Hey, planner friends! Meka with you today to share my July Carpe Diem planner setup. I’m using the lovely revamped Robin’s Egg planner with matching insides and gold hardware, decorated with accessories from the absolutely beautiful new Posh Carpe Diem planner collection.  Posh has lots of totally new products, like fun Pocket Cards - they make decorating the front pockets super simple!

I’ve removed most of the months included in the Posh boxed set to make room for the coordinating A5 dividers. The Clear Stickers fit just right, and I added a few of my own (created with a label maker) to suit my needs.

Behind the “Inserts” divider, I’ve added a few sheets of each of the different Planner Essentials Basic Inserts available - grid and lined paper - as well as several different planning layout options.  The new Page Flags are just right as temporary tabs for the various inserts.

Pocket Inserts and the Pouch are great places to house stickers, Bits & Pieces, and mini dashboards.

The Sunday-start July monthly layout has been transformed to Monday-start by first covering the horizontal weekday bar with thin washi from the Totally Chic Posh washi set. Then I cut apart a days of the week sticker from the Weekly Stickers pack, and adhered the individual days on top. Stickers from the Planner Essentials Clear Numbers pack worked great for the dates.

For last week’s layout, I couldn’t wait to play with the new Vertical Weekly Inserts. I dove deep into Posh embellishments -- Bits & Pieces, stickers, and washi galore! Doodles and hand-lettering, gave the layout a personal touch. The new 140gsm weight of these inserts hold up well to marker and watercolor accents, with no bleeding through to the back. 

For this week’s layout, I chose the Weekly Horizontal Inserts (with the same 140gsm weight). After applying watercolor as a base layer, I added the details of my week with more Posh embellishments. Did you notice the redesigned horizontal format? These are undated like all Carpe Diem inserts, but the new circle space for the date matches up perfectly with the Clear Number Stickers.

My favorite part of this week was getting to use the new Planner Essentials roller stamp. July 4^th was a fabulous day, so I went to town stamping “best. day. ever.” all over it!

The last little nugget of goodness is the new set up for the back of the planner. There’s now a large pocket that’s great for housing extra sticker sheets, the new Carpe Diem Doc-It journal (not pictured), or loose papers. The smaller pocket accommodates the Posh bookmark tablet for quick notes and lists.

You gotta agree with me that Simple Stories knocked it out of the park with their latest launch!
