Good morning friends! Brenda Smith here with you today to share a planner spread I made in my Ballerina Pink Carpe Diemusing the Posh collection. 

I really like to use the vertical inserts for my weekly planning pages because the layout just makes sense to me for this type of project. I started this vertical spread in the way I start most. First I cover the little grey header above the vertical boxes. For this spread, I used little strips from the Weekly Stickers and washi from the Modern Meadow set from the Reset Girl line. 

The next thing I do is grab the vertical box stickers from the Weekly Stickers package. I try to balance the weight of my spread by not having too many stickers or embellishments in any area without equal visual weight on the opposing side. I added the dates using the Number Stickers in navy. I like the whimsical look the oversized numbers give. 

After I’ve placed all my vertical stickers, I focus my attention on the bottom of the page. I usually like to do some extra decorating down there and take it as an opportunity to add some scrapbook paper and embellishments to my spread. I used my favorite paper from the Posh line, Love Life, and trimmed down to size.

Next, I took some hole reinforcement stickers from the Planner Basics stickers to add a little additional visual interest to an otherwise boring area of my spread. I tried several different color combinations of hole reinforcements for this spread but landed on aqua and teal. I added the October 2016 calendar sticker from the Mini Monthly Calendar Stickers to the top right and love being able to see the month at a glance without it detracting from the spread.

Then I get out my Bits and Pieces, Word Label Stickers, and Designer Stickers in addition to the Planner Basics and Weekly Stickers to finish off the embellishing of this spread.

Lastly, I used the sketch pen and my Silhouette Cameo to add the “pen” (words) to my page. I like the clean look it gives the page and it really doesn’t require that much effort.
