Nae | Heart Day | Planner Dashboard

Hey Sassy girlies, Nae here, back again still posting a few little exciting projects for you to complete my guest design team position for the store. I have absolutely loved designing for Sassy Scrappers. If you are thinking about applying for the design team, you should definitely sign up! Olga is just the most beautiful chicky to work with!

Today, I want to share with you my first page in my new planner for 2017. I have a gold dot Kikki K large planner and I cant wait to fill it with a year full of memories and reminders. The Crate Paper Heart Day is just so adorably beautiful. I don't do themes and even though this was a valentines themed collection, I wanted to show you all today how you can work your products to communicate differently than the theme it was intended for. 

I am always so in love with those beautiful planners that are decked out to the nines with beautiful pretty embellishments just waiting in the pockets to be used within the planner pages. I thought I would make a collection of my most favourite cut apart pieces from the patterned paper and a few other little embellishments to try and recreate a pretty collection like the ones in those Pinterest photos. 

My title page, or dashboard for the entire planner was not even intended to look like it does now.. I had planned on not using a single photo but as soon as I saw that pretty frame from the ephemera pack, I knew I wanted to put a beautiful photo on there to remind me of what is important in life - family. That little boy is my whole life and I would do anything for that little thing... Yes he may only be my nephew but he may as well be my own child. Just seeing his smile always makes me smile and it is important to have that special person in your life. 

I loved fussy cutting out those beautiful florals and hiding them behind a doily to soften them up again the black and white polka paper. Aren't the cactus in this collection just divine? I am in love with those little cacti and need more!! This collection just has me in so much love. It is the perfect pretty pink and girly love! I reinforced the holes on the left side of my page with some washi, I find it is always an easy solution if you don't have pretty hole reinforcers at your disposal.

I hope you have enjoyed looking through the starts of my planner. I hope that I can share with you more planner pages in the future. I would love to see your planner pages for the beginning of 2017! Don't be afraid to use your planner as an extension of your scrapbooking. That is the easiest way to use your planners and not just have them sitting on the shelf looking pretty.

Love you all guys,
Love always,
Nae xoxo

Weekly Planner | Pinkfresh Studios | Indigo Hills | Nae Bowell

Hey Lovelies, its that time of the week again and I am excited to be back to show you another of my fun planner pages using the beautiful Pinkfresh Studios, Indigo Hills collection. This range has some amazing products that lend themselves very nicely to planner pages. The collection has an entire sticker set that appears to be made specifically for planners. 

This weeks spread I decided to really get into the stickers from the collection and layer my page with puffy stickers, chipboard stickers and the planner stickers with beautiful florals, inspirations quotes and of course those amazing hearts!

I am not one to use random word stickers or phrases in my planners but I really found it quite therapeutic just sticking in and reading over the quotes to inspire me through out the week. I love how the stickers just filled up my some what boring week. I basically cleaned house all week for a house inspection. No matter how boring the week, always remember it is important to document and capture those little moments in time.

I had seen a technique used by a few different planner girls now where they reinforce their binder holes with washi tape. I used the beautiful floral wide washi that is in the collection to add a light layer of detail behind my gold hole reinforcers. I just love all the little details just floating behind the main contents of the week. 

Remember you don't have to be restricted to just washi tape and stickers. I have used strips of patterned paper cut to size to fit within my days to highlight important events like work. You can even colour coordinate your events to have particular colours to keep a consistent feel to your weekly spread. 

Unfortunately there is no process video for me this week. I have decided to try and take it a little easy with the videos over Christmas. Working in retail is chaotic enough but add Christmas to the mix and look out for a whole different world of craziness. Ill be back in January with more process videos. 

Jump over to the Sassy Scrapper store to grab all your Indigo Hills products. They are simply amazing and are definitely worth adding to your planner collection!

Love you guys, 

Love always, 

Nae xoxo

Nae | Bella Blvd - Addison | Planner Layout

Hey Lovelies, Nae here again today and playing with some of the beautifully sassy papers from the Bella Blvd, Addison collection. The collection is majorly a teen girl kind of collection but you know me, I don't stick to any them a paper dictates and I prefer to make the collections work how I want them... 

This week I am going to a concert and I am so so so excited. I am a huge fan of Delta Goodrem and I just knew I had to commemorate this week with a beautiful, funky, pink layout..

My planner works as both a planning system and a memory keeping journal. I add in appointments and other important dates in the beginning of the week and then continue to add things that happen throughout the week. This is why my planner pages are never completely full. 

Some people are afraid to use their full size ephemera pieces in their planners but in all honesty, it makes your pages more exciting. Don't ever feel confined to the size of your columns for the day. I often over lap tags, labels and embellishments on my pages to connect days and give the entire layout a feeling of fluidity. 

I also use labels consistently throughout my layout to connect like events. Work is always within a label and staggered up and down my columns during the week. Even if they are the same time every day... It is just more pleasing to the eye when things aren't all lined up.. Its intentional unorganisation and thats what makes it organised. 

In each of my planner layouts, I like to include a little 3x4 insert into the middle of the page just to add a little interest. It can highlight events, provide some motivational words of wisdom, or even hold place for a favourite photo of the week. It is my little piece of space to really create within my planner pages without having a real planning purpose. 

 

I hope you enjoyed that planner layout using the adorable Addison Collection. I will be back next week with another project but for now, I would love it if you jumped over and checked out my process video for this layout. Thanks so much girlies, don't forget to jump over to the Sassy store to grab your Addison pretties!!

Love always, 

Nae xoxo
