Hello, Today I am sharing with you Week 48. I used the A5 Heart of Gold Note Paper inserts. I attempted to decorate the week with "fallish" colors. 

Here is a close up of the left side of the spread. I used stickers and Marion Smith Planner Stamps.

Here is a closeup on the right side of the spread. I also used the Marion Smith Planner Stamps. I broke the spread into another section on this side so that I can add any last minute things I need to either pick up or do before Thanksgiving.

That is all I have for you today and for those that celebrate Thanksgiving. Happy Thankgiving. =)
until next time

Hi! Today I am sharing my weekly layout using Heart of Gold Note Page inserts. This week I decided I wouldn't restrict myself to a Monday-Friday Schedule, giving me the freedom to complete the tasks whenever I feel like it, lol.

I decorated the page using stickers, stencils, labels, washi tape. I then used the marion smith Planner Stamps & the Date Seals.

On the right side of my weekly layout, I left a section blank for anything that may pop up during the week. I can easily jot the info down. 

I like to use the notepads in my planner. I hole punch them and insert them into my week. 

I used the Purple heart checklist note pad & a Journaling card that came in theScrap Pack. . I use one for errands/places to go and the other for items I need to buy.

Well that is all I have for you today. If you would like to see more inpiration layouts/etc. You can find me on INSTAGRAM. Until next time, bye bye

Hello,  Today I wanted to show you how I used the Heart of Gold Note Paper. I used it as a weekly spread. I pulled out some stickers, stencils, washi tape to decorate the page. It turned out purrrty! 

As you can see I used the planner stamps & the date seals on my layout. I really liked how this spread turned out.

I use the Sweet Life Macaron stack note pad for my list. I decorated the sheet with washi, stickers and stencils.  I like to keep a little list attached to my weekly spreads to jot down things that I need to buy.  Well that is all for this week, until next time. -Ara

Hello Ara here today to share with you my layouts for this week. This week I am using the sweet life weekly planner inserts. I am sure I mentioned that I am totally digging these inserts. Look at all that space!!

  Here is a better look of the left side of the spread. At the bottom of each day I like to write down what we will be having for either dinner or lunch. I also like decorating my planner with lots of stickers, labels, stencils and fortunes from fortune cookies (I don't eat the cookie, I just take out the fortune).

This week I decided I would use the Sweet life daily inserts for my hobby section.  I used the Marion Smith date seals as  bullet points. I also used the Purple Heart checklist notepad to mark down errands. 

Well ladies and gents, that is all I have for you today. Until next time. Bye Bye.

Hello, Ara here. Today I am showing you how I use the sweet life weekly inserts in my Heart of Gold planner . For this week I used the inserts for all my "home to dos" (AKA: housework).  I have been scared to use vertical inserts because I write pretty big, but hot damn, THESE  are nice!! I will continue to use these for sure! Look at all that space, plenty of writing space and decorating space.

Here is close up. I use the date seals as a little checkbox so that I can mark it off once I have completed that task.

Another Close up: The  journaling area to the right is where I will be jotting down Items that we need from the grocery store throughout the week. 

I used the Purple heart checklist as a "to call" note. I added alphas stickers and hole punched it to add into my planner. 

That is all for today friends, Don't forget if you would like to see more of how I use this planner, check out my: Instagram. Until next time, bye bye. 

Araceli from the Planner team

Hello Ara here, Today I wanted to share with you my current week (week 33). Since I don't have much going on this week, I chose to use the Daily Planner Inserts as a weekly insert.

What I did was covered the Morning, Afternoon and evening and labeled them as Buy/Errands/Call. 

On the bottom right side of the insert, I used it as a meal plan (this is what I plan to make during the week).

Until Next time, Ara. =)

Hello, Ara here. Today I wanted to share with you my current week in my Heart of Gold Planner (1st edition) using the weekly inserts which can be purchased: HERE. I use these inserts for "home stuff". Can you catch the little error at the top? lol. 

Here is a little close up of the left side of the spread, I am a scrapbooker as well so I like to incorporate my sticker stash into my planner (no more hoarding). For the days of the week I used some washi tape. This side of the spread is a bit on the empty side for the time being, I have family coming over for the week and we have no idea what we have planned yet.

I love that the Heart of Gold Planner has pockets in the back as well. I like to stuff my pockets and guess what, it still closes shut! What I like to add to my pockets are planner clips/page markers/paperclips/notepad sheets/sticky notes/date seals and some decorations. 

and lastly, my dashboard. I am constantly changing my dashboard and find that no matter what pattern I choose, it goes well with this planner.

Until Next time, Ara. =) 

A Junque Gypsy layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello there, Marion Smith fans! I'm back today with my second post for the month featuring the oh-so-gorgeous Junque Gypsy collection in the 12x12 version with a subtitle tag from the 6x6 version. I've always loved anything that's a little Boho Chic, so when I stumbled upon this fab vintage photo, I couldn't wait to scrap it! I may have to even use it a couple of more times to satisfy the inner "Gypsy" in me! 

I love that paper tearing has become popular again because it gives an instant distressed look. I used a bit of super heavy gesso, a stencil and some mist to give my base paper some depth and texture. Then I framed the photo with a chipboard piece, some florals and a gorgeous Junque and Gems Aqua Button. When I sacrifice those babies, you know the layout is very special to me! It is super sparkly IRL. Amongst my floral cluster are some Time Keeper paper flowers and a piece of black netting from an old produce sack. 

Here are some close-ups for you:

 

I hope you're having a creative week! 

Thanks for coming by!

Romance Novel Ch2 and more with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, everyone! Sandi here with you today featuring a layout this time created with a mix of Marion Smith collections: Romance Novel Ch. 2, Timekeeper and Garment District. 

I've use a sheet of Timekeeper Marchant as my base and layered on the gorgeous Romance Novel Ch. 2 For Keeps. Before adding my additional layers, I prepared my background with clear gesso, super heavy gesso and mists. Then I had fun adding tons of layers using Romance Novel Ch. 2's Forever along with Garment District's Alterations tags and more of the Timekeeper Marchant. I've also used Marion's Pink Jasmine paper flowers. 

Here are some close-ups:

That's it from me today. 

Thanks for stopping by!
