Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - September 2019!

Hello again everyone!

Today I am back to share a planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

First I used the word "day" from the stamp set Appointments and then the word "off" from Everyday Basics. I placed them together and stamped them on Monday and Tuesday. We have off on Monday for Labor Day and thanks to Hurricane Dorian we also have off on Tuesday now.

This week doesn't have a lot going on due to the Hurricane but I did fill it in with some cute critters from one of Paper Sweeties' new releases, Sea You Soon. I "borrowed" three adorable die cuts from my mom's, OhSoCuteByLisa, stash. She is an excellent colorer!

Next I stamped the word "edit" from Get Your Craft On to mark the things that need to be edited this week. Thanks to the hurricane I will have some down time to get my videos edited and uploaded...hopefully!

The last two stamps I used come from a set called Winter Sentiments. I stamped "pay day" on Friday and "to do" on the right page above a checklist.

All of the Planner Series stamp sets go great with one another. I love being able to use all of the sets each month!

Here is a look at my monthly spread using all different stamp sets from Paper Sweeties:


I hope you will check out all of the stamp sets from the Planner Series at Paper Sweeties! These stamp sets really make planning out my activities easy and fun!

Paper Sweeties 7th Birthday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop


Hello and welcome back to my blog!
Paper Sweeties is celebrating their 7th birthday all this month!
To help celebrate this milestone, the Coffee Loving Cardmakers are helping
us celebrate! Our whole team has made beverage/birthday themed projects to
inspire you! I made this cute little coffee themed tag with the Sweet Cuts For You 
die and the Eat Cake stamp set.
I stamped the sweet coffee cup on to some pretty patterned paper and popped
it up on foam tape. That darling sentiment and the sweet little birdie
 is from the You Warm My Heart stamp set.




You can hop along with us for inspiration and fun!
Here is the hop list so you can follow along!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life - August 2019!

Hello again everyone!

Today I am back to share a planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

So here is a little story for all of you. Unfortunately my house decided that things were just going too well and all was quiet. So my house said hey lets break a pipe. The hot water pipe. So yes the hot water pipe in my house broke leaving us without hot water for what might be around 2 months or so. And on top of that there is a huge reconstruction remodel taking place in my house to fix the pipe and repair the damages. And no folks I am not making any of this up...

With all of that being said, todays post is a throwback to July when things were going the way they should be and there were no leaks in my house. I hope this spread brightens your day like it is trying to brighten mine!

First I used the words "blog post" from the stamp set Get Your Craft On.

I used the set Vacation because we are headed on a cruise this summer and these stamps were such a fun way to mark it. I used the cruise ship and plane to mark our flight to and from the cruise. I added a piece of washi to mark the duration of the trip. I also used the word "vacation" to mark my mom's vacation.

I did stamp out the word "birthday" and hand wrote the word "Matthew." This stamp comes from the set Celebrate.

I stamped the words "to do" on the sidebar to mark all the tasks that need to be accomplished in the month of July. This phrase comes from Winter Sentiments.

All of the Planner Series stamp sets go great with one another. I love being able to use all of the sets each month!

Here is a look at my monthly spread using all different stamp sets from Paper Sweeties:
I am currently using the Erin Condren Life Planner(affiliate link). It has the perfect amount of space each month for everything that I need to track and plan out. The adventure sticker is also from an Erin Condren sticker book. I thought it went really nicely with this spread.

The monthly kit that I used for this month is from Planning Made Easy. You can use code: TAYLOR20 to save 20% on your order from Planning Made Easy. They have the cutest stickers! Also super functional! They are for sure my go to sticker shop as well as my favorite shop and have been for years!๐Ÿ˜

The last touch was adding in washi along the bottom to cover up the days that were not being used for this month.

I hope you will check out all of the stamp sets from the Planner Series at Paper Sweeties! These stamp sets really make planning out my activities easy and fun!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - July 2019!

Hello again everyone!

Today I am back to share a planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

First I used the words "blog post" from the stamp set Get Your Craft On.

The next two stamp sets I used were Everyday Basics and Vacation. I used the word "test," "visit," and "work" from Everyday Basics.

I used the set Vacation because we are headed on a cruise this summer and these stamps were such a fun way to mark it. I used the cruise ship and plane to mark our flight to and from the cruise. I added a piece of Simply Gilded washi to mark the duration of the trip. I also used the word "vacation" to mark my mom's vacation.

Once I had the Vacation set out I stamped out a palm tree to mark a planner meet up that I am hosting. That palm tree just looks so perfect!

After that I stamped in the doggie from Appointments and wrote in that I have to give my dog her medicine that day. I absolutely adore this little doggie!

I did stamp out the word "birthday" and hand wrote the word "Matthew." This stamp comes from the set Celebrate. I also placed a balloon sticker from a Krissyanne Designs sticker book from Michaels.

I stamped the words "to do" on the sidebar to mark all the tasks that need to be accomplished in the month of July. This phrase comes from Winter Sentiments.

Last but certainly not least, I "borrowed" three adorable die cuts from my mom's, OhSoCuteByLisa, stash. She is an excellent colorer! These critters are from June's release over at Paper Sweeties. The stamp set is called Sea You Soon and there are matching dies for it as well.

All of the Planner Series stamp sets go great with one another. I love being able to use all of the sets each month!

Here is a look at my monthly spread using all different stamp sets from Paper Sweeties:


I am currently using the Erin Condren (affiliate link) Folio. It has the perfect amount of space each month for everything that I need to track and plan out.

Here's a tip! I didn't have the July - September Petite Planner so I transformed the June layout for July. I used the "July" sticker from Krissyanne Designs sticker book at Michaels that uses Cindy's (@llamaletters) handwriting. Once I had the month changed I used the numbers that also come in the book to change the dates throughout the month. I really love how it came out!!

The last touch was adding in Simply Gilded washi along the bottom to cover up the days that were not being used for this month.

I hope you will check out all of the stamp sets from the Planner Series at Paper Sweeties! These stamp sets really make planning out my activities easy and fun!

Happy Little Stampers ATC June Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am back today to share an adorable ATC for this months challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

For anyone who isn't familiar with ATC cards, they are mini works of art that measure 2.5" x 3.5" and are traded around the world. Usually they are numbered and signed on the back by the artist.

This month's theme is Christmas. How fitting that I have a whole line of die cuts with Santa hats over at PrettyPaperPieces4U! So of course I had to use one of them that we currently sell in our Etsy Shop

I cut out a beautiful piece of paper from Snow Day by Lawn Fawn. I have linked where you can pick up this beautiful pack because it is perfect for all of your Christmas themed cards and projects.

Once I chose my paper, I went to the stash of die cuts from our Etsy shop and I chose Polly the Penguin with the Santa hat because it seemed most fitting!

Once I had those two chosen I looked through my mom's, Lisa, stash of dies to find the perfect decoration to finish off the card

I chose snowflakes from the Snowflake Kisses set by Kat Scrappiness.  I die cut the snowflake and the center piece that came out was used to accent the hat on Polly the Penguin.

Here is my finished ATC:




This card was so much fun to make!

I hope you'll play along with us this month and enter the ATC challenge at Happy Little Stampers

Thanks for stopping by!

Go Wild. Amazing. End of Story.

Last month was the conclusion of the 4th year of Go Wild. 

For those of you who don't know Go Wild is an amazing event put on by the admins of Planners Gone Wild on Facebook. 

Go Wild began in Nashville 4 years ago and has since traveled to New Orleans, Texas and now this year...Vegas. 

Last year was my very first year. I wrote a blog post afterwards because I needed to express how amazing and life changing this event is. 

Everyone asks me, well what is your conference for?

The simple answer is that it's a planner conference but it is so much more than that. So much more!

Go Wild is an event like no other. You get to connect and hear from amazing other women in this community. There are people that come from all over just to attend Go Wild. In my opinion GW is life changing. 

This is now my second year being able to attend and exactly like I said last year, I don't plan on missing any more of these.

Last year I left this conference so happy and uplifted and I am leaving this year feeling that way times 1000. I have made so many new friends, connected with old friends, laughed, danced, smiled and was unapologetically me. 

Now this phrase "unapologetically me" has been in my mind this entire weekend. Last year I was worried about so many things and this year none of that mattered. I was me. I didn't have to do or change anything about me. I got to be me. I was unapologetically me!

This phrase entered my mind as I entered Planjama. I went out on the dance floor and I danced my butt off. I danced with 1400 of my closest llama friends and I had the time of my life. I didn't care what I looked like or who was watching, I was having fun. And that is what Go Wild is all about. Fun. Connections. Being you. Being unapologetically you!

I had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing and talented women this weekend. I got to connect with women in person that I have been friends with online for the past 5-6 years. Go Wild allows you to do things you would have never dream of before. 

I said it once and I'll say it again....Go Wild is life changing. End of story!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series- June 2019!

Hello again everyone!

Today I am back to share a planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

First I used the words "blog post" from the stamp set Get Your Craft On. I also used the stamp "Craft Day" from this set.

The next two stamp sets I used were Everyday Basics and Vacation to stamp out the words "breakfast" and "vacation."

Once I had the Vacation set out I stamped out a palm tree to mark a planner meet up that I am hosting. That palm tree just looks so perfect! I also stamped a sun from the same set and colored it in with Zig Markers.

After that I stamped in the doggie and paw print from Appointments. I absolutely adore this little doggie!

I did stamp out the word "birthday" on stickers and hand wrote the word "Grandma's." This stamp comes from the set Celebrate.

I stamped the words "to do" on the sidebar to mark all the tasks that need to be accomplished in the month of June. This phrase comes from Winter Sentiments.

Last but certainly not least, I stamped the beautiful butterfly from a set called Bee Happy and then I colored it in again with Zig Markers.

All of the Planner Series stamp sets go great with one another. I love being able to use all of the sets each month!

Here is a look at my monthly spread using all different stamp sets from Paper Sweeties:


I am currently using the Erin Condren (affiliate link) Life Planner. It has the perfect amount of space each month for everything that I need to track and plan out.

The monthly kit that I used for this month is from Planning Made Easy. I absolutely love the summer-y feel and I am so happy that summer is here.

I hope you will check out all of the stamp sets from the Planner Series at Paper Sweeties! These stamp sets really make planning out my activities easy and fun!
