Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Harvest– (ft Maritza Dominguez Shop)





This week I am using this beautiful Harvest themed kit from MaritzaDominguez Shop on Etsy. It was on sale for only $2.10 so a fantastic deal for a 3 page kit that even has leftovers and I didn't need to raid my sticker stash to fill in anything. I love that the colors go so perfectly with the Recollections Planner's color this month and that meant that I didn't even need date covers.

I am so happy to be starting to use some fall themed kits, I'm not going full fall theme until it cools off a bit more here though. I think one of the things I love the most about decorating my planner is when the seasons start to change and I feel I can shift to the new season for inspiration in my sticker choices. I love to decorate for all the seasons but I think by the time each season is coming to an end I am more than ready to move onto the themes.




As I mentioned in 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 Recollections Planner –Cute Forest Fox– (ft Design Sticker Store)






Since are into the month of September now I decided I am not using any more summer kits, it is time to transition into fall kits. However, the weather here is anything but fall like right now. We are in the midst of yet another heat wave. So I just couldn't bring myself to use a kit filled with fall leaves. The cute foxes in this kit are perfect however. I love them! They are adorable and they fit right into moving to fall. This 3 page kit was only $3 from Design Sticker Store on Etsy. I love everything about the kit from the clip art to the colors used.

As I find with most 3 page printable kits I didn't need to add any extra stickers this week. For me anyway 3 page kits are really complete and most of them give me everything I need to decorate the week the way I want to.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Apple Picking–




Okay, so I was (and still am) very nervous about this Plan with Me. I really hope you guys like my kit that I created and download it. You can do that right here.

If you have suggestions for things you would like to see changed in the kit let me know. I want to create the kits you want to use. I am hoping to to start selling some kits on Etsy soon. I have some things that I am working on for that and have more planned. If there are specific printable sticker items you are looking for talk to me, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks to for watching!

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Planner Girl– (ft Bling Bling Planner)






This week I am using another kit from Bling Bling Planner on Etsy. It really wasn't on purpose, I had totally forgotten where I got this kit from. I bought it a while back on a sale ($2!!) to use sometime in the month of August since the Recollections Planner has the color for the month of August purple. So I now have two weeks in a row from the same shop. The kits are different enough from each other that it really isn't that noticeable when you flip through the pages.


Purple is my favorite color so I love this kit, I love the color combo and it is not one I use myself but always love it when I run into it.


The only sticker I felt the need to add this week was a dinner menu tracker from Thanksis Digital Arts on Etsy. I use a lot of stickers from this shop, if you haven't already I suggest you go check out what they have to offer.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Succulents- (ft My Planner Envy)





This week in my Happy Planner I decided to go with this free kit from Planner Envy that is succulents themed. I love the artwork on the kit and the simplicity of the design. Also the fact that the colors blend fairly well with the colors in my Happy Planner is definitely a bonus.

I am really not sure why all the stickers came out just a tad bit too small in this kit. I have used her kits before I don't remember having this issue with those but it was a long time ago. It's really not a big deal and frankly it gives the pages a bit more space and without space the Happy Planner can be a bit crowded.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Black Flower– (ft Bling Bling Planner)




This week I have a really pretty kit from the Etsy Shop Bling Bling Planner that I picked up last week (or the one before???) on their $2 Tuesday sale. I love the kit, I was a little worried with I got ready to print it since I am out of my normal glossy paper and had to use matte but it still turned out beautiful.

I love the fact that the kits I have been choosing for my spreads are all so different but they just fit at the same time. So much fun to flip through and enjoy the art of the stickers.

This kit was short a couple of stickers that I really find helpful in my week so I simply raided my stash of functional stickers to fill in the gaps.

The hydrate stickers are among the first printable stickers I got back in 2015 when I first started planning with stickers. They are from the Etsy Shop Silver Shed Crafts.

The meal planning sticker is from a sheet I picked up from Paper CrownPlanner also on Etsy. They have a lot of really charming printable stickers be sure to check them out.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –September Monthly– (ft BEaYOUtiful Planning)





Since I like to get my monthly spread in my Happy Planner done really early the month before I have been keeping my eyes open for monthly kits for a while now. I actually ran into this one when I was visiting all my favorite free printable sites looking for weekly kits last week. This one is from BEaYOUtiful Planning's website. I the kits she makes so many of them are just perfect for me. I debated for a day or two about this monthly kit since the people at Happy Planner decided to make the color for the weekends on the September monthly pages pink, but in the end I love it too much to care that the colors don't go very well.

This kit is very generous especially since it is a free one. I had a lot of pieces leftover. I will try to remember to pull from some of those pieces during the month for various things I do record in this spread.
