it is!!!! Mary assembles the entire project from start to finish – Love It!

Above is my Cricut Design Space screenshot of the pieces and colors.

2016-03-08 21.59.12

Here are the cutout pieces. I used the following cardstock and colors:

Lavender floral paper – Anna Griffin’s 20th Anniversary Edition Papers – got this from HSN
Close To My Heart:
White Daisy – flower petals
Canary – flower petals
Gypsy – flower petals
Desert Sand – card base
Chocolate – decorative panel
Fern – flower bases

I used We R Memory Keepers brads for the flower centers and the brad tool to spread the brad prongs.

2016-03-08 22.14.17

I used CTMH Shin Han markers in Lavender and Bronze to color the flower centers.

2016-03-08 21.59.48

Here are the yellow petals.

2016-03-08 22.04.50
This is my flower assembly process:

1. Color the centers with the CTMH Shin Han marker.
2. Fold the petals in the center.
3. Insert the brad through the holes and spread the petals out evenly.
4. Insert the brad through the openings on the card bases.
2016-03-08 22.10.30 (1)
Here are the four panels with the flowers attached.
2016-03-08 22.07.50 (1)
There are flower buds as well. The first photo shows the two parts – the bud is folded on a score line. The second photo shows the flower attached, and the third photo shows how the stem piece covers where the bud connects to the stem and makes it look realistic.

2016-03-08 22.11.41

Here is the front card base section with the decorative panels attached.

I used my bone folder to crease the pieces along their score lines. I also used Scotch Create white glue to adhere the pieces together. This glue dries super quickly (like, in seconds) and is clear.

2016-03-08 22.12.19

Here is the back card base section.

Here is the other side of the back card base section. I am going to stamp a sentiment on the White Daisy oval – I ordered a spring stamp set and don’t have it yet. The tab on the right is folded along a scoreline and glued to the other half of the card base.

Here is a shot of the base glued together. Starting to look like something . . .

Here is the first panel on the left, and then it is glued to the front of the card base on the right.

I inserted the other two panels. Wow, didn’t this come out beautiful?? It literally took me about half an hour to assemble!!

Listers Gotta List Kit #10: Happy Day! in Action

2016-03-06 20.55.07

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I am showing you The Reset Girl’s Listers Gotta List Kit #10: Happy Day! in action.

Above you can see my Close To My Heart Everyday Life planner and all the items that came in the kit. This planner works really well for my lists because there is a space for the prompt on the left, and bulleted lines on the right, where I can write my responses – it’s actually set up similar to the Heidi Swapp planners.

I made a dashboard out of a journal card that came in the kit (love the saying), some stickers and ephemera from the kit. I also ran measuring tape washi, from the “Sew Beautiful” Kit #9, across the top and bottom to tie it in with the rest of the pages.

I used some of the washi paper strips to create lines for each day and put the date sticker on the right end of it. This section is where I’ll put the prompts after I print them.

I like to use the journal cards for some lists – I used washi to create a hinge on the top of it and put some ephemera from the kit on the outside. I also used the Colton Stamens yellow ink and stamp set to stamp some sentiments on the page.

There’s still plenty of room to write my lists – I don’t overdo the decorations – I like to keep it simple because, for me, the lists are the focus.

This is a closeup of the journal card, closed in the top photo, and open in the bottom one.

I used more of the washi paper in the left columns and added the round date stickers.

The ephemera set had these awesome letters that spell L I F E – pretty cool . . . I also hinged another journal card and put a piece of ephemera that looks like a stamp in the corner – pretty and useful because it creates a tab to turn the card over.

Here is a closeup of the journal card closed and then open with ephemera on the backside of it.

The journal card on this page doesn’t open – I liked the washi paper on either side of it – and . . .  LOOK, the Planner Honey is ready to work . . .

2016-03-06 21.26.10

I think I like the washi paper with all the same design on one page, hmmmm . . .

This is a shot of the journal card open.

The washi paper on this page came from one sheet – if you look carefully, the flowers continue from one strip to the next.

In case you’re interested, you can purchase stickers at The Reset Girl’s site for 40% off through Thursday, March 10, 2016 – no code needed – it will come off in your cart. Cool, huh? I MAY have ordered a few . . .
