All About The Planner

Okay, the thing you don't really know is that for about the last 18 months I have become a total planner obsessive!  I don't know why I haven't really documented it in here, but just to bring you up to speed:
I am a massive fan of everything Simple Stories make.  So when they brought out the Carpe Diem planner, it was love at first sight.  I got the Robin's Egg blue for my birthday last year.  But if you'd told me I'd end up with more than one, I'd have laughed.  But then this happened:

From the bottom:
My beautiful Kikki K. I love her.  She is now my Wellness planner.  I keep all my Slimming World notes and meal plans and anything connected to health in here.
The pink one is my Reset Girl one.  She is actually in storage for use next year, but I knew if I didn't buy one I'd regret it for ever!
Next is my original, my Robin's Egg blue.  She is my current day-to-day planner.
And then, this year, I grabbed the Floral Dot planner.  I wasn't even sure what I was going to use her for, when I bought her, but she is now my Faith planner.
Bear in mind that I've got a set of the Posh design pages in a drawer, ready for use in 2019 and you can see this has become quite an obsession.
They will get lots of mentions in future posts and I'll show you how I use and decorate the insides of each one.  They really are the loves of my life (and functional, too!) and now I don't know how I ever got through life without them.
More soon, I'm sure
Have a great day!

Colour Q Challenge # 121 and Freshly Made Sketches # 19

Image
Hi folks, hope you're having a good weekend.  I can hardly believe I'm posting again so soon, but I really wanted to get this card on before it's too late. Here are another couple of challenge blogs I've been following since just before Christmas, but I haven't had enough supplies to be able to join in.  The first one is the Colour Q challenge  which as you can see, wants us to use the colours shown in the picture, put together beautifully in the skirt.  I don't have any of the Stampin Up! In Colours yet, so this is the first time I've been able to have a go.  The second challenge blog is Freshly Made Sketches.  I saw this and wondered if I could combine the two challenges. And so here is my card: First of all, I rotated the sketch, I just couldn't work it that way up! I decided to use a kraft card base, and stamped the image (sorry I can't remember the name of it) which I'd inked up in Old Olive, Real Red and More Mustard.

Freshly Made Sketches No. 22

I've had one of those conversations with lovely, lovely hubby.  You know the sort: DH: Can you make me a birthday card for work, please? Me: Of course darling, who's it for? DH: (In a voice of doom) A male colleague  (Cue thunder and lightening!) Me: (Swallowing) No problem.  When do you want it by? DH: (Casually) Tomorrow. Me: You're 'avin a larf! But have I let the situation defeat me?  No, I have not!  But I would like to say a huge thankyou to Freshly Made Sketches , for coming up with one of the most wonderful, and inspiring, sketches I've ever seen. This is what they've given us to work with: And this is the card I made using the sketch: I actually made a prototype card first, just using paper, as there was quite a lot of measuring to work out before I put everything together.  The card is 5x7" but then I went into metric for everything else (The joys of going to school in the '70's!) I cut a 7cm x 7cm square in white card

Dynamic Duos No. 1

Image
Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great Bank Holiday weekend (here in the UK), even if it is raining! Now, many of you probably already know Lesley Croghan, owner of the wonderful Always Playing With Paper blog, who runs her Merry Monday challenge from there.  If you don't, you certainly should pop over when you get time. Anyway, she's now hosting a new challenge, called Dynamic Duos, which you can find here : Her first colour choice is Pool Party and Lucky Limeade, and I couldn't resist having a go.  This is what I've made: The base is 5x7" in Very Vanilla.  (Neutrals are allowed, thank goodness!)  Then I've taken a piece of watercolour card, which is very similar to the vanilla, with the addition of a lovely texture.  I've punched out a flower using my Posy Punch, very close to the edge, so it leaves a gap.  I've put dimensionals on the back of the water colour paper and stuck it onto one of the sheets from the Everyday Enchantment
