Plan with me in my Happy Planner – April Monthly– (ft goDIGIgo)




Since I use my Happy Planner for mostly YouTube and Blog stuff the things I track in the monthly spread are related to those topics. I know this is not how most of you use your planner but I still wanted to show off the kit I purchased and maybe someone out there will benefit from seeing how I track my videos and blogs.

The kit I am using for April is from the Etsy shop goDIGIgo and I just love it. I decided to go all out for Easter on this spread and I am so happy I did. I can't wait to see how it looks at the end of the month with all my video/blog tracking stickers and the decorative stickers in place.

Since I will have blog tracking stickers on almost every day of the month I am going to wait until those are in place to put any decorative stickers.

As a side not I can't believe I stuck the Easter sticker on the wrong day..... WOW. Sorry about that. At least I caught it.

In the March spread I showed you saw the stickers I use to track my videos that I got from Ellums on Etsy. As well as the pencil stickers I use for blog posts that don't have a video with them, those came from JS Digital Paper, also on Etsy.

Plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner – Sunshine Floral– (ft Sweet Bella Prints)




For my Mini Happy Planner this week I chose a printable kit from the Etsy Shop Sweet Bella Prints. Can I say how much I love this kit. It is so pretty in person, the video really doesn't do it justice.

This one page kit is really very complete, I had several stickers left over when I was done. I think it is perfect for any white space planner.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Spring is Near– (ft Vintage Glam Studio)






This week I found this wonderful free printable kit from Vintage Glam Studios that I just had to use. On a normal week I would have already had my stickers printed by Friday when this was released but since I had run out of ink last week when I printed my stickers and had to wait for the new shipment I lucked out and was able to print this the day it was released.

The soft spring colors are so nice and since spring does start next week (at least that is what the calendar says) the name is perfect.

I decided to print 2 copies of the 1 page kit so that I would have most of what I needed.

I did have to add some checklists and since I had just grabbed this 3 page set of ombre checklists sized for the Happy Planner from Juicy Planner on Etsy I decided to use those. The brown color worked really nice for this spread.

I didn't realize until I was filming that the page didn't have a weekend banner but I had several left over from free pintable kits that I had used from Planner Addiction. I am not sure which set this one came from but the site has many wonder free printable kits most of them come with extra weekend banners.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Spring Tribal-(ft Ellums)




This week I am using a tribal kit, I think this is the first tribal kit I have used in this planner. I have used several in my Happy Planner but not in this one for some reason.

I love this kit! It has beautiful colors and the designs that were chosen are very calm but not boring.


This printable kit is from the Etsy shop Ellums, be sure to check out her other printable stickers in her shop.

Plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner –Saint Patrick's Day– (ft Print Them All Studio)




This week I decided I had to have Saint Patrick's Day themed stickers in all my planners. For my Mini Happy Planner I found this really cute 3 page kit from Print Them All Studio on Etsy. It is soooo cute. I think the quote box is my favorite sticker off all three of my holiday kits this week. And I love the sticker with the feet!


Since this planner is just for in my purse so I can reference it on the go I don't record a lot in it. That being said I have found it to be so useful in the last couple of months. It is so nice to have a planner that is small enough to go with me.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –St Patrick's Day– (ft Sticker Planning)





This week I decided to purchase a kit for my Happy Planner rather than use a free kit. The main reason was I really wanted a Saint Patrick's Day theme and I didn't really see any free ones. I found this Happy Planner sized kit at the Etsy Shop Sticker Planning.

Since I use this planner for my Youtube and blog stuff there are always a lot of stickers in kits I don't use and this kit is no exception. There is plenty of stickers to do a couple of weeks at least from just the one printing of the 3 page kit. Especially if you don't use a full box on every day.

I really like how the green tones of the kit blend nicely with the green at the top of the page in the planner. I was also able to cover almost all of the purple that is in the planner.

In hindsight I wish I had run the decorative full boxes right up under the whited out full boxes but there is no way to move them. I will try to keep that in mind next time.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –St. Patrick's Day– (ft ATArt Digital)





This week I decided to go with the holiday theme of Saint Patrick's Day for my planner stickers. I love this kit! It is very green, very Saint Patrick's and still comes off as very pretty and airy.

The kit is from the Etsy Shop ATArt Digital and was only $1.80 for the 3 pages.

The only real fault I could find with this kit was that there seem to only be 6 of each of the headers. I would have preferred to have 7 especially of the today ones since I use one of those every day. I would assume most people would have wanted to have 7 of the to do ones too. Other that than that the kit is really nice. There are plenty of the other things in the kit.

The only stickers I had to add to make the kit work for me were my hydrate sticker which is from the Etsy shop Thanksis Digital Art, and the 3 heart checklists from the Etsy shop Luna Paperland.


I really love how the finished spread looks and can't wait to turn the page in my planner and start using it.

Plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner –Bright Floral– (ft Vintage Glam Studio)




This week I am working with another free printable form Vintage GlamStudio. I love these little kits especially since I only use this planner a few days a week. I don't keep track of a lot of things in this planner and these kits are just fine for what I do.

The kit this week (Bright Floral) is so colorful and pretty just what I needed to see after the weather the last few days.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Terrarium Plants– (ft Sweet Paper Prints)






This week I wanted to really highlight the green color of the planner and the idea of a kit with lots of plants appealed to me. I started looking and found one I had favorited a while back. I love this kit and was happy to have a week that was perfect for it.

The kit is called Terrarium Plants and it is from the Etsy Shop Sweet Paper Prints.

I had almost everything I needed to plan out my week. I did pull in a habit tracker that allowed my to track 3 habits instead of just one (the sticker originally had room for 4 habits, I just cut off the bottom one). It was from  Ruby Red Iris Prints on Etsy.

The hydrate stickers I have had forever. They were one of the very first printable stickers I purchased when I started planning. They are so handy and since they are white with black they go with just about every kit. They were from Silver Shed Crafts on Etsy.

Plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner –Adventure – (ft Beayoutiful Planning)





This week I discovered that one of my favorite Etsy shops (Beayoutiful Planning) for Mini Happy Planner stickers has free printables also. Actually they have free printables for the regular Happy Planner and for the Erin Condren too. I was so happy that I had to try out some of the stickers offered. I used a set in my regular Happy Planner this week too. The kits are very complete for the way I use both of these planners so I am very happy.

The kit I picked out for the Mini Happy Planner is called Adventure and I love the soft colors of the kit. They go so well with the existing colors of the planner so I didn't need to add the extra bulk of strips of washi to cover up areas. I like to use the strips some weeks but we all know that after a lot of weeks that adds a lot of bulk to the planner.

Since I tend to plan pretty light in this planner I am confident I can get two full weeks out of the kit. The only thing I will be missing is an extra weekend banner. Since some the kits I have used already don't come with a weekend banner I am not too worried. Also I have some leftover weekend banners from kits for my regular Happy Planner that I might be able to pull in. I will decide when I get around to doing that spread.

I love how happy and cheerful the colors of this kit are, I know I am going to enjoy using my planner this week.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Wild n' Free– (ft Beayoutiful Planning)





This week I was roaming around the internet looking for some free printable stickers and came upon the website for Beayoutiful Planning. I have purchased some stickers from her Etsy shop but I had no idea she had free printables available too. I found so many wonderful kits on her site.

The one I am using in my Happy Planner today is the Wild n' Free set. It is sized for the Happy Planner so it fits in really well and the colors are perfect for this week.

I am really finding myself drawn to the tribal type designs for the Happy Planner. For whatever reason the go so well in this planner.
