Hello Planner Girls,

I decided to show you a more simple/ functional planner I use. I use the Beautiful 16 Month Weekly Spiral Planner as my work planner and it works perfect for to do lists and making major events.

I love having a month overview for work and making many list on my weekly, the horizontal line style makes it so nice to work with when making to do list.

You can have a cute functional planner using just a little bit of embellishment. For these layouts all I use are stickers and a pen. The sticker tablet is perfect for any planning because the versatility of stickers in these packs are amazing. The pads have so many functional and decorative stickers making it perfect for any style of planning.

I also hole punched and made little slits in the A5 sticky notes because at work I always need sticky notes so this makes it easy to carry around in my planner.  

Hope this inspires you to stay organized everywhere and maybe start a job planner in case you didn’t have one yet.

Hello Friends! It's Kristine Davidson here today and I'm sharing a layout I created using the latest Romance Collection. 

I must admit that I do love white backgrounds but on occasion a little blank with a punch of color just makes me happy! 

This is a layout called Our Love Story and it is of my cousin who recently got married last July. 

I love adding little bits of details to a page and the mini hearts from the 4x6 sticker pack has tons of little extras to add to a layout. 

Adding a few Bits & Pieces is always something I enjoy and lots of dimension to a layout with some pop dots is a must. 

I didn't add a prominent title to my page, instead I used one of the stickers and used that as my title. I find the butterflies and the 'love' chipboard add so many great details to this page. I had to add a little bow with black twine to make it complete!

Thanks for visiting us at Simple Stories today, if you enjoyed my layouts please come find me on instagram @KristineDavidson

Have a great day!

Hello everyone !! I am here with you all on the blog today with some pocket pages using the new collection called Sub Zero. This collection was perfect for some sledding photos I had from a few years ago. We were visiting my parents at the time and the kids had fun sledding in the yard and then at the park. Here is a look at the first spread. 

This next set of pages I added a few chipboard pieces to help tell my story in a fun way. The kids thought it would be fun to sled down the sidewalk. Grandpa offered his car as a gondola for the kids and their sleds. The kids went all the way down the hill and then packed up in the car and drove back to the top. I used the gondola chipboard and also the car as symbols to help tell my story. Even though I used a 4x4 and a 2x8 card you can most certainly do this with a 4x6 and a 3x4 card as well.  

I have one last set of pages to share. More sledding pictures from when we went to a local park and found a real sledding hill. I really love this collection. It is perfect for all your winter, skiing, and sledding adventures. 

Thanks for coming and checking out the blog today. I had lots of fun working with this collection. Make sure you pick it up for all of your winter memories.

Happy weekend!  Layle back with you again today for the 6th day of our Winter Reveal week!  If you missed us yesterday, you can catch the reveal of our Bliss collection here.    Be sure to check back with us again tomorrow for the final day of our reveal week with all new Carpe Diem goodies.
