Using Happie Scrappie Inserts for Project Planning

Hi everyone, its Lucy again on the blog today. I hope everyone has had a great week so far!

Today I want to show you how to use the Happie Scrappie Inserts for Project Planning. I am sure all of us are surrounded by projects in our daily life whether it is at work or at home. I made it a goal in 2015 to be organised. However it is really challenging for me to keep things organised especially my work desk at home. Sounds horrible right?!

So, when I received the September Happie Scrappie planner kit, my gut feeling told me that the inserts are perfect for this project. This time, I requested un-punched inserts so that I could easily slot in all the inserts into The Happy Planner, as I frequently carry The Happy Planner everywhere I go.

My all-time weakness for organisation is the tendency to procrastinate when it comes to cleaning and tidying up all the stuffs. I seriously hope I am not the only one here. However, this time I am really determined to be organised no matter what. I have multiple reasons to do that. One of them is whenever i have a messy desk situation, I have this overwhelmed feeling which in turn resulted in lack of focus and distraction. I also read before that when you have a clean and tidy work space, it sorts of enhance the creativity of the brain. Well, more reasons to have an organised and pretty looking work desk, so that whenever I sit down and look at the pretty things around me, I will feel inspired and so motivated to start something great. 

Without further ado, let’s have a look at the inserts that we got from Monster theme planner kit. Soooo exciting!! 

I decided to use the insert with eight boxes in a sheet. This insert is perfect to cater for different information that you need to start on the project. I started by labelling each box with the header stickers to mark “PROJECT INFORMATION”, “PROJECT GOALS”, “THINGS TO SORT” and “MOTIVATION”.

I used the small dots stickers that I have left over from previous kit to list the project goals. In addition, I used the heart checklist banner to list the things that I need to sort. The stamping images on the motivation box served as an encouragement for me to kick start the project. I always believe the more colorful my insert is - the more motivated I will be to start and finish this project. :)

For the shopping list, I used the list insert to list down things that I need to purchase for this project. Again, I pasted the header sticker on top right hand corner of the insert to mark “SHOPPING LIST” and stamped the shopping cart image from Mommy Lhey Designs.

Do you know that Sam had sent out a newsletter with a link to download free printables for A5 and Personal Size to subscribers? Woohoo!! I definitely took advantage of the cute A5 free printable. This one is called the Brain Dump Insert. I used the brain dump insert to record my favorite websites or blogs to go for inspiration. 

Last but not least, I used the calendar notepad to track the progress of the project as it is really important to stay on the schedule. The reason I spread out this simple project throughout the month of November is because I am working in the day and normally I only have time during the weekend, so I won't have need to rush the project. Then, I clipped the piece of notepad to the planner using the magnetic bookmark that came inside the planner kit. 

For the finishing touch, all I needed to do was to punch the inserts and slot them into The Happy Planner. The main reason of incorporating these inserts into the happy planner is to ensure I will be able to record or to brain dump any information that I want to add wherever I go.

Okay that's about all.. Wish me luck for my desk decoration project. I am really excited to start on it. I am definitely going to make it happen this time. I will share photos with you guys once it's done!

I hope you have been inspired by this post on how to use your Happie Scrappie Inserts.

Till the next time. 

XOXO

Lucy

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)

Traveler's Notebook Weekly Setup using Happie Scrappie Planner Kit

Happy October Friends! It’s Mits and I’m here to share with you my monthly and weekly setup in my Traveler’s Notebook.   As I have been neglecting my missmicchan YouTube channel, I decided to film a video of an unboxing and me setting up my week on 2 page spread in my Filofax. You can check out the video here:  

As for my Traveler’s Notebook , I continue to use the week on 1 page insert from Happie Scrappie because I love it so much! http://happiescrappie.bigcartel.com/product/inserts-ice-cream-popsicle-themed-grid-inserts-a5-travel-notebook-personal-sized  

When I saw that the kit had an insert included, I was torn because I wanted to use both inserts. I’m not one to stuff my Traveler’s Notebook, so I did what some people might not like, I took apart the notebook *gasp*

I took out the page that I wanted to use and just glued it on top.  Now I can have the best of both notebooks for this week J

One thing I loved about this planner kit was the amount of stickers it had. I used the heading stickers in both my monthly and weekly spreads. I also like that there is a blank one so that you can customize it for your needs.

Here’s a snapshot of my weekly spread, so cute and colourful, yet so functional at the same time J  I used the dots and banner stickers as indicators and to decorate my weekly spread as well.  By the way, you can still purchase these from Happie Scrappie: http://happiescrappie.bigcartel.com/product/planner-stickers-doodled-hearts-round-dots-banner

 …and because the holiday is soon approaching, I decided to participate in a no spend October.  This notepad is PERFECT for this! You can also track things that you need to do on a daily basis such as: IG challenges, inktober, hydration, exercise etc.

You can check out the video here:

I hope you’re all having an enjoyable October ! 

Much love, mits

Project Management ‘Monster Style’

Hi, it is Wan on the blog today, and I will be showing you how I used my fauxdori insert from the October Happiescrappie kit to help me manage my design/creative team projects.

I am not the most organised person in the world, so I find myself scrambling to meet deadlines simply because there are times when I would mix up the dates, etc. I know things have to change and I was trying to work out how I could design a layout to coordinate everything when my Happiescrappie fauxdori planner kit arrived. The moment I laid eyes on the pages of the fauxdori insert, I KNEW that it would be just perfect for my project management in terms of the work I do for the creative/design teams.

This fauxdori insert is slightly different from the other ones I have received so far in that the pages are not all the same, which makes it easy to keep things interesting. It also gives you an opportunity to get super creative with layouts - win-win! After looking through the different pages, I thought the pages would work well in groups of 2 and 3 for my purpose, so that was how I planned my layouts. 

First up in the insert is the set of 2 pages that I have allocated to the month of October. As I needed three sections, I used washi tape to tape a journaling card from a previous month’s kit to one of the pages. I then stamped a heading using a picture icon and the word ‘ideas’ so that I have a place to use as a brain dump for the ideas I have for the month.

I then moved to the opposite page and labelled the little sweet post-it illustrations with stamps for the smaller projects I undertake as part of my creative/designer team work. As these are usually photos, I used a cute Instagram logo followed by a number because I usually have a target number I would like to hit (other than that required), and labelling them that way will keep me straight on where I am up to in that month.

Now that all the stamping for this set of pages had been done, I moved back to the page that I have attached the journaling card to and used stickers to demarcate the three bigger projects I usually have for the two teams before filling in the necessary information. With the due dates as well as the steps required to complete the tasks all written down, it would be so much easier for me to keep on top of things.

With that done, the layout for these 2 pages is complete and I can now easily track where I am in terms of all my creative/designer team projects for the month of October.

Next up is the layout I designed for the set of 3 pages for the month of November. As one of the pages has a blank space perfect for the brain dump, I did not use a journaling card as for the first set of pages, but just used the same stamps I used for the heading of the journaling card to label the space.

I then used stickers on the opposite page to mark out the three projects just like what I did for the first set of pages.

As for the third page, it has little squares that gives the page a similar feel to the page with the post-it illustrations, so I just went with the flow and used the page in exactly the same way as I have used the post-it illustrations. As you can see from the attached picture, I labelled the squares with the same stamps that I used for the post-it illustrations.

After stamping in the headings for the squares, this set of pages is now all ready to be used for my projects in November. As a side note, although I am currently using this insert for project management in terms of my creative/design team work, I think this kind of layout would work too, with some adaptation (like different headings), for any kind of project management (project life, gardening, paper crafting, etc).

And this is it from me for today. I hope that this post has given you some ideas on how you can use your fauxdori planner kit. Have fun and Happie planning!
