Pieces of our Story | Clique Kits International Design Team

Hello Everyone!! I hope your week is treating you well so far. This week my post is about pieces of my story. For me, I use my memory planner for a lot of my journaling and jotting down little notes about things that happen through the day or week. Just little things I may not remember. Now, don't get me wrong, I do use it for planning as well and playing, making it look pretty. But I like that I can add pictures that may not make it onto layouts, or journaling that I can hide, most I don't in here. For my May memory planner I decided to use the bright and beautiful Sampler kit | Some Days kit.

I use the monthly layout to jot down all my thoughts, appointments and the things that are going on, then I moved to my weekly pages and rewrite what was going on on those days. Usually because I don't get to it right then. Once I added my journaling and appointments and things then I move to pictures I might have from that week.

I know I share these online and there are things I don't want to share with the world, so I make little pockets like this, so I can write them down, have them apart if my memory planner, but know that they don't have to be seen by everyone too. Not only that, but it adds some pretties to my page and lets me play with more of the products lol.

After I add my pictures, I know exactly what room I have left to play and add all those pretties and thats what I do at this point. I play. Its relaxing and fun. I have to be honest, I think memory planning is easy for me, most of the time. I love the fact that if my kids do something goofy or new or fun, that I can jot it down and have it all in one spot. Things that they can go back and look at too. I scrapbook a lot and I LOVE it, but I don't know about you, but I have photos that don't alway make it to a full layout, so I get to stick them in here, along with the story or memory. I hope you enjoyed my memory planner spread. I will be sharing more over on my Instagram account too. Make sure to head over to the Clique Kits shop and check out all the amazing kits and check out the design team! There are so many different fantastic ladies on the team with their own way of using the kits. Its always fun and inspiring to see what they are up to!

March Memory planning/Pebbles guest designer

Good morning everyone, Sarah here this morning and so excited to be guest designing for Pebbles and working with there new collection Patio Party!! This collection is full of beautiful florals and other patterns, it gives you so many options of things to do!! Cards, layouts, planner spreads and memory planning is what I am sharing with you today!

I am sharing my memory planning for the month of March!

 

I started out my month by writing a list of things that I needed to get done and a few ideas of things that I wanted to do but weren't at the top of my list. Then I went for the fun stuff! I pulled out all the pretties that Pebbles sent me and started to play!

​I went threw and grabbed some of my favorite papers,embellishments and started to add them in my planner . I used some wood grain washi from my stash and covered the separating lines in my planner to make them a color I wanted and to add just a little more to my weekly spreads.

​This month my family has quite a few birthdays so I wanted to make sure they were all documented too! I added in some of the cut aparts with washi so that I had places to journal about things that went on whith the bday parties and what we were all doing. My mom was in Florida for her birthday, so I thought it would be a great time to add the cute flamingos in too!!

​My last week of march was almost finished, when my youngest daughter, shes a year and a half old, decided to add her own touch in on my planner! I thought about covering everything up, but I decided that it was ok, I could leave it in there and make sure I journal about what my little goof did.  I kinda think its fun to know I can look back and see what she did later and the journaling to go along with it.
Well I very much appreciate being able to share my memory planning with you and I hope you enjoyed it as well!! 

Setting up my Planner with June "Storytime" kit/The Fairytale Club

Good morning everyone!

 I'm here this morning to share with you a spread in my memory planner. And man am I so excited to be using the June "Storytime" Kit! It is so beautiful! I have a things for purple and this kit has it!

I do memory planning, but just like a lot of other planner girls, I do a little bit of set up before the month starts. The spread I'm sharing with you today is the last few days of June and the Start of July. 

I started out by choosing a paper from the kit.This was harder then I thought it was going to be. But I decided on the one with the pretty two toned hearts and cut it down to fit the right hand side of the page. I tend to cover this portion, because its already colored in my planner, so I cover it, I dont always do this, but most of the time. After I have that adhered down I choose a washi tape that I want to use, this kit has a lot of gold in it so I chose a gold washi tape. To be honest, I love to use the gold washi anyways, lol. 

At this point I start to play a little with embellishments, inserts, tags and other things. I remembered seeing this "Hi" planner page and I thought that it would be a great way to bring in July! So I punched it so it would fit in my planner and then grabbed the beautiful chipboard alphas and wrote July in different colors. Then I went back and grabbed that cute little crown and added it to the top of the insert.

I did add a few pieces from the ephemera pack. A few of the pretty gold foiled hearts, wrote in things that I knew were happening on these days and added a few other bits here and there. But I did make sure to leave quite a bit open because I know I will add pictures and more journaling.

Junes "Storytime" kit is beautiful and if you haven't subscribed yet, make sure you go check it out, you wont want to miss out on this beautiful kit!!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours is still going today! I was happy to find out we had a three day weekend and the kids have been loving it too!

Well this morning I'm here to share my second week of February with y'all. I just have to say that I love all the pretty colors and oh yes, Simon!! He's just so cute!

I have had a few busy weeks with the little ones. We've been bouncing around this nasty little cold, sinus infections and such, boo :( But right now it seems to have mellowed out and I hope it stays that way. I cut some of my planner pages down to where they fit and cover some of the planner boxes so that I can have that pop of color, I usually place it on the second page of my weekly spread, like I did here. I go in with my washi tape and cover the sectioned of lines and add more to the bottom strips that are there. 

I use some of the DITL kit through out my planner here and there too, like the DITL cards over to the left. I attach it with some washi on the front and back for a little more security. I usually put this here for a pop of color, and because there cute! But I also use it to cover a little bit of journaling that I don't want right out there for everyone to see. Plus I'm not a huge fan of my own hand writing lol.

I like to add in pictures I take threw out the week of my littles and things that go on. I love that I can keep track of things that I may not scrap and I add things I still know I will scrap lol. Like my daughter pulling herself up and staying in the sitting position, or one of my other daughters falling to sleep in the car when we go get the other kiddos from school, almost every day this happens and it makes me laugh every time. I added some of the cute little stickers and tabs for some filler and to mark where things happened, like my parents coming to visit for the day or my littles starting to feel sick.

My sister came to stay the weekend, so I ended up with a TON of snap chat pictures, My kids love all the different filters! And I had to make sure to mark the Walking Dead returning!! We love watching that. And my oldest Valentines dance. I cut a few more things out of my planner pages and added them in. I love that when I have slower weeks like this and the past few, since we've all been sick around here, that I have such cute stickers, die cuts and tabs and such to liven up my pages. I added a few little heart puffy stickers from my stash and called it done for this week.

I hope you enjoyed my planner spread this week and I hope you come back to see what I have for you and I hope you stop by the Cocoa Daisy blog and check out what all the other Daisy girls are doing this week!! And Happy Monday!

December Memory Planning/Cocoa Daisy DT

Good morning everyone, Sarah here this morning to share my December Memory planning with you.

So far this month I have almost four weeks of my planner done and have done a bit of prep for the last few days of my forth week.

I laid out my 1st week starting with my pretty paper on the right side of my planner and boxing those off into there individual sections of the day. Then I moved onto my washi tape that separated the different sections of the day. To be honest I don't always use these different sections for the different times of day or anything, I use them how they suite me.

I added in my pictures where I knew I wanted them to go and then started in with my decorating and adding my appointments, activities and such for the week.

Each week is different for me. Sometimes I have more writing, whether its to keep up with appointment or to wright down things that have happened so that I don't forget. Like my second week of  December.

And then there are some weeks where I add more pictures, like here in my third week of the month and still have my appointment and journaling about things that have happened.

I'm still working on this week. With it being Christmas and so much going on, I haven't added a ton yet. I went in and preped my pages and added in what I already had printed out picture wise, added all of my appointments and as the week has gone on I have went in and added bits and pieces of journaling about things that have happened and embellished more.

I love to add pictures to my planner spreads, I've said this before, but I don't always take a picture each day, so I might go without one here or there. This week has been so busy that I haven't added but two photos and that's because I had them pre printed. This is also something I don't normally do. But I had pictures of all my favorite Christmas shows printed because I had added them to my list on Netflix and made sure the others were recorded on my TV, so I put those down the days I watched them.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my memory planning for this month and I hope to share more as I go on! Make sure to check out what all the other Cocoa Daisy girls are doing too!!

Planner spreads with Here comes the sun/ Pretty little Studio DT

Good morning everyone! This morning I'm sharing some spreads from my planner. I really call it memory planning.
