Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - November 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 November (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

French Dies {Fri}: Starbursts + Multi Circles Windows

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I have a couple of cards to share today, using die cuts from my scrap box...I found these starburst die cuts (CTMH Cricut Artbooking) and decided to use them all!

First card was for a sketch challenge, but I missed the deadline to link (of course)...

I added a left over negative cut, some stamping (dotted lines is CTMH You're My Jam), and some Blue Belle Sequins. Die Cuts were colored with Shimmer Brush and adhered on with foam dots.

For the second card, I layered the die cuts and also colored alternating layers with Shimmer Brush. I trimmed 2 of them shorter before layering the Flowers (Every Bit of Wonderful) with foam tape. Flowers were colored with clear and yellow Shimmer Brushes...
