Week Thirty Four

It's been a crazy week here after fur baby number four got spayed. Trying to get a five month old kitten to lay down and rest is not as easy as it sounds! 

We're also building up to our next trip, so in light of that the excitement is reflected in my planner this week! 

I've opted for a girly pink week in my planner using princess washi tape (from Amazon) and some Aurora stickers I picked up in the range. The countdown stickers I made myself.

My personal size is coordinated again this week as I couldn't get enough of the princess tape, even though I have been a bit cack handed with it. 

I opted for skinny tape in my personal size too as it gives me more space to write in the boxes. 

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, I hope you're having a good week! 

Trip-Planning Tuesday

I've got a couple of trips coming up, so naturally this gave me an excuse for a new planner to both plan and document my holiday. I'm loving setting it up and can't wait for the first of my holidays.

I opted for this fun polka dot planner and even had a go at printing some bits whilst I wait for everything else to arrive so I can really get my teeth in. I made these by searching for free disney printable silhouettes on google then adding the striped backgrounds.

This planner also means I've had an excuse to use my TKMaxx bargain, although it's not stopped me picking up some other pretty things as well.

I discovered the enchanted range this week which is all very princess-esque and lovely.

Firstly I made a pretty set of dividers, although I'm in two minds about laminating them as they become very heavy when I do this.

So far I've planned my sections and what is going in each one. I used my label maker from Hema to identify each divider. I think the black works really well with the paper too.

Lastly I couldn't resist a pretty page marker to help me find my place when I get there.

Now I've started my planner I've really got the bug and am impatient to complete both this one, and the one for my trip to Orlando in October. I'd best get cracking I guess! 

Week 26

I've opted for contrasting themes this week in each planner. Both are colourful and fun. One of the things I really love about a multiplanner system is how it allows me more options when playing around with decoration in my set up.

In my color crush this week I've opted for Hema tapes in vibrant colours. I love those eye catching shades and the funky patterns! 

My tweed however, I decided to go princess-y on you all and used eBay washi finds to decorate my page and some princess stickers to carry the theme on. 

Cinders here adorns this week's pages after I found these puffy stickers in the pound shop.

She is of course accompanied by her friends on the tape too. It certainly gives me a smile this week.

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, I hope you have a good week! 

Monthly Dividers

I do love making dividers and will find any excuse to make new ones, so this week I've been making monthly dividers for my planner. 

I'm absolutely in love with these as they carry on my princess theme, although you'll notice that some of the tabs are a touch uneven, I need a bit more practice there.

On the whole I'm really pleased with the way they turned out though. I used a princess paper stack I bought through Amazon, which was just the right size for making A5 dividers without the pictures overpowering the dividers.

There was a greater variety of princesses than the previous paper stack I used and because the paper was double sided I was able to create contrasting tabs.

You can't really tell from the pictures but lots of the paper was glittery and it gives a lovely sparkle to the paper.

I loved that the paper even included Pocahontas as she (and Belle) was a favourite growing up. One or two of the dividers writing on them too which looks lovely.

I keep opening my planner to look at them, though you'll notice in my excitement I forgot to write the months on them before I laminated... Whoops! It hasn't stopped me enjoying them though.

Personal Size Dividers

After I finished the dashboard for my personal size, I got straight on with dividers to match. They're from the same paper as my A5 dividers but in a slightly different order. 

I'm really pleased with them, I think my favourite might be the one on the bottom right. It's got Sebastian from The Little Mermaid on it.

I love how pretty these are and the pink interior of my Filofax complements them really well in my opinion.

I've really enjoyed making these, but I think I might do something other than Disney for my next set, although saying that, I've already started planning my winter set up. Nothing like being organised! 

Personal Size Dashboard

I've been crafting and creating again, this time making a dashboard for my personal size. I toyed with the idea of doing something different, but as it's supposed to work alongside my A5 I decided that the dashboard would be very similar. 

It's not exactly the same as my A5, but from the same paper stock. The only down side to this was that some of the pictures were too big to use as the personal is smaller. The paper was from Amazon and is Disney themed scrapbook paper. There's a huge selection available but I opted for the princess papers.

Hole punching was an experience too. I bought a rapesco personal size hole punch a while back, believing it to be A5. Not only was it a bit stiff, though I attributed this to the laminated paper, but it was trickier than I expected to line up. I'll need a bit more practice before I do dividers to match the dashboard.

All in all though, I'm happy with the way it has turned out. It looks so sweet in the front of my planner.

More Dividers

As always I've been enjoying some craft time this weekend, making dividers for my tweed and some cute paperclips. The dividers match my dashboard and add to the girly feel of my planner. 

I still had a little difficulty with the laminator, although these came out better than the Roald Dahl ones. My favourite one is the green one. 

They look fab in my planner too. I think these might be my favourite thing in my planner yet.

I also took some time to make some pretty paperclips this weekend with some flowers I got from the pound shop. 

I really liked the colours in the selection, they're really pretty and they look really sweet in my personal size too. 

And here's a wider selection of my newly decorated paperclips:

Dashboard

Feeling a little bit crafty tonight I've made a pretty new dashboard for my tweed. It's not anything special but I'm pleased with it anyway. 

Ta da! 

I bought some girly princess scrapbook paper before Christmas then used the original dashboard that came with the planner as a template. I then laminated and hole punched it and voila! A lovely girly front page for my planner. 

It was far easier than I anticipated so I'll be attempting some dividers next!
