On of the goals for this year is I want to be able to show people how others in the creative world can use my monthly kits. On instagram I put out a post to apply, it was rather simple, just show your style. I was so excited and  humbled to see everyone’s interest. I selected three ladies to be part of the Kit Crew for the next three months, after that I will post again for more applicants. Introducing the first Kit Crew:

Tessa

Lucia

 Jill

 I will be reposting on instagram, facebook and here to show their creations!

This week’s planner set up is all about Blue and Yellow! Earlier in the week I created a video showing how to use old dress patterns to decorate the dashboard of this planner.

The blue planner is a Recollection planner from Michael’s Craft Store. I used Yellow and Blue Cardstock to create the coordinating dividers. The card stock was thick enough I did not  need to laminate them.

 I used Blue and Yellow Washi to decorate weekly spread along with a variety stickers.

 Thanks for Stopping by! Hope you are inspired! Rebecca

Hello! I created a quick video to show you how I create planner dashboards using Vintage Dress Patterns.  I love the art and designs that cover vintage dress patterns and use them quite a bit in all my paper crafting projects. The ladies always look so stylish! I look for these dress patterns at thrift stores, garage sales or antique malls and can usually find them for about a dollar a piece.  I make copies of the covers so I can have more than one use out of each of the patterns. In this video I show you how I make a dashboard using one of the prints. What I love about this style of papercrafting is the ideas or endless. You can use old book pages, photos, anything that you love the images. Hope you are inspired to create something today!

Thanks for watching, Rebecca

Hello! This week is all about green in my personal planner, even the planner itself thanks to the Michaels’ Recollection Planner.

I have to say this green is a favorite! This week I used a vintage girl fussy cut from a dress pattern for the dashboard and dividers using bits and pieces from this month’s Bloom Kit. Of course since Friday is St. Patrick’s Day the tassel need to have clovers!

 On the weekly spread, I used stickers from The Happy Planner Stickers books and vintage honey girl stickers from The Reset Girl collection.

 An assortment of charms and baubles adorn the closure to the planner closure

 Hope your having a great week. We had a time change of Springing forward and my sleep is way off! Can I go back to bed now?? Thanks for stopping by, Rebecca

Hello! Welcome to my blog!! I wanted to share a quick video of a flip through  of how I documented the months of January and February 2017 in my Happy Planner. I use pretty paper, washi, diecuts and ephemera to embellish the pages and tell my story! Thanks for watching !!

 I know it’s already past mid-week and I haven’t posted about my planner set-up this week. I been working on the March Stationery/ Planner Kit which went on sale yesterday! This kit it a beauty full of vibrant colors and blooms. I’ll be posting an unboxing video soon. Today I want to show you my planner set up for the week, it’s all about pink. I’m using the Webster Pages pink personal planner and added another pink and green accessories to fill the pockets with flashes of delight!

 The dashboard used is a mixed media tag I created a while back using papers, paint and ribbons. I simply just clipped this to the front divider. Look at that mischievous smile on the little girl. She simply was cut from a vintage dress pattern.

 On the weekly pages I used lots of floral washi including the red flower washi that is in the March Bloom Kit. I also used several of the stickers and diecuts from the kit.

Yay for organization! Hope your having a great week! Thanks for stopping in!

This has been the one of those weeks where the unexpected sickness hits your house and your the one who is sick. I started feeling bad Saturday night, but I figured after the AWESOME fun time I had at the ATX Planner Addicts Mini Retreat, it was to be expected. Then the sore throat came, followed by congestion and followed by the worst headache of all time. When sleeping sixteen hours in a day doesn’t help, it was time to go to the doctor. After having to wear a mask, while I wait to see the doctor, due to the fact the flu is going around I find out I have a Sinus Infection. There is hope and antibiotics and setting up my planner this week in blooms to make a girl feel much better!

Something about the upcoming month of March just makes me think of blooms and GREEN! I love this Recollection Planner from Michaels, the color is so FUN! I selected a handmade tag using mixed media techniques and a vintage girl I cut from an old dress pattern for the dashboard.

 I also added several clips I acquired from the SWAP at the retreat. This week, is full of stickers from Echo Park paper Company and Crafty Conny. I think it looks so happy!

Thanks for stopping in! Rebecca

Happy Valentine’s Day!! This week’s Planner Set-up is combing Valentines Day and the ATX Planner Addicts Rainbow Dreams Planner Retreat happening this Saturday, so hearts, rainbows and unicorns it is!

 I created this dashboard using a heart punch and embellishments from “Oh My Heart” by Pink Paislee. and cardstock used is by Dear Lizzy.

 Although I didn’t think I had anymore room for any other theme, I woke up to rain this morning, so my little Rainy Day Girl Die-Cut made her way into my planner spread.

 Staying with the theme, my weekly planner spread decorating is full of LOVE and RAINBOWS.

 Thanks for stopping in and I hope you are inspired to create something fabulous in your planner!

XOXO, Rebecca

I have been using my Happy Planner for Memory keeping since June of 2016, but last year I found that I’m struggling to keep up to date. So I am thrilled to say I’m caught up for the Month of January 2017. Memory Keeping, documenting our story with words and pictures is so important to me. This was one of my goals for 2017, change my thought process and make time for what is important, and THIS is important to me. So let me show you January! If you watched my previous video, you would have already seen the first week in January. We celebrated my daughter Brazos’ birthday.

I created a fold out, to capture her weekend spent with friends

The second week of January

 The third week of January

The fourth week of January

Here’s to a great start for the New Year!
