Documenting Daily Life in my Happy Planner~ January 2018

Hello! One of my goals for the New Year is to start blogging, I use to blog ALOT about 3-4 years ago and I really miss it. I loved posting craft projects, places I’ve visited and blogging is where I discovered my love for creating art canvases. Today I want to talk about how I plan to document / scrapbook the everyday using a large Happy Planner. I absolutely LOVE scrapbooking and document life using pictures, papers, paint and all the fun creative media. I have used the concept from Project Life to take a photo a day and sometimes it happens and sometimes not, but I’m thrilled to have January complete. Here are the layout pages:
January Introduction Page

What’s fun about the Happy Planner is it has a place for important dates, plans, and current events or what is currently happening at the beginning of each month.
Week One~ January 1-7

Surprisingly ,I didn’t take as many photos this week, I think is was due to the fact I started a new job which requires a hour commute to and from Austin and having symptoms from CEDAR fever! UGH!
Week Two~ January 8-14

We celebrated my daughter Brazos’ birthday this week and quite possibly we celebrated the entire week! This week was the start of Girl Scout Cookie Season and starting and finishing a Science Fair Project.
Week Three~ January 15-21

This was such a cold week, I used paper snowflakes punched out from a Daphne’s Diary Magazine and added twine with a sparkle snowflake to add a bit of dimension. Love that I took lots of photos this week!
Week Four~ January 22-28

This was the week I had the flu..wah! It was awful! However, my sister was looking through old photo slides for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and she sent me all these fun photos from when we were kids, so I added them into this weekly layout.
That’s a wrap for January. I hope to film a process video soon for documenting in my Happy Planner, so stay tuned!

Creative Business Planner Flip-Through

Hello! I’m so excited to show you my creative business planner set-up. This planner is filled with inspiration and eye candy for me to dream and plant ideas for my creative business. Unlike my everyday planner, I’m filling this one with lots of ephemera and pretty papers to inspire my creativity. In the video, I talk about goals and plans I want to work on to build a stronger business as a creative entrepreneur.

Valentine Snail Mail

Oh Wow! Valentines is two days away! Have you mailed your love letters to your friends, family and sweetheart? This year the planner group, ATX Planner Addicts, exchanged Valentine Happy Mail, so it was fun having someone to send some sweet sentiments to. I wanted to create something that would easily fit into an envelope and ship well. I actually got the idea from an Esty Shop called a Pocketful of Sparkle, making envelope paperclips! I used the mini envelopes that came in the February Planner/ Stationery Kit.

I filled each envelope with little bits and bobs of paper flowers, sequins and a teeny tiny
note.

 I attached the paperclip to the inside of a mini card I created using a Jar shaped punch. The jar I filled with flowers and tied a piece of baker’s twine for the top.

 Packed then up in pretty little envelopes and added a tag I found in the bins at  Target in the Dollar Spot area.

 These little letters were made with LOVE and I hope the recipients enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed making them!
Happy Valentines, Rebecca
