Plan with me August 31 to September 6, 2015 Cigar box theme


 
 
     I am so ready for fall!! Aren't you? In spirit of getting ready for the fall I decided to use Prima Market Inc. 6x6 paper stack called Cigar Box Secrets.  I love the fall colors and the fact that its shabby chic/vintage really adds to its rustic charm.  The Washi tapes are a mixture of Hobby Lobby's brand paper studio and Graphic 45's "Gatsby" print Washi tape. I cut used a varitey of papers from the paper stack and cut them into rectangles measuring 1 1/2 by 2 1/4 to fit my boxes and then I distressed all the sides with Tim Holtz Distress ink (Tea Dye) using a small cosmetic sponge.  Lastly, I glued them down with my glue stick and then applied my Washi tape in the centers and the edges of my pages.  I hope you like my design for this week and can't wait to get into my fall madness!!! It's on like Donkey Kong.  I invite you to check out my step by step video on my scrapbook channel but as of next week I will add all videos to my new channel that I have already opened, so if you want to subscribe (hint hint..lol)  you can do so.  Have a wonderful week and will chat with you some more throught the week as I plan on doing some hauls getting ready for the fall !!!!

Planning Aug 17-23 with Echo Parks "Homegrown"

 
 

 August always reminds me of our local farmer's market in Dallas,Texas.  Even more so now that I started my Gluten Free life this week.  So naturally it came to me that since I can't eat breads I need lots of fruits and vegetables to help get rid of  those cravings and I'm hoping that fresh farm produce will do the trick.
   Here is how I created this weeks planner layout.  I started off by cutting my papers into 1 1/2 x 2  1/2 inch rectangles with my cutting board.  I then wanted to cover over my (morning afternoon evening) banners.  So in order to do that I cut strips of the burlap paper from the paper kit into 1/8 inch strips. Once I cut everything I wanted for my weeks layout, I began to put papers down randomly until there was a pattern that grabbed my eyes but not so distracting that I wouldn't be able to add my bullet tags. I then used my 3m glue stick and put all papers down into place.  Now we get to my favorite part... I grabbed some cute red and white polka dot washi tape and put it down vertically on the insides of the page.  Then added in stickers from the collection that I liked.  After I was finished and happy with my layout I then grabbed my planner memo stickers and wrote down our schedule for the week on them. I use them by color, like my plans are pink, Mia's are Blue since that is her favorite color and Aidan's is Green, they didn't have red ones that I noticed but red is his favorite color so pretty soon I will get those and the orange is for everybody.  I hope you like this weeks layout. Thank you for stopping by and looking 😀.  Please feel free to comment, I love hearing from you and if you have any ideas please let me know.
