My new planner …

My new planner is finally done!  I’ve just started filling it and so far it’s going alright.  I can see where improvements would be nice but that’s expected.  One can always improve.

Stash busting planner!

This project was seriously a stash-buster.  It had me digging through kits, paper holders, drawers, boxes.  I threw a bunch of random papers together for this one and I actually love how it turned out – not really anything like what I had in mind when I started.  I wanted to go in a completely different direction, color-wise, but I eventually stopped fighting it and just went with the flow.  I ended up with something darker in color and more linear.

Here’s a list of the patterned papers.  I saved as many of the item #’s or names as I could.

• Teresa Collins – He Said She Said, He Said: Quotes Paper – item# HSS101
• Fancy Pants – Memories Captured, Memories- item# 1954
• Crate Paper – Crate Avenue Collection, Trendy item # AV192
• Echo Park – All About A Boy, Games item# AAB44008
• Echo Park – All About A Boy, Rough & Tough item# AAB44004
• Scenic Route Paper Co. – Cape Town, Roeland item# SR274
• Scenic Route Paper Co. – Cape Town, Adderley Floral item# SR268
• Basic Grey – hipster, hip item # hip-4099
• Basic Grey – hipster, jive item# hip-4094
• Basic Grey – bow ties, freeze tag item# kne-4152

• American Crafts – Dear Lizzy, Lucky Charm, Falling Star item# 35976
