Planners | From Project Life Pockets to Planner Storage

Hello hello there! Today I am gonna share a simple post on how I use the pocket sleeves from Simple Stories in one of my A5 sized planner to store my Shop Evalicious goodies (like stickers, journaling cards and paper clips).



Sorry for the glare but this is the best photo i could get to show you a rough idea how the plastic sleeve (in 6x8 size) would look like in a Kikki K Large planner. In general, Kikki K large planner (which is equivalent to Filofax A5 size) is slightly wider, thus I did not trim down the sides of the sleeves as they just fit nicely.

And now, let's get started to turn this Project Life sleeves into planner pockets. All you need is a single hole punch and 6x8 plastic sleeve ( mine are from Simple Stories and i love love love their quality)

I just use one of the A5 size insert to determine where the holes should go. The original 2 holes on the sleeves actually match up with the 2nd and 5th holes of my 6-ring binder.

And here's how the sleeves look like in my A5 sized planner. Nothing is peeking out but when you close the binder, the sleeve might touch the elastic pen loop a little bit but it doesn't bother me at all as I don't really keep my pen there.

For this page, I actually fill up all the pockets with planner stickers. I actually use a paperclip from Shop Evalicious to hold the pocket to prevent the stickers from falling out of the pocket. I usually make my stickers in 3.75' x 5.75', so they are just perfect to be slotted into the 4x6 sized pocket.

p.s the hot air balloon and dew drop stickers can be found in my shop.

I added some journaling cards and Instax photo to the back of this pocket.

And for the sleeve, I actually store some washi tapes sampler and also paper clips. I just trim the 3x4 journalling card a little smaller than 3' and wrap washi tapes around. And for storing paper clips, I cut two slits with my trusty paper trimmer, and added the clips.

And more pics on how each sleeve looks like. This pockets are also perfect for storing memorabilia, receipts and name cards. I hope you have fun using some of your scrapbooking stash in your planners!

Have a great day ;)

Planners | Life's Sweet In My Daily Planner

Hi Dearie =) I hope you girls (and guys) have a great weekend over there! I had a rather relaxing (but tiring long weekend here) as we had public holidays on Friday and Monday as well. So having such a long weekend means I had not been working on my little online store or packing mails (since there is no mailman picking up the mail). I am feeling a tad tired as Baby #2 has been really active in my tummy and Ivan is staying home 24/7 with me due to school holiday.

When Ivan was sleep, I was craving for some sweet bubble tea. Unfortunately I gotta resist the temptation of fixing my sweet tooth as drinking anything cold would make me having terrible backache recently. My awesome gynae says I could basically have everything and anything I feel like but I found that drinking ice tea or eating ice cream cause my backache to be worsen.

So my solution for my sweet tooth is to make some sweet stuff for my daily planner. I have already made plenty of coffee & tea paper clips and book marks a while ago, so this time round I am making a dashboard and page marker to complete the whole theme.

 I use 2 pieces of journalling card (in 3x4) tape it down and sent it to my laminator, punch holes and they are just perfect size as page marker for my personal sized planner.

And here's my dashboard / dividers with a sweet coffee cup.  I am not a coffee person but my lactose intolerance has gone really worse since I gave birth to Ivan. So I am currently drinking a cup of coffee (with a tad of sugar, without creamer / milk) daily instead of my favourite hot cocoa.

I have also designed some to-do list and weekly inserts for my planners. I am thinking of putting them up in my (currently inactive) Etsy store soon. Do let me know if you are interested ;)

And here's the discount code for enjoy 15% off Shop Evalicious goodies: HAPPIESCRAPPIE15 and shop here =) *Happy Shopping! - it's time to grab some cute puffy stickers and typewriter stamps!)

Planners | How To Make Your Own Watercolor Planner Stickers & Free Printables

Hello everyone! This is Sam here today to share how I use Shop Evalicious Stamp sets in my planner. I have been guilty as charged as I haven't been scrapping or making Project Life pages at all these few months. I only scrap some random 12x12 pages for assignments once in a while. I still have a bunch of scrapbooking supplies so one of my goal this year is to put them to good use - on my planner pages.

So one of my favourite way to use my scrapbooking supplies - ink and stamps is to make my own stickers. All you need to do is to stamp on white sticker papers (preferably matte sticker sheets which you can get from Amazon). 

I stamped on the sticker sheet using Versacolor and Versafine in black. I am not a fussy stamper - as in it would not bother me if I didn't get a perfect stamped image. 

If you would like to add water-colour or copic markers to colour the image after stamping, remember to use Memento Black (for copic markers) and Versafine Black (for water colour).

I love fussy cutting all the stamp image and keep them for future use. Sometimes I keep them in a flower shaped paint dish and place it on my work desk to avoid 'out of sight, out of mind'.

I haven;'t been doing Project Life pages at all - but documenting my daily life in my creative planner is one of the way to keep me going, using my scrapbooking supplies in a fun way too!

I was inspired by these Target Dollar Spot notepads and stationeries and decided to make some printable for my planners. If you are interested in getting these printables for your planner, since these Target Dollar Spot goodies are only available in US.

All you need to do is to print them on A4 or Letter sized paper (do not fit to print, choose 100% scale)

• Notes & Ramblings (Personal Sized)
• Notes & Ramblings (A5 Sized)

Please take note that these printables are for personal use, do not share the actual file / downloadable link on your blog/ website. Instead, link this blog post up and send your lovely friends here. Your lovely comments and requests would keep me motivated in creating more and more printables in the future!

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you would start having fun with your stamps and planners!

Xoxo,
Sam

Layouts | I Love You A Bushel & A Peck

 Hello everyone! Today I am gonna share a layout that I scrap lift one of my older layouts that I did 2 years ago. Here's the blog post that I blog about the layout and its fun to see how my style progress over the years - it has definitely became more minimalist nowadays - maybe thats because I have more things going on in my life, and layouts and scrapbook pages are the places where I could keep it simple and minimalist.

I used the Hello 2014 large tags to mat the three pictures on the left. love that these tags are perfect for my square pictures of 2.5'x2.5'. I also used one full sheet of Snip Snip label to create the tags on the right and stitched them down with sewing machine.

I added some puffy stickers to create some interest around the pictures too.

I think this is my favourite layout that I have created recently. It's quick and simple, yet it looks kinda complicated ;) Thanks for dropping by and I  hope you are inspired to create a tag / label layout too!
