Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-June 2019

It's the first of the month and over at Paper Sweeties we're planning our lives!  I've got a busy crafty and vacation life this month.. yay!!  I used the Hello Spring, Pretty Posies, and Bee Happy sets to decorate my printable planner this month!

Along with some fun washi and pretty papers cut with the scallop border from the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts makes for a summery June planner.

I love the sweet insect critters in the Bee Happy set... so cute and quick to color up!  And of course you know those little sweet flowers from Hello Spring along with the Pretty Posies flowers are among my faves!

I've used quite a few of the planner sets from Paper Sweeties to fill my days!  One of my most used is Get Your Craft On.  I also love the Everyday Basics set to fill in my weekdays and Business Basics are great even when I'm not talking Business!  I also love to use the balloons from the Celebrate set to mark any kind of fun celebration!

So cute, aren't they?

I'm playing along over at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes this week!

Paper Sweeties May 2019 Plan Your Life Series!

Welcome to the May Plan Your Life Series over at Paper Sweeties!  This month is an exciting month!  Not only is tax season OVER!, but I've got a couple vacations planned AND in just two days (Friday, May 3rd) it's the start of the 2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!  I put my two favorite sets to use for these layouts... the Planner Series-Coffee and Planner Series-Get Your Craft On sets are the two most used in my planner arsenal!

I used quite a few other sets as well on my Printable Planner pages... along with some Doodlebug Washi, I used the scallop from the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts to decorate my edges.  I added Days to my calendar using the Planner Series-Everyday Basics set.

And along with the Coffee Planner set, to decorate I used those sweet flowers from Hello Spring, the pretty tag from Stitched Tags 1, and the cute little words from the Treat Box Sweet Cuts.

Sweet is right!!

And I can't forget the inspirational sentiments from the Kindness Matters stamp set and the heart die from the Planner Series All Occasions Sweet Cuts.

It's the 1st of the Month and over at Paper Sweeties we're planning our lives!  I've decorated my printable planner pages using the adorable Hippity Hoppity Easter Wishes Stamp and Sweet Cuts sets.  I love these sets because I can use the dies along with the stamps or the egg and flowers are great as stand alone dies too!

I have a pretty crafty April and the Get Your Craft On Planner Stamp Set is perfect for keeping track of my Blog Post due dates, crops, workshops and more!

The Everyday Basics is perfect to use along with this printable calendar because I can use it to add my days of the week.

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - March 2019

Welcome to the March 2019 Plan Your Life Series over at Paper Sweeties!  I've made a couple fun layouts in my planner for my very busy March!  I'm gonna need a lot of luck to get it all done...lol!  Plus it's tax season!!  So I've got quite a few four leaf clovers from last month's All Occasions stamp set!

I've used lots of green in this layout... the sweet flowers from the Hello Spring stamps and dies were perfect with the clovers and that rainbow from Somewhere Over The Rainbow... it's just pretty isn't it?  And I just happened to have that sun from Island Time laying on my table waiting to be used... it was just right!

My printable pages come without the weekday names printed on them.. love the Everyday Basics set ... I can add my weekdays when I want!

I had fun mixing and matching papers for this one... I wanted there to be a lot of green, but not just green and I love the way it turned out!

And notice the pretty scallops in plaid and stripes??  I'm playing along over at Mod Squad Challenges and this week the challenge is Stripes!  You should definitely check it out!

Before you do that though... hop on over to these places and see what all of the girls are up to:

Paper Sweeties February 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties February 2019 New Release and Happy Valentines Day!  Today we're sneaking some peeks and tomorrow the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp and Sweet Cuts sets will be available in the shop!  For this Valentines Day, I've used the heart in the Stamp set to create this background. 

 I started by stamping the heart from the All Occasions set and the arrow from the Checklist Planner set in Versamark diagonally across the paper and heat embossed with white powder.  Then I blended some Distress Inks over the images and wiped them lightly with a wet paper towel to remove the ink from the images.  I used some of the same Distress Ink to watercolor in a few of the hearts to make them darker.  And finally I splattered some metallic watercolor over the top..  

That sweet little girl is from the Checklist set too and her sign was perfect to stamp the XOX from the Get Your Craft on set.  I added the Circle Scallop frame because it was just sitting there waiting for me to use it and it was just right for this!  And I love those flowers from the Hello Spring set are among my favorite... they were perfect to have floating around.  I colored them with Copics and added a black Nuvo Drop center.

And I love all of the sentiments on the Love You To Pieces Sentiment set!  I embossed this one onto a tag cut with the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cut.  The pink I used on this wasn't a bright pinky pink and had a kind of orange tint to it.  So I used some ink and swiped it on the pink ribbon until it was the color I wanted and then tied it around the card front and through the tag.

One more flower and it was done!

I hope I made you look at your Planner Stamps in a different way!  Sometimes those smaller images are really sweet on cards.. for a background or an embellishment... or idk... you tell me!

I'm playing along with a couple challenges!  Over at Double Trouble it's all about Flowers!  And I've managed to meet the Twist Twisted Sister... Bow starts with B!  I'm also playing along at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday... the twist this time around is Flowers!  AND I'm playing along the sweet photo inspiration over at Cupcake Inspirations!

And did you know that Paper Sweeties has a challenge this month in the Paper Sweeties Facebook Group here?!  Just create something using Paper Sweeties products and share it in the Facebook Group!  You could win $25 of Paper Sweeties products!  Here's your inspiration:

We're planning our lives today over at Paper Sweeties!  And there are adorable new Stamp and Sweet Cuts sets!  The All Occasions stamps and dies are a perfect add to your collection!

I used the heart sweet cut and flower stamp and sweet cut from the new set on this planner layout along with a few others!  I love to use the scallop sweet cut from the Sweet Borders set to decorate my printable planner pages!
