A Little Bit of Planner Excitement

Hello everyone I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are all collecting photos and bits and bobs to add to the awesome new 2016 planner you have. Planners are a fabulous way to record your every day life from appointments to records of exciting events in your life.

I have been using the Heidi Swapp planner since Heidi introduced her 2014 planner one to match the hello today range. This planner was awesome for small snippets of your life as the was only small circle for you to record your events, there are still some of these available in the shop now.

In 2015 Heidi introduced 2 awesome planners one in black and white and the other is water colour this is the one that I chose to use it was the softness of the green and the silver that I loved and this is still available in the shop and the bonus of Heidi Swapp Planners is that they are undated and can be used for any year.  

I am sharing with you today some of my December 2015 pages many of the pages I wont share as they are very personal to me but stay tuned in the the new year for some I will be sharing.

At the start of each month I like to decorate my start of month page for December I have used Heidi Swapps Believe Christmas range

I then like to use the next page to include 2 special photos from the month and I briefly write what they mean to me as its not the end of the month yet and I have some more places I am going the are currently blank. I always include lots of little bits and pieces I have collect during the month to decorate my journal.

 

The next page always has a large area for writing or decorating and I tend to create a mini layout here again using a small photo from the month that is special.
 

I love the month page and use it as a quick reference as to what is happening and when and love to use random items to mark the days on here.

As with all Heidi's new planners there are so many pages for documenting your life I use the middle ones to record life as a journal rather than a diary this is where I right about what is and has happened in my life I also include photo's in here and instax camera's are awesome for this.

 

I hope you all love doing your planners and that I have provided you with some inspiration with your 2016 planner, Don't forget that Scrapping Clearly has an amazing rage of products suitable for your planner including the new monthly planner kit which contains all sort of exciting bits and pieces that you can include in your planner.

Good morning everyone today I am sharing my take on the sketch with you all the sketch is just awesome and so easy to use.

I have used the amazing range of Wanderlust from Heidi Swapp to create this LO and Scrapping Clearly carries the whole range.
I love the water colour effect of the papers and how cleverly Heidi has manged to mix geometric, vintage and watercolours together to create this range.

Below is my layout I have fussy cut the papers and used the paper clip embellishments.

and below is the sketch 

This close up shows how I have made tags from the range ans used the paper clips and the fussy cutting.

 

and she has also bought out her most amazing hand writing in chipboard and you can see how amazing it looks below.

I hope you have enjoyed my share and take on the sketch

Good morning everyone. Today I am sharing with you a layout i have created using awesome products from The Robin's Nest.

I have made a mixed media Lo simple yet with lots of details.

I have used The Robins Nest flowers and script paper as well as chipboard from Gina's Design
The close up shows the details of the stencil I have used

 

And this close up shows how I have worked the flowers chipboard and dew drops into my layout

If you would like to recreate my layout you can use the following instructions

Kim's Love You Layout Instructions

1 x packet Christmas Dew Drops
2 x sheet of Wedding Cut Out Cards paper

1 x packet of Rusty Rose Flowers
1 x packet of Leafy Green Collection Ribbons

Foam 3D mounting tape, ordinary tape and wet glue

Step 1

Take your stencil and apply the floral pattern all over one sheet of the Wedding out cards paper and apply the stencil all over the sheet using the texture paste

Step 2 
I then took the mists and sprayed 2 - 3 shots at the top of the page while it was standing up and allowed it to run down the page through the stencil pattern set aside to dry

Step 3 

Take your other sheet of the Wedding out cards paper and cards you like to use I have use one of the larger ones to mount my photo on

Now take your gauze and tease it out to be stringy and tattered

Step 4
When back ground is dry cut a piece of the green brad from the Leafy Green Collection Ribbons pack and adhere it cup the center of the LO then adhere the gauze over and then start layering your cut out cards on and adhering with 3D foam tape

Step 5

take the flower pack and make 2 flowers by using a brad you layer 5 flowers from smallest to largest on to the brad the open brad to hold and the scrunch up the flowers around the top of the brad to form a rose look using some chip board flourishes adhere to the layout as per image of layout, then take drew drops and adhere as per image.
