Hi, SS Fans...it's Candi here today to show you how I am getting a jump start on my July Planning and showing you how I "Get It Done" with the Basic Planner Inserts!!!

 

July 4th means.......Red Binder :) time to switch it out!  That is the best part about a ring bound planner...it just takes seconds to swap it out!!! 

 

 

 

The July Monthly Divider has some pretty colors, but I wanted to use the Stars & Stripes Simple Set...so it's time to change things up a bit :)  I picked out my favorite double-sided cardstock paper from the kit and trimmed it down to the same size as the divider, adhered it in place and then punched two holes using a single hole punch...now we have a 4th of July theme started!!!

 

 

Next, I took one of the double-sided cardstock elements sheet and trimmed out one of the 4x6 "cards" and adhered a longer strip of cardstock along the side so I could punch a few holes in that strip, instead of the 4x6 card.  I wanted to be able to read all the words and not have a few punched holes making it hard to read.

 

 

I have to say that I lovvvve decorating my month on two pages!!!  The Stars & Stripes Simple Set is all set with two 6x12 sticker sheets to make decorating easy and fun :)

 

 

 

 

As always, behind the monthly divider, there is a little monthly recap.  I added a few stickers from the kit...

 

 

It has been awhile since I have added an Insta-Pocket Pocket Page to my month, so I thought it was time to bring it back again!  I trimmed out a few cards from the double-sided cardstock elements sheet (4x4 size) and then trimmed those down to 2x2 squares to fit inside my pocket page.  Now I can add some favorite insta size photos from July :)

 

 

 

Between my Basic Dividers, I have some of the Basic Planner Inserts.  Lately I have been using the "Get It Done" inserts for my weekend tasks since Saturdays and Sundays are super busy for me!

 

 

Pictured here are my weekend tasks from a few weeks ago, but I think I might start using these sheets for a whole week (just weekdays).  For me, I don't have that many tasks to do for one weekday, but I bet I could fill that sheet up with my tasks from M-Fri!!!  Plus I can take this sheet out of my planner and take it with me and throw it in my purse!

 

 

I took my sticky notes and adhered them to the divider...easy to grab and always an easy reach!!!
 

 

Hope you look at your scrapbook paper and embellishments a different way now :) You can totally cut that paper up and use it in your planners to create so many things: dividers, pockets, page markers, etc...  I sure am having a blast using them inside my planner!  Makes planning fun...especially those not so fun to-do's...hahaha!
 

I hope you all have a great week!!!
 

Until next time...happy planning :)
