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

I’m getting my create on and putting the May LGL Kit 12 Now and Then In Action!!!! This month’s kit is in the Honey Girl color palette of raspberry, pink, green, turquoise, and blue – beautiful, bright colors!!

This is the May divider in my Coral Carpe Diem planner. I use this planner to track my social media data – blog views, Instagram followers, and Pinterest “My Projects” board followers.

Here is the month-on-two-pages spread. When I’m decorating planner pages, the first thing I do is add washi. The next thing I do is see if the larger ephemera will fit somewhere.

So . . . I ran a piece of washi across the top, put the F U N and May diecuts at the top. And I put some of the ticket stubs across the bottom, dividing it between the pages.

Then I put the date labels in the appropriate boxes – really, those view master reels are perfect and add pizzazz to the page – Lovin’ this! I used the Simple Stories Carpe Diem hole reinforcers on the holes – because, you know, there wasn’t enough color, lol.

I added some stickers, sentence strips, and stamped a heart with the stamp kit from last month and the Lime Pie ink from this month’s kit.

Here’s the goal page – I added the large view master reel here, stamped a heart, added tickets and stickers, this was soooooo much fun!!!!!

Week 1: I made a booboo when I was writing the dates in (yeah, started on the wrong day), so I used a 1/2” scallop punch, punched out circles, attached them, and labeled them – cute, huh? You can solve a lot of problems with stickers, lol.

I like to add extra writing space, so I hinged one of the journal cards here with washi. I overlapped some of the gumboil stickers and trimmed them off at the edge of the pages – layering stickers is a really fun way to create unique decor.

I’ll write around the angled tickets – makes the page look dimensional???? Anyway, I like the way the page looks after I write around designs.

Week 2: I put the pinwheel jar diecut on this page – I also inserted the single pinwheel and it’s just the right addition, don’t you think? I’m really loving the tickets – I tore this one on purpose, and really like the way it looked.

I hinged another journal card on the right side – space for writing . . . one of my favorite planner additions.

Week 3: Aren’t these colors bright and cheerful? I thought I could write on the balloons – wouldn’t that be cute? The little circles on the bottom right section are the centers from the Simple Stories hole reinforcers – use everything!!!!! I’m going to use it as a To Do list.

Week 4: Lots of pink and raspberry on these pages, that mint washi really complements the kit’s colors.

Last Week: One last hinged journal card – doubling writing space.

This kit did not come with library pockets, so I took one from the last kit, covered it in green paper and decorated it. It’s an awesome place to add extras – tickets, memorabilia, receipts, etc.

These are the long journaling cards from this kit – I added kit diecuts and Simple Stories sentence strips to the front and back. I use these for making lists – To Do’s, Shopping, etc.
