Lawn Fawn Plan On It Stamps and my Planners!

I am enjoying using my planner to keep all my work and personal tasks on track. I usually just jot everything down with different colors of ink but I am learning to embrace the decorated page!

Lawn Fawn has a new planner set called, Plan On It, and it's got lots of great little icons and images to create lists. I love color so I use all the fun Lawn Fawn inks and the pretty patterned papers from Perfectly Plaid and Let's Polka in the Meadow to pretty up my planner pages. Not too much, though, I still need my planner to be functional and uncluttered. It's a tool after all, and as I'm not as young as I used to be I need all the help I can get to remember what I need to do!

I use Pilot Frixion Highlighters and Ball Point Pens in my planner because they are so colorful and they can be erased. I use one Plum Paper Planner for work and personal use. I also use a notebook style planner as a prayer journal and a small Webster's Pages Color Crush planner with monthly pages (which I designed for myself) to carry with me to jot appointments and to keep notes and ideas.

Plum Paper Planner and WP Color Crush teal striped personal planner.

I'm not sure how consistent I will be with all the extra stamped images like Donut Worry and Quinn's ABCs, but I will definitely use all the Plan On It stamps to customize my daily columns.

Here's a little peek at each of my other planners, journals and notebooks:

 I find pretty spiral notebooks on Amazon to use for keeping notes of my daily Bible reading. I try to be a little creative when writing the days of the week!

 I use a 3-ring 9 x 7 binder (I found this one at Target) as my Prayer Notebook. I created a pocket in the front to keep notes and prayer requests. The dividers are for Everyday Prayers like Praise and Thanksgiving, Prayer Requests, my family - anything I pray about on a daily basis. Then I have the Weekly Focus sections that include tabs for Missions and Missionaries, Social Issues, Government, Co-workers-Neighbors-Acquaintances, Ministries at my church which include prayer for the pastor and all the workers.

This is my Webster's Pages personal planner that I carry in my purse to jot down appointments, notes, ideas and to do lists. I also have a section for contacts (an old fashioned address book). I created the monthly pages in Excel along with the custom striped note pages. I used my "nancy" Perfectly Plaid paper to create extra dividers. The custom pages are die cut using a Hero Arts Planner Page Die Cut

So I guess it's never too late to get organized!

Thanks so much for visiting!

I've Embraced the Planner Craze!

I'm living proof that you really can teach an old dog new tricks! I've resisted using a planner for the whole of my adult life, preferring to fly by the seat of my pants. That was easy when the brain was young and had lots of room to remember important stuff.  Now I'm using up way too much real estate for unnecessary information that's only useful for playing Trivial Pursuit. A planner is the perfect solution.

Lately I've taken on some additional duties for the kind folks at Lawn Fawn and I found it imperative to be very organized. I started by ordering the new planner from PTI. There were a lot of things I loved about this planner but in the end I just didn't need all the daily pages and I didn't love the large binder coil so I gifted it to my daughter-in-love. It was then I found the Daily Planner from Plum Paper. I love this planner! It has everything I need and nothing I don't! Yay!

This planner is so pretty; it really makes me happy! And it keeps me on track!


I love that there is plenty of room for writing all the information I need in the weekly sections.


I keep pretty Webster's Pages stickers in the back pocket along with pretty paper clips.


I wanted something smaller that I could take with me to use for journaling, Bible Study notes, prayer requests, ideas, scheduling appointments etc. This little beauty is the perfect answer! It's the Webster's Pages Color Crush binder.


I created my own calendar pages when I was frustrated that I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I created a template in Excel and sized it to fit my binder. The pages are blank so I can stamp the month and year (with Lawn Fawn's Clark's ABCs) and fill in the dates by hand.


I used a PTI die to create the monthly calendar tabs. The months are stamped with Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese, Too stamp set. (Unfortunately this set is no longer available)


I just ordered the binder and Count Your Blessings Divider Kit Set and I filled each section with lined paper for jotting notes, ideas, prayers, lists...whatever is in my head that I don't want to forget.

I love how well my planner and binder coordinate; they look really pretty sitting on my desk!

I haven't totally embraced all the embellishing of everything but you never know, I didn't think I'd ever become a planner nerd!

I will start sharing some of the cards I've been making with the new Lawn Fawn release tomorrow!

Thanks for visiting!

blessings,
