Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - December 2020!

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

It's Planner Inspiration day at Paper Sweeties!

This is my 2020 Mini Happy Planner:

It has a different layout than my previous Planners...the boxes remind me of the monthly spread...so I got confused one time and wrote stuff on "Friday" instead of "Thursday". I'm getting used to it, even though it's a little tight to write stuff down.
Here's what I did for December (click to enlarge):

I stamped images and words, using Planner Series: Get Your Craft On, Planner Series: Wedding, Planner Series: Business Basics and Planner Series stamp set: All Occasions.

Then, I added some MAMBI stickers and penned in some chores, etc...

Supplies:

Planner Series - Wedding

Planner Series - Get Your Craft On Paper Sweeties

Planner Series: Business Basics

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Here's my last project for November...can't believe December is almost here!!!

I used papers and a scallop circle die cut from my stash. I brushed yellow Shimmer Brush on scallops.

Birthday Cards

You're My Jam + Multi Square Windows Thin Cut Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a couple cards using the same Multi Square Windows Thin Cut die in different ways...

Card #1

This is how it looks like, with You're My Jam stamps and Blue Belle Sequins and a sentiment stamp from a previous Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit Subscription.

Card #2

And this is how it could look, if you trim it to the size you want! I "framed" it with decorative tapes and only used You're My Jam stamps and some Blue Belle Sequins. This card was inspired by a sketch from a challenge (listed below), but I totally missed the deadline!

Challenges:

Card #1

AAA Birthday #19: For A Child and a DT Call

Seize the Birthday #203: 1, 2, and 3

Time Out #174: Festivals

Alphabet Challenge: P is for Party (We are 10yrs old)
