Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Summer Vibes– (ft Paper Crown Planner)






For whatever reason I had a horrid time picking out a kit to use today. I think it is just the fact it is too hot to think this week.

Anyway I finally found this kit and it is perfect for the week. All the citrus and summer colors are very happy and go so well with summer.

The kit is called Summer Vibes and it is from the Etsy shop Paper Crown Planner. I have used many kits from this shop over the last couple of years so I guess you could say it is becoming one of my favorite shops.

I didn't even use any extra stickers this week just the ones in the kit.


As I mentioned at the tail end of the video I have started a Facebookpage for this channel/blog and I would love it if you came over and hit that like button. I will be announcing all the videos and blog posts there so it will make it easier to catch all of them. I hope to get the conversation going too so feel free to stop by and say howdy any time.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Donuts– (ft Planner Problem 101)





This week I decided I really wanted to find a cute free printable kit for my Happy Planner and Planner Problem 101 came through once again. I love the kits on this site, they are huge and have so many stickers in them. They also come in sizes for different planners so you can download the size/sizes that you need.

This kit goes with the existing colors in the planner so well and that is a bonus since it so hard to cover up all the excess color on the page. I mean it can be done but it is tough to do.



As mentioned at the end of my video I now have a Facebook page for this channel/blog I would love it if you dropped by and hit the like button. I will be posting over there when I post any blogs or videos and I would also love to get the conversation going over there too. 



Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Summer Sippin'– (ft Pansy's Prints)




This week I went in search of a bright tropical themed kit and I am thrilled with the Summer Sippin' kit from Pansy's Prints. This beautiful 4 page printable kit was only $1.99! I love the bright colors and the tropical drink theme is perfect for the week that summer begins.

This kit is so complete that I didn't pull in any extra stickers at all. I am not convinced that I am happy with the bright colored 3 heart check boxes I used on the weekend but I idn't know what else to do. It would have been nicer to have some small check boxes that matched the big ones but that isn't a complaint just an observation. I do love the double box that I used on the weekend.

As I mentioned at the tail end of the video I have started a Facebook page for this channel/blog and I would love it if you came over and hit that like button. I will be announcing all the videos and blog posts there so it will make it easier to catch all of them. I hope to get the conversation going too so feel free to stop by and say howdy any time.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Indigo Bloom– (ft Spot On Prints)




This week in my Happy Planner I am using this beautiful kit from Spot On Prints on Etsy. The kit is called Indigo Bloom and I think I am in love. Since there is so much blue and pink in my Happy Planner I have been looking for kits that feature those colors and this one is perfect.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Berrylicious– (ft Pinky Studio)




This week I was inspired by all the local farm stands that have fresh, ripe local strawberries when I picked my sticker set for my main planner. I love the berries on this set and the colors are wonderful. I especially love the dark blue, a color I was a little surprised to find when I searched for stickers that were “strawberry” themed.

This beautiful kit is from the Etsy shop Pinky Studio. I love how many stickers are in the kit and the price of $ is certainly reasonable for what you get. You can be sure I will be exploring the shop more thoroughly soon.


Since the kit is so complete I didn't even need to pull in any additional stickers today.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Kittens– (ft Pansy's Prints)

Watch the video here.



We are definitely a cat owned household. In fact I really can't remember a time in my life without a cat. So when I saw this Happy Planner printable kit pop up on my Etsy search I had to get it. It matches the colors for the month of June in my Happy Planner Perfectly and the kitties are just adorable. This kit is from Pansy's Prints on Etsy and it is a 3 page kit.

I am loving the design of this kit and I smile very time I open the planner.

The only thing I wish I would have done differently in laying it out is I wish I would have looked through some of my leftover stickers for some glitter headers to use in place of the “this & that” headers. I think that would have been a better choice for how I use the planner. But that is such a minor thing.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Wild Heart– (ft BEaYOUtiful Planning)





This week's spread couldn't get much different from last week's if I tried. While last week was all soft colors and watercolor this week is a bright and bold jungle theme!

I love this week with all the tropical plants, bright colors, and cute animals. Wild Heart is a gorgeous kit. I found this kit on the BEaYOUtiful Planning shop on Etsy and I love it. I love how the colors blend with the colors in my planner so I don't have to cover up every bit of color. I love how bright and happy it is. And I love that it makes me smile just to look at it.

The kit cost $3.75 and there were a bunch of stickers left over. If you do a more white space layout than I do you could definitely get 2 weeks with just one printing of the kit.

The only sticker I added was the vitamin tracker that I just purchased from Pretty Stock on Etsy. I love that the green matches so well with the kit I am using this week.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner -June Monthly– (ft The Planner Shack)




For the monthly spread for June in my Happy Planner I decided to go really bright and summery and this Flamingo kit certainly is all of that. I love the fun colorful kit and I think it will usher in the summer with the right vibe.

I got the kit from The Planner Shack on Etsy, it was a 2 page kit for $2.50 and it has plenty of stickers for how I plan my monthly. I am a bit confused about the strip I assume was supposed to go over the last days of May. It was shorter than the boxes so maybe it was supposed to go somewhere else??? At least with the addition of the “vacation” strip I made it fit the boxes pretty well.


Since there is so much blue on the weekend days in the monthly spread in my planner that was the main thing I was trying to coordinate with. I looked through a lot of printable kits to find one that I not only loved but that I felt would go with the blue that is already on the pages. The color is not a perfect match but it goes nicely I think and I am looking forward to seeing how the pages look as the month goes on and I add the stickers to represent all my videos and blogs throughout the month.
