Do you have anything interesting planned? Did you get a new planner? Did you order new stickers or anything?
My one weakness is this one Etsy story above all else. She makes a not-so mystery kit and does a release the first Wednesday of the month. I have fun at her store every month. That's really all the planning supplies I buy. I haven't bought any stamps for a while. I haven't seen any new pens I have wanted or anything. All I have bought is the mystery kit on the weekend.
What's new with the planneristas in here? Did you do any fancy weekly spreads? Did you join a kit club? What are you liking? Are you going with big name scrapbooking manufacturers planners and accessories or are you making your own or buying homemade Etsy purchases? Tell us more about your planning habits and what you like to track.

What Etsy store do you buy the mystery kit from?
I use an EC vertical planner, and I either buy stickers from Etsy, or I'll buy clip art and make my own weekly kits with my Cameo. I look forward to decorating my planner every week; it's my little crafty escape nowadays, lol.

I started researching planners for next year. Last year I had an EC, this year it's a PP. For next year I want a horizontal planner and I don't think the PP layout will work for me. I may go with Inkwell Press. Anyone have any experience with that brand?

I would like to see the etsy store, too!!
I am going to try to print my own stickers as soon as I have time to calibrate my silhouette. I also got a huge stack of stickers from scraptastic. They give you thick paper to make a dashboard. Has anyone made their own? I'm not sure what it would be for... Purely decorative?
Also, with my project life and with planning, I've decided to stop using supplies I don't absolutely love (which basically means I'm only using blue, green, and black supplies now!!) but it takes a lot of fortitude to not use things you've paid for, so I'll keep working on that.
I'm also seeing I really like stuff done in Elise Blahas get to work book but I don't know if I want to drop the $$ on it for 2017. I can buy refills for my Websters a5 or find vertical oriented print at home pages.

This is where I get 90% of my stuff. I don't make any money off referring people or anything. I don't get free supplies. I just love her designs. She has a new release day on the first Wednesday of the month and then the mystery kit at the end of the month. Usually it's the last weekend of the month. I love her stuff and will keep buying it. Buying from the UK is expensive bot for me it is worth it. www.etsy.com/ca/shop/EllieBethDesignsUKWhat's new Wednesday should be next week I suspect. I am just <---> excited about it but I am like that every month. There's a beautiful new Filofax that is out for the summer. I really want it and a friend of mine got one. She loves it www.filofax.co.uk/the-original-organiser-patent-0224-a5-125pox.html#year=2017&color=Duck%2520EggAnd it costs well over $180 Canadian so I will NOT be getting it, but I love it! |

I watch EllieBethDesignsUK PWM videos, and she does have gorgeous kits. I haven't ordered from her since I'm in the US, but if I ever get some patience to wait for orders from overseas, I might give her a try.   |

That duck egg blue Filofax is very pretty. IRL, is it more blue or green? It looks different on every one of my devices. I have a navy personal size original that is my favorite planner. Save |

SaveI don't honestly know if it's more green or blue. My friend who ordered it just said it was beautiful and she loves it. She has probably sold it already, though, as she buys and sells a LOT of planners. She gets sick of them and then sells them. All*the*time. |

I'm using a Filofax A5 planner this year and have really enjoyed it. I'm currently using the 2016 Filofax daily inserts which I like as well. BUT...does anyone know if a manufacturer or even an Etsy shop that makes similar inserts that are:
1. Dates already printed on inserts for 2017
2. similar layout
3. Printed and holes punched
4. More attractive than Filofax inserts
I know I may have too many requests...haha!! But if anyone would know, I know it would be the Peas. Thanks!!

Have you thought about making your own? I couldn't find any I loved, so I've copied bits a pieces into the one I use now. I have made some I thought would be perfect to discover I didn't like them. At least I'm not out much $ since I made them. I just print them in black and white on 32 lb paper, punch the holes, and round the corners. I decorate with washi tape and / or stamps. |

i ordered the academic passion planner on june 8 and i still do not have it which makes me sad for a number of reasons but mostly because there is likely to be a canada post work stoppage beginning on saturday and though my planner is FINALLY in canada, i will not see it for a while yet! blah! anyway, just want to try a bound planner though i have pretty much been a filofax girl forever. that duck egg is a gorgeous colour! does filofaxusa have it? i haven't checked yet but that will be the first thing i do when i leave here  |

I got the June plan on it kit from Scraptastic and I liked it a lot when I first got it. I liked the colors and the sticker shapes are cute! There was this super cute pink, yellow and blue box sticker, which I decided to make my color scheme for the week. So I put it down and went to keep adding stickers but NOTHING ELSE IN THE KIT WAS THE SAME SHADE OF BLUE? What on earth...? I'm not a picky person when it comes to color matching but seeing as these stickers were all designed and printed by scraptastic, shouldn't that shade of blue be in coordinating stickers? /endrant

I'm becoming slightly obsessed with creating stickers with my Cricut Explore and all these digital files I have but never use. It's becoming a sickness.

I just got a new plum paper planner in today's mail. Trying to find a new method for making some stickers for it!

I think I found something close to what I want and the Etsy shop has gotten a ton of raves. It's Sew Much Crafting which is very popular shop in planning community. |

I am a subscriber to the CD Daisy Dori kit and add-on. A lot of the embellishments are the same for the Daisy Dori and A5 kits. These kits are my absolute favorites of all time! The quality is great and I feel I get a lot for the money.
They have posted a note for Canadian subscribers:
Due to the Canada Post strike, we are not able to accept orders to ship to Canada until the strike is over. If you have a US address please change it (temporarily) on the shipping address screen and you'll be allowed to check out. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Ok, within the last 24 hours I've done some serious damage...haha!! Well, for me, I spent a lot. I purchased a few more Kelly Purkey Planner stamp sets from SSS. I just love her stamps...clean, graphic, just what I like. I also added the Sticker Society & Box Sticker Society add-ons to my Planner Society monthly subscription. And the last thing I did this morning is purchase new inserts from Sew Much Crafting on Etsy and Planner Kate stickers on Etsy. I think I'm done for a while.
While I wait for all of my goodies to arrive, I'm going to organize all of my planner stuff and put in all in one location. Hopefully this will keep me motivated to use it and not just have it sitting around.

There is a $10 off sale for the large horizontal planner at Plum Paper until July 4th. I am planning (HA!) on getting one, and I am also ordering a student planner for my daughter who will be a college freshman this year.
Does anyone have a discount code for Plum Paper? (Is it okay for me to ask that here??) Thank you!!
One of my favorite things about Plum Paper are the checklist pages. I use them for a freezer inventory. For example, to keep track of the number of chicken breasts, I label the row "chicken breasts" and then put / / / / / in the boxes next to it if I have 5 (or however many I have) then I mark them with a \ \ to cross off the marks as I use them. It's been working wonderfully for me!

That turned out really cute, ellewood. I like the silverware stamp to indicate your menu for the week. |
