How To Use Planner Pages on Scrapbook Layouts

     Hello friends! Today I'd like to share a 8.5x11 layout that I created. I don't do a ton of scrapbooking - mainly I just shove everything in photo sleeves once every 18 months or so, after a weekend long Shutterfly binge, uploading everything under the sun.  But every so often it's fun to create a layout to stick in between the photo sleeves. 

For today's layout, I thought it would be fun to use some of my unused planner pages from my 2016 planner. It's a great way to score some free lined paper for journaling, and it's got a bit of personality and detail on it that's fun to add on a layout. Before you ditch all your unused planner bits at the end of the year, dig through and see what's usable for another purpose!

On this project I used lots of NEW goodies from Fun Stampers Journey, out of the Trends Mini Catalog. (You can find the whole sweet catty here!) I used a bit of our new planner stamps and dies, plus some paper and accessories from the Magical Journey collection. (That's the one with the fun Disney-ish theme!) Really, the only Christmas things I used are the sentiment stamp,  one little strip of Christmas paper, and the holly die. 

I really love the new Tape It stamp set, that I used to create a lot of the washi tape on the page. The top right corner is all just stamped on cardstock. It was fun to mix sparkle tape, washi tape, plus stamped faux tapes all together on this page. 

Thanks so much for coming by and checking out my planner-to-layout page! Be sure to head over to the Fun Stampers Journey website to check out all the new planner goodies we have! Plus, if you don't have your 2017 planner yet - check out the Journey Days Buffet promotion. You can score a whole bundle of planner goodies for the new year for a low price! Did you know that our planners are cobranded with Webster's Pages? (They're kinda awesome, and they make GORGEOUS planners!) 

November planner plans

Helllllllllo friends! Happy ALMOST THANKSGIVING! 

I'm popping in this week to share a little planner love. I'll admit I am NOT one of those carry-a-planner-around kinda girls. I don't realllllly even keep a planner updated. But every once in a while I jump on the bandwagon and get crafty with my planner. 

This is the page I did for November. I wanted to keep it clean and simple and not too busy, because when it's crazy and filled to the brim...I can't think. (And that defeats the purpose of keeping a planner.) I kept a subtle color palette, which really makes me happy. (I know, that sounds weird coming from this COLOR-obsessed girl!) This November page will serve more as a memory-keeper for the main events of our month. A lot more happened than I have shown here, but these are the events I want to remember the most! To make it easy, I stamped some of the cute banners and shapes ahead of time, on cardstock, and then trimmed them and wrote the information on them as I went along. I used the Tape It stamp set to add some simple washi tape stripes throughout. 

Next up - I got my COLOR on. Phew! This is one of the week-at-a-glance pages, and I created it for the week of the Be Amazing Tour in Orlando last week. LOTS of color and stampy, stickery goodness on this page. The glittered Be Amazing stickers are so sparkly (without the mess) and I love them! (And don't get me started on our new gel pens.....oh my loveliness, they are AMAZING!) I stamped up a storm on this page, using the Journey Days planner stamps. So many fun tiny designs and shapes and words - OH MY!

Be SURE to check out the Journey Days Buffet promotion going on now at Fun Stampers Journey. You can score a pretty great bundle of planner goodies for 2017! You can choose the planner, the inserts, a stamp set, and accessories all for a great price! Woohoo! Let's go rock 2017! xoxo
