Kindred Stamps has outdone themselves with this great new planner stamp set "Kindred Plans: Work". I loved playing and creating and see myself incorporating this set into many of my other monthly and weekly spreads.

The more I use the Plannie stamps the more I realize that I need to have ALL the WORDS from each set! I love when things look uniform and symmetrical and I love the way the words from each set that has been released compliment each other. I was able to use the words from 3 different stamp sets this week in my spread, the new set (work) and also the Celebrations set and Adulting set.

I always use pencil first to get my lines and make sure my monthly boxes are where I want them to be. The next step is to stamp, this allows me to get that built in look with my stamp sets. Lastly, I go over it with a ruler and Tombow Mono Twin Pen.

Let the coloring begin!

To get the pumpkins at the bottom of the page I stamped several Plannie pumpkins from the Celebrations stamp set. I then carefully cut them out and layered them with glue in the final design.

I LOVE how the words fit so perfectly in these frames! What a great way to add some cuteness to every month.

Planner Annie: Breast Cancer Awareness

Planner Annie: Breast Cancer Awareness

Thanks for Stopping!

Last week, I talked about how I needed to have ALL the words from the adorable planner sets kindred Stamps has to offer. This week I continued to incorporate a variety words from multiple planner stamp sets, but focused on a weekly breast cancer awareness spread.
As almost everyone knows, October is breast cancer awareness month which is a topic near and dear to so many of our hearts. I wanted this spread to focus on hope, inspiration, and courage. I also wanted to keep Miss Annie fun by bringing her to life with pink hair! That's the best part about stamping in your journal, you can make it different every single time!
Prior to the coloring and adding all the fun elements, I measure and layout my spread. I have a very much loved plastic eraser that doesn't damage the paper in my journals and my favorite TUL pencil.
