Pocket Pages with Planner Supplies

Pocket Pages with Planner Supplies

Good morning friends! If you haven't yet seen the planner collaboration happening between The Reset Girl and Simple Stories, you're going to want to check this out.  Go ahead. I'll wait. Now, isn't all that stuff GORGEOUS and so different from everything you're seeing on the market today? But you might be saying, "I'm not a planner. I don't need that stuff." Not so fast! You might change your tune when you see how versatile these supplies really are! 

I created a pocket page using only The Reset Girl supplies that will be shipping with the planner release at the end of July, early August. The base of my page is made using a set of 12 pocket cards  intended for the 3x4 window pockets of the TRG Carpe Diem planners. 

Combined with the 6x6 Sn@p Basics Pad, I transformed the cards to fit my needs. I trimmed down some graph paper to 2"x3" from the pad to serve as journaling spots on patterned cards. I used some die cuts from the Bits and Pieces pack to cover up some parts that were too planner-specific for my everyday pocket page. 

The card with the ladies on it actually says "Planner Girl" but I covered it up with the graph paper and word art. The pennant and "happy happy happy" card are covering up another planner-specific phrase. 

I knew I wanted to keep this pages simple and fairly straight-forward since I didn't have many dimensional embellishments to work with so I added visual interest and texture with some machine stitching in pink thread. I find that I can take a "meh" page and transform it into something I really like just by adding stitching. 

The Planner Basics StickersIcon Stickers, and Word Label Stickers are the perfect embellishments for photos and cards. I found that there were plenty of phrases and icons applicable to everyday life, including the "finding my happy" sticker on the 4x6 photo. 

The rolls of washi tape that coordinate with this line are perhaps one of my favorite things from this release. You can never have too much washi tape! I just tear off small pieces and use as part of my layering embellishments. I commandeered some tags from the Bits and Pieces pack to use under my photos for journaling. When I ran out of those, I cut more small bits from the 6x6 Basics pad. The Clear Stickers make great faux stamps for your photos (the "SMILE" camera sticker seen here). 

 
Don't be afraid to think outside of the box with your supplies and repurpose them to make them work for you!
