Hi there Simple fans! Today I'm using the new We Are…Family collection and a beautiful cut file from The Cut Shoppe to highlight two vacation snapshots.
I used the pie heart cut to create a border of colorful hearts across the page. I love the intricate design of the hearts. I layered them on some of the more neutral patterns from the We Are…Family collection so that the cut would really stand out. Some fun chipboard words and a cluster of enamel dots add dimension and interest to the border of hearts.
I used a chipboard arrow, journaling and large date created with Photoshop to divide the design of the layout. I think it’s a fun, colorful way to break up the photo section from the embellishment section.
Now on to my Life Documented Planner! I usually like to photograph the clean, freshly decorated planner pages without all of the writing for my planner posts. This time though, I’ll give you a real-life peek at what it looks like once I get my life in it!
And the back to school rush in the Northeast begins! I like the weekly overview to keep me organized with a snapshot of what's going on in any given week. I use the calendar icons and little bit of washi tape to add some color.
This week started with a shopping list headed with alpha stickers in two sizes, colorful washi and sticky notes. I like that I can easily move around the stick notes to other days if I don't accomplish them.
I kept a yellow, aqua, gray color scheme for the week to keep the design streamlined. A little pop of pink typewriter is a fun touch for a day spent meeting creative deadlines.
I add removable sticky notes for grocery store lists. This makes it easy to remove and stick to the back of my cell phone - the one thing I won't forget to look at! And that's a peek of my life, lists and plans for this week. Nine months and counting in my Simple Stories Life Documented planner and still going strong!
Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out the Cut Shoppe!
