Joining the Planner Wagon!

Hi friends! I decided to hop on the planner wagon! Well truth be told, I've always used a planner but I have never decorated one or used cutesy clips.... my planners have always been straight forward and very plain! 

I ordered my planner from Amazon and after a little bit of research I decided on the Webster's Pages personal planner. It was really inexpensive and came with all the inserts. I actually ordered it as a Mother's Day present to myself but never got around to opening it up until a couple weeks ago. 

I started out using some stickers I've had forever... I have SO many stickers!! I stamped and doodled and messed around with what I might do... I decided to color code my writing by using colored pens. Purple for me, green for my son, pink for my daughter and blue for everyday.

Next I decided to print my own stickers.  I went on Design Space and printed some images from all those Imagine Cartridges that I have on there and also created my own. These images are from Lori's Garden. I liked this coordinated look better. The pages are not very thick and when you stamp with black ink it will show through on the other side. I will try lighter colored inks next time. 

Here are some of the clips I created. The Minions are from Okie Ladybugs blog. I've been following her blog for a long time and she created these adorable Minion SVGs. Her blog is terrific and I really enjoy her personality and crafting advice. I encourage you to go visit her blog. The Hipster Kitty stamp is from My Creative Time. The top bunny is from the Cricut Noah's ABC Animals and the other two bunnies are from the Pet Shop Cartridge. 

Thanks so much for hopping by!

Kitty In the Window

Hello friends!! Happy weekend! I am down to the crunch at work with only one more week of classes and shows and then I am off for the summer! Woo-hoo! I have so much crafty fun planned for myself I can hardly wait! Today I have a card I made for my Mother-in-law to share today.

I made this adorable window card. This sentiment from the Craftin Desert Diva's Just For Mom set is perfect. It can be used for any occasion you want to make a card for that special Mom!  My MIL loves cats and she used to have one that was white and fluffy like this. The cat is from the Cricut Pet Shop cartridge. I also used my Cricut Freshly Picked cartridge for the flowerpot and flowers.

I embossed the background using a Darice brick folder. I also water colored the background with Distress inks.  The window is a Spellbinders die. Of course I had to add my favorite butterfly sequins from the CDD shop.

Here are the CDD products I used:
