New Monthly Overview Page

I hit a massive planner slump recently.  I finally realized that weekly pages had far more information than I needed on them with me working from home.  I designed this monthly overview that I can add to as I need during the month.  I think this might work from me.  I might do a series of motivational pages (mostly to use more stickers lol) to keep the creative juices flowing.

I Scrapbooked!

So, I have discovered memory planning.  I am in love.  I finished a spread from January, trying to finish out January this weekend.  This is inauguration day, my chucks and pearls shirt that I made and my foray into Keto desserts.

 

I also did my weekly planning.  Used an entire sheet of small dolls up from a sticker book.  I have been trying to figure out how to use these small stickers for a while.  Very pleased with this spread.

It's My Birthday!

 

Today is my birthday, and its the start of a new challenge at Use Your Stuff.  This week is a mood board challenge.  The water and the colors reminded me of the beach.  I decided to do a quick circular pop up card/album of the pictures of our trip.

Here is the board if you want to play along! You have two weeks to link up your projects.

The Planner Blahs

Has anyone else got the planner blahs since the pandemic?  I am working from home everyday and all my activities are virtual.   I just don't have that same zeal for planning like I used to.  So...Since we have all been at home, I have changed it up a bit and moved into a cute new B6 planner.  I still don't decorate it as much, but when I do, I really like the way regular sticker kits fit into it without alteration.  

This week the challenge at Use Your Stuff challenge blog is to use patterns.  I used a sticker kit that was all patterned sticker paper.  And I really liked it even though I haven't used patterned paper in ages.

The planner kit is from a shop on Etsy and the doll is from Capitol Chic designs.  I really love how this turned out.

Covid-19 and Mojo

 

This corona virus has me feeling some kinda way.  My mojo was already on hiatus, but the whole virus thing had just wiped out what little mojo I had.  So when the Use your Scraps blog team got a challenge to use a mood board to create a challenge, I took the new digital stamp set Hello from Home that I purchased from The Greeting Farm and printed it out.  I pulled colors that were close to those in the mood board, and that spoke spring to me (since the board spoke spring to me) and colored away.  Frankly, I am quite pleased.  I LOVE the way her hair came out, and the whole card has a really cohesive feel because I took my colors from the mood board.  And I even used some years old dots that I had in my stash to tie the colors together.

Here is the board if you want to try using it for inspiration.  I hope you are all doing well with the shelter in place and find a little time to relax and create.

Shaker card

So, I did a thing today.  I made a card.  And there is no coloring.  And it was really fun!  Kinda felt like I was cheating on my Copics.  But I did go back to my first love and use my silhouette so it is not quite as bad as it seems.  Hope you like the card.

Fall Scene Card

There is a new challenge up at Use Your stuff.  I am the hostess this week.  For the challenge, I selected a fall mood board.

For the challenge, use this board to inspire a project of your choosing.  I chose to use my skills that I learned at Copic Boot Camp to draw in a fall scene on my card base around my stamped doll.

I was really surprised to see how well it turned out!  So, play along so we can see what you create.

It's my Birthday Week!

 

And I remembered to use my August Birthday girl stickers that I have.  Love this planner spread.  And I super love this flat lay design.  Thanks for stopping by!

Disney Inspired Planner Spread

The challenge this week is Disney Inspired.  I decided to do a disney inspired planner spread for next week with the super cute Disney stickers I found on ETSY.  Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine Card

I am hosting the new challenge at Use Your Stuff blog.  The challenge is masculine.  For the challenge, I created a masculine card, altering the hair to look like my son.   I also broke out my ink blending make up brushes.  I found these on amazon in the beauty area and find that they are identical to the much more expensive ones sold by the scrappy companies.  I believe my set of 10 brushes was about $15.  And they do an AWESOME ink blended background.  I used Bristol smooth card stock, and Distress oxide ink for my blend and it is soooo smooth.  

I would love to have you join us at the challenge.
