Plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner -Stars N' Stripes– (ft Vintage Glam Studio)





A couple of days before I was gathering up my stickers for this week I noticed that Vintage Glam Studio had posted this free kit for the Mini Happy Planner in honor of Memorial Day. I decided I had to use it. It is perfect for the week. It would work well for the week of the 4th of July also.

If you haven't found Vintage Glam Studio's site you will find it here. She has an amazing number of free printable kits for many sizes of planner. She has some non planner things too. I try to check what she new things she has posted on at least once a week.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner -Mermaid– (ft Spot On Prints)




I decided to go with a kit with softer colors this week in my Happy Planner and I think I found the perfect one. I love the colors most of all but the mermaid theme is also just soooo pretty. I love how the mermaids are definitely there and center stage without being over the top. They are really only present on two of the boxes (there are also some half and quarter boxes they appear on that might get added later) Mostly the designs are graphic and just designs but the theme is still obvious. The water color look is perfect too.

I got this kit from Spot On Prints on Etsy and the 2 pages were $2.95 there are a lot of stickers on those two pages too. I love shops that really make use of the entire page for the stickers.

When I went to the Etsy shop to grab the link for this blog I got to looking around and I found a bunch more kits I am going to “need” to get in the near future too. I think this is going to end up being on of my very favorite shops in a very short time.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Clouds– (ft Stick to the Plans)





This week for my Recollections Planner I picked out this gorgeous kit from The Etsy shop
Stick to the Plans. I love the hot air balloon theme and the soft colors along with the watercolor look is fantastic. I can't wait to start using the spread.

One thing I love about this kit is how many stickers were packed onto the two pages. There were way more stickers than I have sometimes gotten in 3 page kits. So big points for no wasted space on the pages.

I only needed to add dinner stickers and my habit tracker. I know a lot of you could probably have gotten by with just what is on the kit. And since the kit includes a sheet of glitter headers in addition to the two pages and there are 2 weekend banners I am betting a white space planner could easily get two weeks out of this kit.

The stickers I added were from the following shops on Etsy.

Habit tracker from Ruby Red Iris Print Shop



Dinner stickers from Sweety Stickers

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –June Monthly– (ft Best Printables 4U)





For the monthly spread in my Recollections Planner I picked out a printable kit from Best Printables 4U on Etsy. It has a fun beach theme and it goes so nicely with the existing color on the pages.

I like to decorate the monthly pages but I don't tend to use them at all. They are really just there to look at. I am hoping to go back to the monthly pages at the end of the month (or maybe even during future months) and fill in things that did happen. I am not sure.

Anyway I do love how this kit looks on the page. The only thing that really bothers me (and it is minor) is the space where I had to use the small box over the strip over the last days of the month of May. The scene doesn’t like up as well as I would have liked. I wish there had been a strip to cover 4 days not just the one to cover 3 and a bit of another day. I don't remember how the photo on the shop showed this set up. I just assumed that I would be covering all the days outside of the month.

I do remember that in the photos it was shown as an almost no white space monthly layout. Some days just have a small bit of decor in them but every day has some kind of sticker in it.

The only stickers I added were the 2 little house stickers that I use to denote the weekends my son doesn't go to his dad's house. Those were from Pretty Stock on Etsy.

Plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner –Gift– (ft BEaYoutiful Planning)




This week for my mini happy planner I found this beautiful kit from BEaYoutiful Planning. I love almost all the kits that this designer does. This one is from her free site but I have purchased from her Etsy store also.

I love both floral and wood grain so this kit was perfect this week.

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





This week in my Happy Planner I settled on a free printable kit from Planner Problem 101. I did have to do a bit of scrolling to find this one. Mainly I was looking for a kit that contained a lot of blue. I was hoping for more of a peach color for the secondary color but this one was soo pretty I picked it. In my defense it did bit a bit more on the peach side on my computer monitor than it printed out.

I do love how it looks and I can't wait to see how it works out by the end of the week.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Blue and Pink Floral– (ft the Wanderlust Planner)




This week in my Recollections Planner I am using this really pretty Blue and Pink Floral kit from the Etsy shop The Wanderlust Planner. If you have ever watched my Plan with Me's you know how much I love a good floral kit. This one is just about perfect. And it was only $2.77!

I did have to add a couple of stickers. Since I like to have the 3 heart checklists in the top section I raided my stash for some from the Etsy shop Luna Paper Prints, unfortunately when I tried to get the link for you I found the shop is no longer on Etsy. I am sure you can similar checklists from several shops.

The other sticker I felt the need to add was one of my 4 Habit trackers from Ruby Red Iris Prints. I get so much use out of this sheet of stickers I am so glad I purchased it.


I can't say enough about the weekend banner in this kit! It is gorgeous. I am just glad I didn't want to add date covers since it is so big. It definitely makes a statement at the top of the page this week.
