Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Fashion Fall– (ft Design Sticker Store)






This week for my Happy Planner I was once again trying to find a sticker kit that would coordinate with the existing pink in the Happy Planner and still be fall themed. I think this Fall Fashion kit from Design Sticker Store does a pretty good job. It isn't exactly the same pink as in the planner but it blends nicely, better in person than on the video or the photos actually.

This was a very small kit, only one page so it wouldn't be the choice of someone that wanted a no white space look but I find no white space a bit much in the Happy Planner anyway, I did add some date covers, they were from My Planner Envy a great site for free printable planner stuff. There were even matching habit trackers included.

I also added a strip of gold washi tape to cover the bottom header strip in the planner.

I think the only thing I wish had been in the kit would be one more decorative box and maybe one more ombre checkbox. That being said I am very happy with how the spread turned out without these items so they weren't that big of a deal.

I am not normally a fan of the fashion girl thing but it is not overpowering in this kit so I do like it here.




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 –Fall Floral– (ft Ruby Red Iris Prints)





This week I went in search of a fall kit that had some green in the color scheme so that it would blend better with the colors in the Recollections Planner this month. This kit not only hit on the colors I was looking for it also features rain as a theme which is so on topic for fall where I live. Also the price was fantastic at only $1 it was a no brainer for this week. The kit is from Ruby Red Iris Prints on Etsy, I know I have featured this shop before on this channel. Be sure to follow the link and check out the stickers over there.

I did decide to add date covers since the green in the kit wasn't a great match for the green in the planner, these are from I Love 2 Print also on Esty.

I also added some hydrate stickers to the week since I really find them helpful to me. The shop I got these from doesn't seem to be open at the moment but I know there are lots of hydrate stickers on Etsy.

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




This month in my Happy Planner I decided to use the monthly freebie over on the Beayoutiful Planning website. I love the kit and it is so pretty and soft. Since by the end of the month my monthly spreads can get kind of busy I am really ready for a break from the bright colors I have used in the past several months.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –November– (ft Design Lovely Studio)





This month in my Recollections Planner I decided to go very traditional for my November Monthly Spread. I really love this kit from Design Lovely Studio with all the fall colors and traditional Thanksgiving/harvest motifs. The price of the kit was $2.30 so a really good deal too.

The only thing that I wanted to add was a notes page kit. Since I also love the clip art that Beayoutiful Planning chose for her free monthly kit I decided to use the notes page from that in my planner. I was torn between the two kits so this way I get both of them in this planner. (I also used the Beayoutiful Planning monthly kit in my Happy Planner)

I don't really track a lot in my monthly spreads so the typical sidebar that is included in most kits is wasted in my planner. A couple of weeks ago I realized that instead of putting all those lists over in the sidebar that I never use I could use some of the decorative boxes that are included in a lot of kits. I don't usually use those either but many times they are so pretty I hate to skip them. Now I have a place to use them and I don't feel pressured to think of something to try to list in the sidebar.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Halloween– (ft Plan With Samia)




This week I am using Halloween themed kits in both my planners. For my Happy Planner I picked this cute Halloween kit from the Esty Shop Plan with Samia. I am pretty sure this is the first time using a kit from this shop and I will definitely be shopping there again. This kit is so cute and very easy to work with. There are plenty of stickers on the two pages for my weekly plans. The cost of the kit was great too at only $1.25! I love a good deal so much.

I was concerned at the beginning about how to hide the pink of the Happy Planner with the kit but in the end as soon as I covered the bright pink headers everything came together. The pink on the weekend accented the kit perfectly and brought out the background color of some of the boxes and the date covers.

The only problem I had with the kit was the strip that assume was supposed to go at the bottom of the Monday-Wednesday page was too short. A lot too short but I had some washi to replace it with so it all worked out in the end.

I love the mix of my favorite color (purple) with the bright green that I would probably normally avoid. And can we say enough about the eye balls used on the checklists?? Too cute.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Halloween Night– (ft Design Sticker Store)




Since Halloween is this week I went full out Halloween in both my planners. I am in love with this Halloween Night kit from the Etsy shop Design Sticker Store. It is so cute and definitely shouts Halloween. And since purple is my favorite color I love the purple and black mixed in with the more traditional orange colors. The price of the kit was $1.80.

The one thing I wish I would have done differently is that I really wish I would have lined the bottom washi that came with the kit at the bottom of the page and used the washi tape above it rather than the way I did it. Then I would have been covering the washi tape with the dinner stickers and not any of the cute clip art from the kit. Not a huge deal but a regret none the less.

The only sticker I needed to bring in was some habit trackers. I got these from a multi-color sheet from the Etsy shop- Thankis Digital Art, unfortunately it appears they are no longer on Etsy. I am so glad I got that sheet, I use it a lot. I am really sad to find the shop has closed. I purchased a lot of my sticker sheets from them.

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




This week I am using a free kit from Planner Problem 101 called Fall Forest in my Happy Planner. I love this kit with its fall colors.

Planner Problem 101 has some wonderful and generous kits, this one has a total of 7 pages. The main kit has 6 pages then there is an additional Sampler Page besides. The kit has specific pages for both the Erin Condren and the Happy Planner so you can print the pages that are sized to your planner. These are some of the reasons this has become one of my favorite sources of free printable planner stickers. Be sure to check the site out if you haven't recently.
