Regalos Navideños con el Kit de Happie Scrappie / Christmas Gifts with Happie Scrappie Planner Kit

Buenos días!!!  Aquí María de nuevo. Es increíble lo rápido que ha pasado este año, ya casi es Navidad! Así que Feliz Navidad a to@s!

Como ya es habitual en mí, el kit de Noviembre ha sido mi favorito, ya no puedo decir que es el mejor porque seguro que el mes que viene voy a estar diciendo lo mismo de nuevo…. ;)

Esta vez, se me ocurrió una idea diferente para enseñaros. Casi seguro que vais a hacer un montón de regalos estas fechas, verdad? Pues me dije, voy a compartir con mis seres queridos un poco de la belleza de los kits de Sam.

Good Morning!!! Here María again. It's amazing how fast this year has gone, it's almost Christmas! So Merry Christmas to all!

As usual for me, the November kit has been my favorite, I can not say that is the best one because for sure, the next month I'll be saying the same thing again .... ;)

This time, I decided to show you a different idea. Almost certainly you are going to do a lot of gifts these days, right? As I said, I will share with my loved ones a little beauties with Sam’s exclusive items.

Con la caja del kit y un dashboard he hecho unas etiquetas para adornar los regalos navideños.

I have prepared some tags to decorate the Christmas presents with the envelope box and the dashboard that came from the planner kit.

El dashboard ya viene separado en cuadrados, así que sólo tuve que cortarlos por separado. Los dibujos de la caja los recorté siguiendo la silueta he pegado un diseño de cada en una etiqueta. Sencillo, verdad?

The dashboard is already divided into few squarish boxes, so I just needed to cut them following the lines into individual square box and stick the cut-out images from the envelope to each of the tag. Simple, right?

A continuación, envolví los regalos y dejé una de las etiquetas colgando. Me encanta el resultado!

Then I wrapped the gifts, inserted each of the tag to the baker's twine and finally tie the presents. I absolutely love the result! 

Es un tutorial muy sencillo pero me parecía perfecto para mostraros las posibilidades de los kits.

Aquí os dejo algunas de las ideas que habéis dejado en el grupo de Facebook, algunas tengo que hacerlas yo también!

It is a very simple tutorial but there is endless possibilities with the kit. 

Here are some of the wonderful ideas that some of you have posted in the Facebook group, I will need to use (copy) your ideas, girls!

How I Use the Exclusive Happie Scrappie Inserts

Hello friends! Its Ruthie here sharing with you how I have used the exclusive goodies in the September Happie Scrappie planner kit.  First off, I used the box inserts as my main weekly inserts.  The number of boxes were perfect for the days of the week.  I used the Joyful Planning stamping set from Marryl Crafts to date them-the size of the stamps were also perfect for the size of the boxes.  The boxes are a good size for keeping track of important events during the week.  It serves as an overview of my week, since I mostly use daily inserts to keep track of day to day stuff. 

One of the perks of subscribing to the happiescrappie newsletter is she offers exclusive codes, sales and free printables!  This month she included a printable for an A5 and personal size planner.  I printed the personal size freebie, and I started using it as a daily to do list.  It can serve many purposes-a place to jot down just about anything! 

Also included in this kit was a super cute calendar notepad.  It seems perfect for tracking monthly goals such as no-spend months or exercise routines.  I considered using it as a countdown for Halloween as well!!  What I love is that it fits in my pocket and mini sized planners as well.  

Everything from the inserts to the stickers to the cute charm Sam created was so well coordinated.  I’ve always said that one of the things that I love about her monthly kits is that everything matches so well which makes for an easy planner set-up and decoration! 

Hope you have enjoyed this kit as much as I have.  As always, thanks for reading! Happie Planning!!

XOXOX,

Ruthie

Buenos días! Aquí María de nuevo ( https://instagram.com/mariacgbc/ )

Espero que todo el mundo haya recibido su Kit del mes, porque es maravilloso!

Hace unos días se me ocurrió qué podía hacer con uno de los dashboards del kit de agosto (tema maquillaje) porque los colores me encantan y quería tenerlo a la vista. 

I hope everyone has received their monthly kit, because it is wonderful!

A few days ago it occurred to me what I could do with one of the dashboards of August kit (makeup theme) because I love the colors and wanted to have it in sight.

Como la mayor parte del tiempo que paso en casa, lo hago frente al ordenador, me dije, ¡una alfombrilla para el ratón! Y nada más sencillo, con un trozo de corcho , cinta de doble cara, 10 minutos y el dashboard, ya estaba tenía listo. (Edito: Finalmente he tenido que hacerme otra alfombrilla con el sobre del kit de septiembre)

As most of the time I spend at home, I use the computer, I thought, a mouse pad! Nothing more simple, with a piece of cork, double sided tape, 10 minutes and the dashboard, and it was ready!. (Edit: Finally I had to make me another mouse pad with the September box)

Puse la cinta de doble cara en el dashboard, lo coloqué encima del corcho y con unas tijeras fui cortando el sobrante y ya estaba listo! Pensé en plastificarlo, pero me gusta más el brillo que tiene, así que decidí dejarlo así.

I put the double sided tape on the dashboard, placed it over the cork and I cut with scissors surplus and it was done! I thought of laminating, but I like the brightness on the dashboard, so I decided to leave it.

Este mes estoy muy muy ocupada, está siendo una pesadilla! He decidido pintar la casa y tengo todas mis cosas amontonadas por todas partes, literalmente, estoy deseando que acaben para poder volver a colocar todo en su sitio o me voy a volver loca. (Está bien, ya estoy un poco loca…)

Cuando recibí el Kit no me podía creer el buen estado en que venían todas las cosas, y la caja es amor, no es verdad?? Ya tengo muchos planes para ellas, pero son tan bonitas que quiero guardar cada kit en la suya, así que ya veremos!

This month I am very busy, it's been a nightmare! I decided to paint the house and I have all my stuff piled up everywhere, literally, I cannot wait to run out to replace everything or I'll go crazy. (Ok, I’m a Little crazy right now)

When I received the kit I could not believe how wonderful were all the goodies, and the box was lovely. Now I have many plans for them, but they are so beautiful that I want to save each kit in it, so we'll see!

El insert para fauxdori me ha encantado (qué cosa no? Por dios, es todo tan perfecto!) quería probar con rotuladores, acuarelas, lápices, etc… Así que entre pintura y pintura (en casa), me ha dado a mi por pintar también ;)

El papel lo aguanta todo, no se dobla, y por supuesto, no hace sombra por la otra cara, estoy más que encantada.

I am falling in love with the fauxdori insert (who does not? OMG, it's so perfect!) I wanted to try markers, watercolors, pencils, etc ... So between painting and painting (at home), it has given me the idea to paint on the fauxdori insert ;)

The paper is perfect, it does not crease, and of course, no shadow on the other side of the pages, I am more than “happie” with it.

Con los inserts, pegatinas, marca páginas, charm, he decorado mis agendas en el mismo estilo que suelo usar y que es el que más me gusta <3

With inserts, stickers, bookmarks, charm, I have decorated my planners in the same style that I use and that is the one I like more <3

Al calendario – taco de notas le estoy dando muchísimo uso! Para apuntar fechas y  para hacer la cuenta atrás de días que espero con muchas ganas.

The calendar-note pad is so adorable, you can use it for so many things! To use as a event reminder and as a countdown of the days that I am looking forward to...

Y tú, qué has creado con el kit de este mes? Nos encantaría que compartieses tus ideas en el grupo de Facebook  (Happie Scrappie)

Using the August Kit in my Agenda

Hello! It’s Ruthie (@threadofhearts) sharing with you how I’ve used the August Happie Planner Kit.  This month was a make-up theme which was super girly and cute!  The illustrations by Sarazorel (IG: @sarazorel) were beautiful and the journaling cards were some of my favorite to date (I probably say that every month)!  First off, the dashboard is gorgeous.  I love that the quote is the first thing I see as I open my agenda. 

The journaling cards are so beautiful that I’ve used them throughout my agenda simply as decoration.  I used a post it note with a side tab to avoid having to hole-punch the actual card.  It’s a trick I picked up somewhere in the planner world.  ;)

To get the most out of my inserts, I decided to cut some of them in half.  My to-do list is usually not too long, and by cutting them I can repurpose the bottom half.  I usually stamp on a header and use them randomly for groceries, errands, or goals.

One of my favorite things to make for planners are pockets.  You can never have too many of them!!  For this month, I used two of the punched inserts to create one.  I simply cut one of the inserts diagonally and attached it on top of another insert.  To attach them you can sew them or use glue/double sided tape.  Easy Peasy!!  Cute and functional!! 

For this kit, Sam also included a cute pack of sticky notes.  I simply laminated one and its now being used to hold some of my favorite washitape !  It can also be used as a small page marker in your planner or as a bookmark in your favorite book. 

I hope you have enjoyed this post!  I always have fun opening up the kit and trying to figure out ways of incorporating it into my planner.  I’m hoping next month I can set-up my Happiedori!!  As always, feel free to tag me in your Instagram photos to show me how you’ve used up your planner goodies.  “Happie” planning friends! 

XOXO

August Planning with Bel

Hello! I'm so excited to be sharing my August planner set up with you here on the HappieScrappie blog today.

Most of you may know me as Bel or @Thatsitreally over on Instagram or "Bella Baker" over on FaceBook; If not please do pop by to say hi!

I've been a big fan of the travelersnote book system since 2012, when I bought my first Midori, so I was thrilled when Sam said she would be introducing a Travels HappiePlanner kit! 

I recently purchased a beautiful leather dori from a wonderful lady called Cindy, whom I met through Sam. Cindy, the owner of Pelle_studio Etsy store helped my narrow down my choice to an "extra wide, regular, Seafoam, Pelledori with white stitching and I couldn't  be happier with it, it's absolutely gorgeous!

Not only is the shade on of my all time favourite colours, but the blue goes perfectly with all of the HappieScrappie TN kits to date!

August saw the end if the summer holidays here in Central Scotland and the beginning of a new school term.  So everything went from lazy to crazy pretty quickly!

I decided I was going to use my May kit, cloud and hot air balloon themed notebook. I love the versatility of a blank page and because I can't write straight to save my life I prefer grid to unlined  paper.

After an unfortunate event in town, where I dropped my TN and it wasn't shut properly, I tend not to over stuff my Pelledori.   I currently have 3 HappieScrappie Travels Notebooks from May, June and July HappieScrappie kits (although they can be purchased separately when the store reopens around mid-October) Then I have one Kraft pocket, where I store journal cards, sticker, washi samples and a few clips. Finally I have this awesome kraft pocket I also store a heap of sticker and other planner goodies in.

If I'm going out somewhere and I don't have room in my bag for my full Dori, I'll remove my notebook and the kraft pocket and leave the rest at home.   If I'm carrying drinks and snacks for the kids I'll pop it I'm this cute plastic pocket so it's not at risk of getting damaged.

 So let's get down to the nitty gritty shall we! Here's how I went about planning August 2015:

With four young ones to run around after pretty much 24/7, I've come to accept that if I don't write it down I'll probably forget it, so pretty random things can occasionally show up in my lists!

I've taken to use an adapted version of Ryder Carols "Bullet Journal" (bulletjournal.com) so I can identify what's what in the list, just by a quick glance at the icons.

The first page of my new notebook contains my index page for the first half of the book.  I then label the bottom right of every other page. I always manage to make a mistake but it's easily corrected with a sticker or two.

I used a Ice Cream theme card from the June kit to jot down a reference key and I used one of the cute critters from July kit to make into a pocket to store it in. @mariacgbc has a great tutorial for this, link here.

I always like to start each month with a "brain dump". To me a brain dump is to list everything I didn't get done last month and everything that needs doing this month.  Here I used some cute stickers as titles.

Next up I have my month to view, where I note important dates, events and appointments.  It's a quick overview only. I had fun trying out some new kit stickers here, which I never really did before I met Sam! Now I use stickers at any given opportunity.

As a family of 6, colour coding is really helpful and by some small miracle all of the stickers Sam has designed Have all six colours in!

At the beginning of each new week I try to meal plan. This layout contains 2 weeks menu because it was the last 2 weeks of the summer holidays and we had visitors as well as trips planned so it was easier to plan them both in advance.

Next up we have a list page! Now normally when I'm writing a list I don't combine a whole week, but it was feeling super lazy, as it was so lovely and warm, that I really only got the bare minimum done. Holidays aren't just for the kids, I needed to recharge before the beginning of term too. 

Normally I would list my priority tasks for the day at the top and then all other tasks underneath, in  a similar layout as you can see here.  

After this page it's pretty much anyone's guess what comes next. If I want to write a recipe or a list of books I want to read, then I'll just go ahead and add it in. 

This system really worked for me this month because of the structure of it or rather lack of structure; holidays and then adapting to new school time tables mad working out new routines for everyone. 

Next month, with after school activities, tea dates and clubs starting, I may need to move back to a more formal diary layout, but that's the beauty of a Traveler's Notebook. You can adapt the system as much as you like, it's as simple as popping in a new notebook!

Here are a few more photos of my August Planning. I hope you've enjoyed looking inside my world as much as I have sharing it with you.
