Paper Panduh October 2016 Warm and Cozy Kit

2016-10-28-21-40-35Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! Here’s the Paper Panduh October 2016 Warm and Cozy Kit, another awesome, awesome kit by Emma.

“do what you love” is on one end of the box and “#panduhbox” is on the other end.
2016-10-28-21-41-18Above left is the inside of the box – wrapped in green plaid tissue paper sealed with a floral die cut, and tied with thick light brown and cream yarn. On the right is what you see after unwrapping the tissue paper – an oblong box with a “Home Sweet Home” die cut lying on a bed of brown kraft crinkle cut paper.
2016-10-28-21-41-43In the top pic, you can see the box is tied with a piece of brown twine. Inside are the two pens in the bottom pic – a blue one with a cap shaped like a house – how cute is that??? – and a pen with a knit red and pink sweater pattern – again, how cute is that? Who wouldn’t love to write with either of them? They both have a fine point and are black ink. I love them . . .
2016-10-28-21-42-16I love tea – been a tea drinker for 30+ years. Well, this kit included a Twinings English Breakfast teabag inside a cellophane bag closed with a “stay warm” sticker and a leaf stapled at the top. I really appreciate the little extras #panduhbox kits provide – she could’ve just put the teabag in the box – BUT she didn’t . . . Love, love this!!
2016-10-28-21-42-57Here’s a note from Emma, love it, and a code to her shop for 20% off, that’s good until November 15, if you’re interested. Included is a pad of paper – I’m going to use it on my sidebars, an awesome gold coffee cup pin, and two rolls of washi – yep, I still love washi, and . . .  isn’t it so pretty?!?!? They go together sooooo well!!!
2016-10-28-21-43-30On the left are seven sheets of stickers (there are two slightly different sheets of the upper left set) from Paper Panduh and Caress Press. How ‘bout that girl with the shades, huh? On the right are some die cuts and a journaling card for “Rainy Day Notes.”

2016-10-28-21-44-39Here’s a shot of the entire kit – there is so much stuff in it!!!

It’s all so . . . Warm . . . And . . . Cozy . . . Don’tcha think????
2016-10-29-15-51-39Here’s my month-on-two-pages spread. I used pieces from the paper pad across the top and the bottom, stickers, diecuts, quote boxes, numbers, days of the week, the pens, and the teabag. It is just beautiful!!!
2016-10-29-15-52-17One last thing, I used my We R Memory Keepers Pom Pom Maker, the twine and yarn from this kit, and a piece of ribbon from last month’s kit to make a planner pom pom. Now tell me that didn’t come out incredibly awesome!!!! I LOVE Paper Panduh kits!

2016-10-23-21-14-51A fairly new addition to the Cocoa Daily Planner Kit are 4 6×8 papers called Pumpkin Spice/Into the Forest & Harley/Ingrained. These are great for making dashboards and dividers.

3×5 notepad – now, that’s a fox with some attitude

Forest friends die cuts

2016-10-23-21-19-301 double-sided month tab – the woodland animals have a hand-drawn look and are so darned cute!!
2016-10-23-21-20-02Month-on-two-pages – on the backs are a place to make a month list and the other has monthly boxes for setting goals or anything you want to track monthly.
2016-10-23-21-20-535 double-sided week in review pages – doesn’t everyone “need another day between Saturday and Sunday”?
2016-10-23-21-21-265 sets double-sided weekly overview pages (2 per set) – the back side has space for making lists, journaling and making notes.
2016-10-23-21-22-2632 double-sided daily to-do pages. One of the hydration glasses is a coffee cup – speaking my language!!

“First I drink the coffee. Then I do the things.” Words to live by . . .
2016-10-23-21-23-08Here’s a shot of the entire kit. The light blue seems an odd choice, doesn’t it, but it works . . .
2016-10-23-21-23-58Above is the month-on-two pages spread in action – got a lot going on in November . . .
2016-10-23-21-26-02And . . . these are the weekly spreads for the month. Adorable woodland animals, washi, stamps, and lovin’ that fox pen.

The Reset Girl So Cozy Crafty Girl Play Kit

2016-10-11-20-46-38Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! Here’s The Reset Girl So Cozy Crafty Girl Play Kit. This kit encourages the changes that fall brings – fall leaves, decor, and crafting projects. It’s my favorite time of year and my activities reflect it – from the projects I choose to the food I eat.

Above is the inside of the kit – pink crinkled paper with some yellow and gray mixed in – and a sweet note from The Reset Girl. I love this kit’s vintage and feminine themes – “So Cozy.”

2016-10-11-20-47-16The kit I chose included TRG’s signature glue stick – honestly, it’s a glue stick, folks – not really a fan because it doesn’t always stick. I want an adhesive that stays – like my ATG permanent adhesive . . . just sayin’ . . .

There’s a 2″x3″ TRG Exclusive “So Cozy” clear stamp set – I LOVE LOVE LOVE the coffee cup!!!!

How ‘bout that roll of orange and yellow plaid washi? It’s the same colors as candy corn – and I DO love candy corn!
2016-10-11-20-47-47You get three sheets of die cuts – 63 pieces – lots of knits, leaves, browns, yellows, oranges, pink (crazy, but it works), and mint green . . .
2016-10-11-20-48-23Above left are boxes (half size and quarter size) bordered with various colored knits – they are “So cozy!”
There are also two Reset Girl Edition Carpe Diem Word Strip Sticker Sheets – they have a pink grid background and pink splashes here and there – I really like these because they’re simple and yet different!
2016-10-11-20-48-56Finally, there are four Exclusive TRG Sticker Sheets – top left are large and small fall themed bubbles – top right are large and small knitted bubbles (yes, knit stickers, lol, I.Love.Them.) – bottom left are date labels – bottom right are small fall themed bubbles.
2016-10-11-20-49-48I printed my own prompts this month. Hey, I’m on a budget and why pay extra if I can print them myself? I used Close To My Heart Saffron cardstock, went to the Listers Gotta List website, downloaded the prompts, and printed them. Now I can cut them apart, add stickers, and make them look the way I want.

2016-10-13-13-54-59Above is a weeks’ spread with date stickers, prompts, die cuts, bubble stickers, and the Monthly Challenge List (on the right – I printed it, mounted it on Saffron cardstock, hole-punched it, and put it in my planner). I love a pretty workspace, don’t you????

October 2016 Scribbles Monthly Mystery Collection

2016-10-04-19-29-50Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! Here’s the October 2016 Scribbles Monthly Mystery Collection – it’s full of warm oranges, yellows, and browns – leaves, lattes, and stars. Yes . . . lots of stars . . . and they are awesome!!!

I use this kit in my Social Media Planner – I don’t use all the planner stickers here, but I do use them in my other planners.
2016-10-04-19-30-14Above are the sticker sheets. In the top left are the checklists – I use these as headers – and event stickers – I don’t use these in this planner.

The top right pic has the full boxes and the washi – I use all these stickers in this planner.

The bottom left pic is of the habit trackers, flags, quarter and half boxes, weekday covers, icons, and to do stickers. I only use the weekday covers in this planner.

The bottom right pic is of the checklists, time bubbles, to do lists (I don’t use these), weekend, date numbers, and various theme related stickers (I do use these).
2016-10-04-19-30-53These are the freebies this month (every kit so far had a pen or marker in it) – a sheet of metallic stars, a sampler, and a BEAUTIFUL pad of sticky notes with leaves in the background and a latte on the side. I. LOVE. THESE. STICKY. NOTES.
2016-10-04-19-31-32Here’s a shot of the entire kit – mmmm mmmmm mmmmm!!!!
2016-10-08-13-07-04Here’s the first weeks’ spread using this kit. I used washi from my stash along the bottom and the side – bringing in a little Halloween – I got the potion bottle washi from Michaels. Across the top are the heart checklists cut apart and labeled with the date and “Blog Views.” I used the washi to label the days’ blog topic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

And . . . Stars . . . Stars . . . Stars . . . Love them!!!

October 2016 scarlet lime Planner Society Kit

2016-09-25-19-07-22Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! My October 2016 scarlet lime Planner Society Kit is here – Oh my . . . It’s so pretty! Florals and vintage are my favorites, and this kit delivers both!
2016-09-25-19-08-04Look at this beautiful pencil case. The outside design matches the florals and colors of the rest of the kit – AND the inside has pockets, pen loops and PINK POLKADOTS. Yes, PINK POLKADOTS!! So sweet . . .

The pen is similar to a pengem – it has white crystals and a floral barrel that matches the florals in the kit.

2016-09-25-19-08-46The kit items are inside this, again matching, paper bag of purple flowers.

2016-09-25-19-09-20Above left is a gold paper clip – I’ve never seen a clip like this before, have you? I LOVE IT!! On the right is a girl stamp – isn’t she just lovely? So girly . . .

2016-09-25-19-09-55These are the diecuts – shoes, a purse, lipstick, glasses, perfume bottle, coat, matching flowers, an old fashioned telephone, and two girls with rings of flowers on their heads.

If I could draw, these are what I would make!!
2016-09-25-19-10-25Okay, I am a sucker for washi tape, and one of the things about the Planner Society washi is that it always matches the kit’s colors and floral design. Talk about making it easy to tie all the elements together – definitely a no-brainer.
2016-09-25-19-11-16This month’s kit has 6 journaling cards, sticky notes that match the girl, a vial of confetti, and 12 awesome matching tabs with 4 sheets of labels for the tabs.
2016-09-25-19-12-57There are two more paper bags with wonderful things inside. The bag on the left has two planner charms – one is lavender and the other is teal – match the kit!. The other bag has 5 sheets of stickers – again, they match the rest of the kit.

2016-09-25-19-16-08Six sheets of cardstock are included in the kit – they are two sided and match everything else in the kit. Oh. My. God. Aren’t they beautiful??????

2016-09-25-20-23-18Look at all that purple floral prettyness!!!! The Planner Society kits speak to all that I love about planner decoration – florals – vintage – feminine – usefulness.

Halloween Planner Clips

screen-shot-2016-09-27-at-7-42-57-pm-copyHi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I made some Halloween Planner clips for my planner. I love planner clips – I see them on Pinterest and Instagram all the time – so, I thought I would try to make my own.

Above is a screenshot of Cricut Design Space and the designs I’m making. I used the Edit tab to change the height of each design to 2”.

2016-09-29-19-31-25Here are the cutout pieces. I used Close To My Heart cardstock in White Daisy, Black, Ruby, Fern, Pear, Crystal Blue, Chocolate, Cashmere, Saffron, Raspberry and Autumn Terracotta.
2016-09-29-19-32-06I did the hardest clip first – as you can see in the left pic, there are LOTS of teeny, tiny pieces. Yes, it was tedious, but for me, these are the ones that come out the best. The skeleton costume is from the Cricut “Trick or Treat” cartridge. I used E6000 on the paper clip and Scotch Quick Drying glue on the paper sections. I got the large paper clips from a craft store (can’t remember which one, sorry) a long time ago. They’re pretty popular right now – I see them everywhere.
2016-09-29-19-32-32These are Vampire Teeth from the Cricut “Photo Booth Props”. This was a really easy, and yet awesome clip. I used Wink of Stella to glitter up the lips. Okay, just because it’s creepy, doesn’t mean it can’t also be pretty, right?
2016-09-29-19-33-03This is Teddy Bear from the Cricut “Teddy Bear Parade” cartridge.
2016-09-29-19-33-36Here’s a new design – it’s Sugar Skull from the Cricut CTMH “Flower Market” cartridge – you can only purchase this cartridge through Close To My Heart.
2016-09-29-19-34-06This is Autumn Tree from the Cricut “Create A Critter 2” cartridge.
2016-09-29-19-34-36Here’s Frankenstein’s Bride Frame from the Cricut “Happy Hauntings” cartridge. I had a problem cutting out this design on my Cricut – the paper kept tearing. When this happens, I turn down the paper guide one notch at a time until it doesn’t tear. For this project, I turned it down to one notch below the “Light Cardstock” before it would stop tearing.
2016-09-29-19-35-09The last project is October 31 from the Cricut “Teresa Collins – Chic & Scary” cartridge. Simple but still awesome!!!!

2016-09-29-19-35-50Wow, was this a fun project!!! They came out even better than I thought they would.

I. Love. Them.

September 2016 Panduhbox

2016-09-25-18-20-08Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! The September 2016 Panduhbox is here! It’s the one year anniversary edition and it is just beautiful!!
2016-09-25-18-26-04Here’s the inside of the box – “do what you love” – this sentiment was handwritten on the back of her business cards every month.

There are sequins glued around the sticker – some of them are iridescent, which I’ve never seen before – they are definitely special . . . The gold and white striped tissue paper is tied with a wide white ribbon. Ugh, so pretty!

Also, every month something is personalized. This month, there was a big “j” diecut taped to the tissue paper – I really, really appreciate personal touches like this!!
2016-09-25-18-22-08I have been a Panduhbox subscriber from the beginning, so I got a little extra something in my box – a personalized note from emma and a Starbucks gift card. Isn’t she just the sweetest person ever?? This wasn’t expected and certainly not necessary, but so, so thoughtful!!!

I love her kits because they are girly, trendy, I get more than my money’s worth, and I’m always surprised by what’s inside. I love, love, love the packaging. And, I love the personalized touches . . .

2016-09-25-18-22-54This card not only has an awesome inspirational quote, but it also has a marble background, which adds a very classy touch.

Check out the sequins scattered here and there – so pretty!!!

2016-09-25-18-54-36This is a note from Emma – you can get 26% off anything in her shop, paperpanduh.com, if you use the code “panduhbirthday.”
2016-09-25-18-23-22This is when I just stop . . . and look . . . sighhhhhhhh . . .
2016-09-25-18-23-55Lots of stickers – 2 sheets by paperpanduh – 1 sheet from villabeautiful. Teal, pink, florals, watercolors, pretty geometrics – lots of stickers, lol.
2016-09-25-18-24-37A gold & white striped bag – more surprises – yay! I like that you can’t see everything at once – it adds to the mystery . . . Inside is this really cool “Weekly Plan” pad – what a useful weekly overview tool!
2016-09-25-18-26-38Here’s a rose-colored pencil pouch by Create 365 and a pair of gold stork scissors – no really . . . Gold. Stork. Scissors.
2016-09-25-18-54-08Finally, there’s an entire bundle of items tied together with a gold ribbon. There’s a “happy Panduh” pen with a pink cap, 3 paper straws, marble sticky notes, 5 sheets of Create 365 stickers, and a set of mini panda stickers – so darned cute!!!

2016-09-25-18-55-06And, that’s the 1st anniversary Paper Panduhbox. Lots of cute, girly, useful items this month. Thanks Paper Panduh for all the fun, thoughtful, and memorable kits this year. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the next twelve months. Congratulations!!!!

October 2016 Cocoa Daisy Day Planner Kit

2016-09-18-14-48-32Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! Here’s my October 2016 Cocoa Daisy Day Planner Kit!!! Happy Mail!! Happy Mail!!

It has a rustic fall theme full of mums, leaves, woodgrain, and acorns in warm pinks, oranges, yellows, and greens. Autumn is my favorite time of year when the air is cool and crisp, the leaves start falling, and the world prepares for its winter nap.
2016-09-18-14-49-05“make your own rules”

September is Christine’s, the owner of Cocoa Daisy, anniversary and she put this marker, along with a sweet note, in every kit. I love the little extras – the unexpected, and the thoughtful attention to detail is what keeps me coming back.
2016-09-17-12-27-51There are four 6×8 papers Learning and Up in the Sky. I love, love, love the woodgrain and texture look to these papers. I’m going to make dashboards and dividers out of them.
2016-09-17-12-28-32In this kit I got:
A 3×5 notepad with a pink mum on it that says “Be happy. Be Bright. Be You!” – the grid is a huge plus – I have a problem with spacing when I write, lol
A 5×7 planner sticker sheet – this is the same each month, with the kits’ colors and themes
A date sticker sheet – it has typical planner stickers – dates, headers, checklists, bubbles
A puffy sticker sheet – decorative stickers in the kits’ themes and colors
A gold gem pen – this is really, really pretty! I love writing with pretty pens!!!
A wood cut sticky note pad – it’s sitting on the notepad (not a good place in this pic, sorry) – they look like a slice from a tree – how cool is that???
2016-09-18-14-49-36Above is the washi – “a little roll of happy” – Yes. Yes It Is. It’s orange woodgrain – how cool is that??
2016-09-17-12-29-18Above you can see:
A clip made of burlap with brown ribbon woven through it – love the texture!
6 Tab die cuts – I use these as week/section dividers
Fall die cuts – mum, pinecone, and those, hmm . . . I don’t know what you call them . . . but they’re the whirly things that have seeds in them . . .
2016-09-17-12-29-56You also get monthly inserts. Above are the double-sided month tab page, it has the dark brown woodgrain design, and the month-on-two-pages. The front of the pages is in the left pic and the back of the pages in the right pic.

2016-09-17-12-30-46You get 5 double-sided week-in-review pages, above are the front and back of the one page. They’ve added more texture to the sheet on the left this month – some woodgrain on Monday and some diagonal lines on Wednesday, as well as some falling leaves – Love It!
2016-09-17-12-31-26You also get 5 sets of double-sided weekly-overview pages – one side is in the left pic and the other side is in the right pic. One of the things I like the most about Cocoa Daisy inserts is that there’s LOTS of space to make lists, write notes, document activities, create goals, etc.

2016-09-17-12-32-31Last, but definitely not least, are 32 double-sided daily to-do pages. They always do something fun to the hydrate section – this month they put a bouquet of mums in one of the glasses – just a little something to look forward to each month. They’ve also added “get something pretty for myself” to the to-do list, lol.
2016-09-17-12-33-26I also get the Daisy Dori every month – I’m using my Dori to get myself ready to start a homemade card business on etsy. The Cocoa Daisy Dori includes a kraft embossed cover that says “Start Here” on it (fun to decorate), a monthly calendar, 3 lined journaling pages, 11 blank, with design, pages, 10 graph paper pages with 3 sections, 10 unlined paper pages with 3 sections, and the last page has a design on it.

I also purchased the Pinecone stamp set designed by arleigh, and the Simple Stories ‘The Reset Girl’ icon stickers – which included 8 4×6 sticker sheets – I am a HUGE fan of The Reset Girl!!!!

September 2016 ScribblePrintsCo Monthly Mystery Collection

2016-09-05-15-15-22Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m using my September 2016 ScribblePrintsCo Monthly Mystery Collection in my InkWell Press planner. I use this planner to track my social media data – blog views, instagram followers, and Pinterest followers. This isn’t a daily type of planner, so I won’t use most of the planner stickers – I’ll use them in a different planner, though. Nothing goes to waste!!

The September collection has a planner girl theme using dark blue, hot pink, light blue, and purple. I went through my washi stash and picked some rolls that will coordinate with the collection.
2016-09-05-15-15-47The collection also came with a black gel pen, this notepad, and a gold bow clip. I’ve never seen a notepad like this before! Isn’t it cool? The cover is very realistic and the notes have lines – thankful for the lines – I don’t want to think about writing straight and spacing my lists items.
2016-09-05-15-16-22Here’s the month-on-two-pages. This is where I track my social media numbers – it’s easy to look back and get an overall view of the month’s numbers. Look at all that scrumptious color!!

I love that the ScribblePrintsCo kits match my IWP – this month is purple and light blue. Yessssss!! And there’s the gold bow clip on the top of the right page – I really like being a girl, lol.
2016-09-05-15-17-05Here’s the first week which starts on Thursday. You can see the end of last month and the beginning of this month. I’m really loving the layered washi – I added some gold polka-dotted washi – there’re gold bow clips and gold binder clips on some of the stickers.
2016-09-05-15-17-45Here’s a blank spread all ready to get to work. Check out the planner girl on the right page – doesn’t it look like she’s walking down a carpeted hallway???
2016-09-05-15-19-45I skipped some of the weeks because they pretty much look the same. The last week is shown above. I used a strip of gold glitter washi to indicate the end of September and the beginning of October.

You know, I don’t have to decorate my planners – BUT it’s so much more enjoyable to work in a pretty space – don’tcha think????

2016-08-25 21.40.54These are really cool! They’re like project life cards, but they’re made out of veneer – not really sure what I’m going to do with these, but they are unique!!!! Maybe color them? Watercolors?

Wonder if my We R Memory Keepers Big Bite would punch holes in them? I’ll let ya know . . .

2016-08-25 21.41.25This is a large weave, rustic-looking bag with a navy/white/strip planner charm inside it. The charm also has a fish hook and mermaid charms attached to it! Adorable!!!!!
2016-08-25 21.41.59This beautiful bag has two sheets of stickers in it – you can never have enough stickers, right???? And, they are awesome!!!!
