August Planner Decorating

Good Morning :)

I am back today to share my August Planner decorating.

I don't always get chance to decorate my weekly pages but I do like to spend some time decorating the monthly pages and the pockets.

This month I have used the C4E August kit to decorate my Carpe Diem work planner.

I didn't go too mad this month, I used some of the pretty floral paper, a few die cuts and a little washi tape.

I popped a few die cuts and journal cards in to the front pockets long with a couple of cute paper clips. I need to make some paper clips I really don't have enough! 

I love the little gnome peeking out of the bottom pocket.

I really liked the journal cards in this months kit so I made a cute dashboard using one.

So that's my work planner decorating this month, I will be back soon with a cute mini album using up some left overs from the August kit.

I'm off to lie in the grass and wish on dandelions!

Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend!

May Carpe Diem Planner Decorating

Good Morning :)

This month I have used some of the May Page kit to decorate my planner pages.

First up is some pocket love :) I filled the Carpe Diem pockets with various diecuts from Kaisercrafts Finders Keeps collection and one of the fringe hearts from the May kit. In the top pocket I added a calendar card and journal card from the subscriber gift pack. I had a cute pink and aqua owl clip which I added to hold one of the rubber banners from the kit.

For my month on two pages I have cut out some of the gorgeous clouds from the Simple Stories Fist Bump paper and stuck them to the bottom of the page. From the Simple stories Make it Happen paper I cut out a few of the dots to decorate the top of the page. 

I've filled some of the squares with pattern paper and added a few random number stickers (Carpe diem).

I've used the Gold Thickers from the May add on kit for the month title and a few of the text stickers from the Simple Stories sticker sheet (May add on) along with a little gold glitter washi tape.

My little banner stickers are white stickers coloured with Copics and Distress Markers and cut to size, a bit fiddly but it meant I had a better colour match.

The last insert is a general month overview with to do lists, goals and birthdays/events. 

For this insert I made a little cloud template and cut clouds from the Maggie Holmes Spring paper.

The title banners I created myself on my computer. 

So that's it for my Carpe Diem planner this month, I don't generally decorate my weekly pages in this planner I tend to decorate my personal planner more :)

Have you used this month's kit for your planner? Share a link in the comments I'd love to see what you have done :)

Have a brilliant day thanks for stopping by

April Carpe Diem Planner Pages

Good Morning :)

Today I have some April Planner pages to share.

I am fairly new to planner decorating although I have had a planner for years.

This month I have used some left over paper pieces from the April Page kit Just Because

along with the Kaisercraft Sea Breeze stamp set and Simple Stories Carpe Diem number stickers.

First up is my month on two pages in my Aqua Carpe Diem Planner.

I use this planner for Crafts 4 Eternity.

The inserts are a free download from PenGems blog

They are a Sunday start which confuse me lol! So I printed 2 sets and moved the Sunday column to the other side.

The original Sunday column is covered with some pretty pattern paper (Refresh). 

I used a few of the Kaisercraft collectables to decorate along with stickers from the Sea Breeze sticker sheet (April Add-on kit)

The large flower (bottom center) was cut from the Waterlily pattern paper.

New to me is the concept of decorating the pockets of your planner. This month I have added some of the Kaisercraft Sea Breeze Collectables along with my April calendar card (subscribers gift). The colours of the Sea Breeze collection match my Aqua planner well :)

When I got my Carpe Diem planner I took out all of the inserts it came with, they were just too pretty to use! I hope that they will bring out refills, I might use them then lol!

I will be back soon with a decorated week on two pages from my personal planner.

Are you a planner girl? Leave a link below and share your planner pics :)

Have a lovely day, thanks for stopping by
