Planner Pages

I thought I would share my completed week in my planner :)
Because most of my markers bleed through my pages, so I like to use sticky notes to do my writing on.
I am going to have to check out those flair markers Becky
was telling me about :)

Today was a busy day.
Not only did I have to get ready to go out to the cottage, but we made a quick decision to go on a little road trip :)
Every year my daughters and my SIL/friend, Sharon and I go on a girls trip.
Every year it is to the same place….Minneapolis :)
So today I had to run and get medical insurance, American money, an oil change in my jeep, fuel up the jeep, and also get ready to head out to the cottage.
Wayne and I will come home early on Sunday, then I have to repack for our road trip and head on the road.
So excited.

Don't you just love spur of the moment trips :)

Hope you all had a Creative Day :)

Planner pages for July

I was going to share a layout on today's post…but after I did the video it had a green tinge to it, like the last few videos.
So I have to figure out if I need a new video camera or better lighting…even though I have been using the same lighting for the last few years.

So onto todays creative post.
I thought I would share my planner pages with you.
I am still decorating my pages, but I don't seem to use them like I did at the beginning of the year.
I am not sure if using a regular calendar (as I used to do) would work better for me….but I just enjoy decorating the pages so much ;)
Here is my month on two pages for July.
We have a few birthdays to celebrate this month ;)

And here is my week on 2 pages.
I went with the red and white colour theme in honour of Canada Day :)

See Canada Day!!!!!

Look at this pretty washi tape :)
Actually it is 2 different washi tapes. the pink scallop doilies and then the pretty birds..so so pretty.

I hope you all had a Creative Day :)

June's planner pages

I haven't shared my planner pages in so long, that I thought I would do that today.
Here is June, my month on 2 pages all decked out :)
I love this butterfly washi tape, it is so so pretty.
I did use dark blue washi behind it to pop out the colours and image.

I figured I needed some more birthday cupcake stickers, so worked on a few last night…now to just cut them all out ;)

It rained on and off most of the day.
We drove a fellow neighbour home from camp. He wanted to bring up his truck for the summer, so he hitched a ride with us.
I wasn't one for conversation today…odd as I am a real chatty person.
But I have been fighting this cold.
I am not one for taking medicine. If I take an aspirin, it seems to zonk me out.
But I couldn't breath, so I grabbed some Sinus pills from Wayne and we sat down to watch a movie.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep... for over an hour…I fell asleep sitting up, lol.
Wayne asked me which pills I took…turns out there were "night time" sinus pills.
No wonder I was out like a light, lol.

I hope you all had a very creative Sunday and a wonderful weekend :)

Weekly planner pages

Thought I would share my week on 2 pages from this past week.
Because of it being Valentines Day this week, I enjoyed adding lots of hearts with pinks and reds :)

Last year I used my planner as sort of a diary..but in short form.
But I seem to document mine and my families lives in many forms.
My blog, my planner, Project 365.
Do I really need to document it in 3+ places?
No, I don't think so.

So my planner will be used for my "ToDo's" and appointments.
Many of the days will be the same…but I noticed I seem to enjoy decorating it more than using it, lol.

I completed organizing one of my Ikea carts today.
I even took photos….but I forgot to upload them to my laptop and the Walking Dead starts soon, so we will have to wait for another day for that ;)

It was a bit nicer here today -12c.
Wayne thought it was nice enough to do some errands in his shorts and a t-shirt…crazy Canuck, lol.

To those of you that haven't commented on my giveaway, please go and check it out :)
**4 Years Blogaversary :) **

I hope you all had a creative Sunday :)

February's Monthly pages

I forgot to share my February monthly pages in my Planner.
I think February is one of my favourite months to decorate as I love hearts and the colours of pink and red are so pretty together :)

So lets take a closer look.

I had some fun with my washi tape ;)
The pink heart borders, the thin light pink strips and the "Love" are all washi tape.
If I was to ink directly on the pages with a stamp, the ink will probably bleed through to the other side.
I don't want that.
So what I do, is stamp the "cupcakes" on an Avery sticky label, colour it with my markers and then fussy cut it out and then adhere it my page :)

I also had fun with my label maker :)
I first coloured some paper with whichever colour I chose, and then punched out the shape with my heart shaped handheld punch.
I then used my label maker to add the text.
I really like using the label maker…who needs word stamps when you can type out any words or phrases to suit your needs.

It has taken me a bit to get used to these pages as they are different than the ones i had last year….but I think I am liking them :)

I hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)

Day #25 Pockets

Day #25 of the Planner Challenge.
"Pockets"
I keep my phone in the left side pocket of my planner. I am always misplacing my phone, as I don't use it that much. But by keeping it in my planner, I know where it is...if I put it back after I use it, lol.
In the business card pockets on the right, I put photos of my beautiful daughters :)


Onto My Day:
I had two of my friends drop by at different times today.
I would like to think that they came to visit me, but I think it may have been to see all my goodies I bought during my trip, lol.

I took both of my girls driving this morning and they are doing really good.
Heather, Kristy and I went to Ashley's for supper as Wayne is working late again.
We also went  to some home improvement stores. We are looking for a way to make Ashley a wall to wall bar, to hang up all of her clothes....we're still working on that though ;)

Hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)

Planner Pages and dinner at Ashley's

I made a couple of cards today, but I can't share them yet as tomorrow is my DT day.
So I thought I would share my planner pages with you.
This week I have used washi tape (are you even surprised, teehee)
I also used these epoxy stickers I bought at Michael's in the $1.50 bin.
I know they are going to be a pain to write on, being raised up from the paper, but this is the last week of August, Can You Believe That!!!!!
And being that it is the last month, I will have a monthly calender in between to next week. So we will see how much it hinders my writing.

Ashley invited her sisters over to her house to watch the new season of one of their shows.
She also invited them and me for dinner. As Wayne worked late tonight, I accepted the offer.
Heather, Kristy and I got to Ashley's house before Ashley got home from work. So I did a few more coats of paint on the trim, Kristy started cooking dinner and Heather hooked up Ashley's xbox.
Heather said that it felt like we needed to do something as every time we are at Ashley's house we are working, lol.
When Ashley came home she said how nice it was to come home from work and have us there to talk to. instead of a quiet house :)

Here is the dinner Kristy prepared for us.
Seasoned chicken with cooked fresh veggies. It was very good Kristy :)

After dinner, Ashley and I got to work putting her shelves back into her upstairs hall closet.

I have no idea how they fit in there before we painted them as I had to shave off the ends of the shelves to fit back into the closet. 

Good thing we left Wayne's hand planer there. Would have been nicer if it was electric ;)

It was so hot upstairs. Finally I realized it would be a lot cooler in the basement and brought my project down there....of course I was almost done, lol.

I left Heather and Kristy at Ashley's to enjoy their show and I went home to feed Wayne some supper. 

But I took a turn to Michaels before heading home and picked up a few goodies for myself ;)

I really like the green washi tape. Even though it is packaged up for Halloween, it is pretty enough to use for any time.

I hope you all enjoyed a creative Tuesday :)

August Planner pages

Here are my planner pages for the month of August.
I marked off the long weekend with a banner washi tape :)
The smiley face washi tape marks off my creative getaway with my girl friend Debbie.
Ohhh can't wait for that...not sure how I will be with our hike up the mountain this year? I should have started earlier with getting in better shape, lol.

Here is this week planner pages before adding any appointments or ToDo's.
I had fun playing with the owl washi and stickers :)

Onto My Day:
We came back from the cottage this afternoon.
I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with my family. It went by too fast, as always.
Even though I went up there on Thursday, it still didn't seem like a long weekend.
Short week at home, hoping to create a bit ;)

I hope you all had a creative Monday :)

My completed week in my day planner for week #24

I told you yesterday that I was going to share something creative with you today.
So I thought I would share with you my planner pages from last week.
Everyday I plan on doing something creative, and everyday either something happens, or I don't have the oomph to make it happen.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better creative day for me.

Not sure if you can see what that little blue tear drop sticky note says, but it says "My Week to Drive"
Actually that was my last week to drive, as Kristy's last day of school is this Thursday.
Then exams.

I hope you all  have a creative Tuesday :)

Decorated planner pages for week #24 and a Pure Innocence

I wanted to try some new colours (not my favourite) to decorate my pages for this week.
These pages look so plain until the end of the week :)

If you look closely, you can see my writing from the previous week has bled through a bit. I used my Stampin' Up markers last week as I really like the reds of those markers and the fine tip. But don't like that they bled through.
Even though these are not my favourite colours, I still like how they turned out.
But just to make them even cuter, I adhered a Pure Innocence image that I coloured to match the colours I used on the page.

Of course I coloured the image in withe my Copic markers.
Look I remembered to put aside the markers I used, so I could share them with you :)

Onto My Day:
I had so many plans today, mostly consisting of cleaning and organizing.
But guess what I did, nothing.
Well thats not totally true. I chatted on the phone with a friend for an hour or so
I did get in a nap as well ;)

Hope you all have a creative Tuesday :)
