Hello, friends! 

Today I'm here to share my latest planner layout with you - featuring the wonderfully cheerful and adorable Juicy Frootz stickers from the July Brimbles Sticker Club. If you're not already subscribed, you should definitely check out Anna's sticker club by clicking this link.

I had a lot of fun putting this layout together - it's bright and colourful and everything I need in a planner layout to ensure I'm looking forward to the week ahead.

This month I've been challenging myself to create a layout from a very minimal beginning - my planner pages are simply pages I've printed out with space for 8 boxes (Mon-Sun plus a 'title' box that goes wherever I feel is suitable on any given layout). There's no printed days or dates and I'm loving just going with the flow with my layouts.

Because there are no days or dates I have to get creative with how I label each day. This week I simply took a Sharpie Fine pen in black and scrawled the day and date - nothing super fancy. No hand lettering. Just my regular every day writing!

I used the 'washi' sticker strips to divide up my boxes, and turned one into a page banner and added the beautiful fruit characters all over my page.

Don't be afraid to layer up your stickers - make them over lap! It adds character. Sticker them across the middle of your spreads and don't be afraid to cut them up, the overall look still turns out fantastic even if you do these things.

As always I've included a planner process video for you to see how this page went from nothing to the final layout. I'd love for you to check it out and leave your comments on it.

Also, as a bit of an extra added bonus I also created a very quick Happy Planner layout. I don't normally share my Happy Planner layouts because it's usually purely functional and I don't often use stickers in it, but I figured why not for a week? You'll have to watch the video to see how it turned out!

That's all from me today. If you're looking for more tips or tricks, be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel or Instagram account as that's where I post the majority of my crafty endeavours. 

I hope that wherever you are in the word that you're having a wonderful day and I will see you all with a blog post very soon!

Happy Planning!

I also really love the little motivational messages that Anna includes on her sticker sheets, because it's important to see those little messages daily. As much as I like to think that I'm pretty good at maintaining a peaceful existence amongst the crazy daily-jobs that need to be done, sometimes I just need to see it written down and allow myself a moment to re-center myself and keep on going.

The little ephemera packs that Anna includes are great for all sorts of things. I've used them for Project Life, cut them out and used them as ephemera, but this time I really wanted to use this little business-card sized piece as a title for my page. While my inserts have a section for notes, I rarely use it for that - I like to have a 'title' or central focus for my decorative layouts to help tie everything else together, and this card fit the bill this week.

I'm also a big fan of mixing and matching sticker sheets, so along with Anna's stickers, I also incorporated the stickers from Sea Salt and Paper throughout my spread. (They tie in beautifully with the washi tape down the centre of my inserts!)

I like to think that I have the same expression as the gorgeous little tea girl when I drink my tea!

And that is my finished layout. I will include my process video down below in case you would like to see how this layout came together and in which order things were laid down.

I hope that wherever you are in the world, you've having an amazing week - and remember to bee-lieve in yourself!

I'm so excited by this month's Brimbles Box! Have you seen the gorgeous colours?!

If you've followed my blog for any length of time, you know that I love pink things, and this box is full of pink and bright colours and even though it's a Summer-themed box (and I'm stuck at the start of Winter) I absolutely adore it! It just brightened my day when I received this last week!

This week I received two scrapbooking-themed orders in the mail and I thought I would share them with you guys. I've got an unboxing video that I'm going to embed below, and below that I'm going to share some links to all the products mentioned and some close up photos for the curious.

The two stores in questions are the Mrs Brimbles Online Store (based in the UK) and Scrap Boutique, which is an Australian online store.

Until next time, planner friends, have a fabulous week!

This week I tried out something a bit different with my planning. I used the gorgeous water-colour inserts by Abstract Inspiration, which were an included bonus in the March Brimbles kit. I also added a three-dimensional/floating element with the fringed banner, which I wasn't thrilled with how it turned out, but it's growing on me. (I like to think I can hide any little notes underneath the fringe if needed!)

Keep reading for links and this week's process video!

This month I received the stationery Brimbles Box for March. 

It has the most adorable Easter/bunny theme this month, lots of exclusive goodies and stunning stationery extras. Check out my video unboxing below, and close-up photos of the items, too!

I was super excited to be able to provide a set of downloadable journal cards this month, too, which are exclusive for subscribers!

This gorgeous Personal Planner Box turned up on Monday, but I had such a crazy week that I barely had time to even look at it, let alone play with it! I've filmed an unboxing for those of you who haven't already seen the fun unicorn-and-rainbow themed box for this month!

For those unfamiliar, the Brimbles Planner Box is one of four subscription boxes offered by Anna from Mrs Brimbles. There are two planner boxes (personal and A5), a stationary box and a happy mail box!

If you're after some of the items in this box, you can find the rainbow planner charm, pink flower top pen, Mrs Brimbles unicorn stickers, Mrs Brimbles unicorn sticky notes and Mrs Brimbles personal-size unicorn dashboard in her store.
