Coloring with JOY

The Inspire Bible provides some wonderful artwork on the margins of many of its pages to color.  There's something very relaxing about coloring.  Guess that's why it is so popular now.  Even more special to sit with your Bible and read a bit and then color a bit.  Is bringing much joy my way.

Washi, Washi, Washi - Not Just for Planners

Washi tape - dreamy, thin, often translucent tape in tons of colors and patterns!  Use it in your planner.  Use it as an alternative to ribbon when wrapping gifts.  That's what I did here.  And I really like using it this way!

Planners Unite

What do you get when a bunch of planner babes get together to plan?  Planner MeetUp!  Thanks to the sweet friend who got me interested in planning and who is the leader of our group, this is a wonderful, instant group of friends who share the love of all things planner.  Ladies of all ages and backgrounds come together and have fun chatting and decorating planners of all kinds.  This is the planner stack from our MeetUp at Michaels.  Plan on!

Combining planning with using an electronic Die-cutting machine - ahhhhhh, now that's something to savor over a cup of Joe.  Why not?!  I printed and cut out these images using my Cricut Explore via the Cricut Design Space free software.  Using an Avery shipping label allows you to make a sticker.  Print, cut and stick.

Planner Happiness

Finding planner happiness is a common mantra among planners.  I really enjoy my Happy Planner by Me and My Big Ideas.  The cover is what drew me in and the rings make it easy to take things out and add them in.  So, who knew I needed a planner?  Apparently my planner friend did!  She was instrumental in getting me interested and started.  And when I discovered that planning is actually a combination of keeping track of a schedule AND papercrafting, stamping, and decorating - well, I was IN.  And so it begins...
