a little planning...

I thought I would stop in with another planner post.  I am still planning away and love love love my Erin Condren planner.  Like my cards, I definitely keep my planner clean and simple.  These new stamps from Waffleflower are SO fun and help out so much.  Here is a quick shot of this next week before I added in all my lists.



I use some very thin washi I found at Michael's to mask of the column headers.  Then I use the Wafflweflower set called Planner-Stay Focused for the AM and PM, and BLOG headers.  I also use the little check boxes because I LOVE to see things marked off my lists.  These stamps are so handy and keep everything neat.  I don't like my messy handwriting, so these definitely help me to feel like I have everything neat and tidy.  I start with my Monday DT tasks and then I cross of what I have finished and transfer the unfinished list to Tuesday.  

In the same set, there are some little calendar boxes, which I find super useful for reminders.  I have a whole stack stamped out and I can pull them out when something is due.  

Just another close up shot of the sticky note....

I use my Versafine Black Onyx ink and I keep a mini acrylic block in my planner bin, so I'm ready to stamp and plan the week!

I got a new cover too.  I think I am an addict.  But I have learned I am not alone.  So I am ok with it.  I love this new Turquoise and Platinum cover....

Here is a shot of my favorite pens. These Frixion Erasable Gel Pens are fabulous!  Like I said before, I am not a fan of my handwriting so a lot of erasing happens in this planner.  Click HERE to get a set for your own!  :)

Erin Condren Planner Video...

Hey there crafty friends!  I have a different kind of post today.  The kind where the crafty world and planner world collide.... :)

So, I am a planner nerd.  Have been all my life.  Actually, anything to do with office supplies makes me happy.  I remember, as a child, playing with yellow legal pads and manilla folders, like I really had something to organize. Ha!  Well, now I am all grown up (for the most part) and I still love to organize.  I have all kinds of stuff, including kids, to keep straight and planners are such a help throughout life.  

I found Erin Condren planners several years ago, but have been a tad to frugal to take the plunge, but this year I did it.  Yay!  I just got it in the mail and I thought I would share a quick video and some links....you know...to help you with your planner addiction as well!  :)

Also, I have a link right here...

I thought I would share a couple pictures,one of my planner and also, some planner goodies.  Most of the information about my Erin Condren planner is in the video below, but here are a few pictures.  Here is my new 2015 planner....



I am such a planner nerd and I love all the little goodies that go with it.  Since I am a stamper also, I have some fun stamps to share.  These below are from StudioL2E.  They go perfectly with the planner and make for some really fun decorating, details and lists.

This first set is called List It:



So cute!  I just love those bullet points and the font and all the fun little shapes.  This next set is called Plan It.  I adore the little hydrate stamp and the date stamp.  So adorable!



This last set is called Label It.  It is so cute and will make the most adorable little flags and banners.  I think it would be fun to stamp these directly on to post it notes so they stick to your planner.



So you've seen those rolls of tape in the pictures above.  Those are paper tape from Target.  These are are like little rolls of post it notes.  I love the colors!  They make a fun little flag note in your planner.



I watched a video over on Stephanie Klauk's blog and she showed how she used this adorable bag.  I was instantly in love with the bag. I headed straight to Target and picked it up!  Check out Stephanie's video by clicking here.  (She also shares a GENIUS way to add inserts to your EC planners using a Crop-o-dile.)



Here are a couple of shots with the bag all loaded up.



The zipper pouches on each side fit the planner perfectly.  I have an On-the-Go Notebook on is way to me and it will fit perfectly on the other side here.



Hereis a video showing all the detail of what came in the Erin Condren box. It was like Christmas opening it up!  :)  Click below to watch and see more of my planner tools.
