February Planner

This year I have embraced the planner craze – call me #plannernerd!  One of the things I use regularly in my planners (yes, plural) are stamps. Pink and Main have a great planner set called Life Tasks, which I have, but I really want them all now that I’ve become hooked! I also use any stamp set that I think fits my theme or activities. You will be amazed at how you can use something from most stamps sets in your planner.  For example: the swirls on either side of the words on the doilies is actually half a moustache from the Mister stamp set – true story!

My creative planner this year is a Heidi Swapp Memory Planner which I use to document my everyday and special occasions. For February I used the Life Tasks stamp set and a lot of the New Release  stamps sets. The New Releases have some seriously cute sayings and small images which fit perfectly in planners.   This is my spread for February so far:

I like adding lift-ups too for more space for writing or private thoughts. For Valentines day I added a small accordion booklet to document my day with images and sayings from the New Release stamp sets:

On the other page of the planner is a page of photo pockets. This month just happened to have six 3×4 photo pockets. I used some of the sayings from the New Release sets to add to my photos. On the Smirnof photo I stamped directly on the photo with Stazon – it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

If you are a self-confessed planner nerd like me, I encourage you to look at your stamps in a new light and use them in your planners.
