Now I would like to share a planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

So to start I used the words "blog post" from the stamp set Get Your Craft On.

I then used the word "Meeting" from the stamp set Business Basics.

Then I wanted to add in some fun images so I used the stamp set Checklist to add in the paper clip and binder clip.

The last stamp set that I used was Winter Sentiments and I stamped out the words "School" and "Start."

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) Daily Petite. It has the perfect amount of space each month for everything that I need to track and plan out. The sticker at the top of the month is also from Erin Condren (affiliate link). It is from one of their sSticker Club Subscriptions from this year. I love having a quote at the top of the month!

I added Squiggly stickers and a pencil sticker from my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyPaperPieces4U. These are to mark days where I need to film or edit videos for my YouTube channel. I upload Plan With Me's and Planner Hauls on my channel. Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKxLsD9EYaOpTFKJ4-FKTyg.

I added in a cloud sticker from Krissyanne Designs because we are currently in the cone of Hurricane Isaias. So I thought that cloud was a cute way to mark it. 

I also added in some bright yellow washi from Simply Gilded to mark off the week that I go back to work.

Erin Condren Monthly Planner Review | July 2020

Erin Condren Design (@ErinCondren) | Twitter

Hey everyone! So happy you're here!

Today I am sharing the new Monthly Planner from Erin Condren

There are so many options when it comes to this planner. As the title states, this is a Monthly Planner. There is no weekly view like there is in the Life Planner

I love the Monthly Planner because I can add in all of my content for my blog, Instagram, and YouTube. I can track when I need to write up blog posts, post photos and edit videos, as well as plan out future ideas that I want to share with all of you. 

It has plenty of space to track just about anything; from children's schedules and activities to weight loss journeys to T.V. shows and movies. 

There are also a lot of options when purchasing this planner. After you have customized it there is an option to add additional note pages to the back.

This is exactly what I did and now I have a lot of room to jot down notes and random thoughts. This is also the perfect place to jot down future ideas for my social media content. 

Another feature I love is the checklist printed on the notes pages in the back. It is a column on the right hand side that allows you to make any type of list you need. 

Now who doesn't love a good checklist? I know I do!๐Ÿ˜‚

This checklist is on every notes page and has plenty of space to write and cross off that to-do list. 

Such a good feeling!

Here is a look at this gorgeous planner. I had it customized with my name on the front. I chose the Mid Century Circles pattern for the cover and a beautiful gold coil to match the front. 


I love this panner and how functional it is! I definitely feel more organized by having one specific topic in this planner. 

I would definitely recommend this planner to anyone who is looking to see all their monthly activities at a glance with the option to go into detail with all the notes pages. 

Thank you to the team over at Erin Condren for allowing me to collaborate on this beautiful planner! I love this planner and can't wait to share more on how I am using it each month with all of you. 

I do have a video over on my YouTube Channel right now for you to check out. I walk through the whole planner and show you all of the features it has to offer! Click here to watch the video!

Let me know what planner you are using now and if you are thinking of purchasing the Erin Condren Monthly Planner for yourself. It also makes a great gift!

I do have a link for you all to use if this is your first Erin Condren order. You can save $10 by clicking here

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Planner Spread 2020

Hey everyone!

As some of you may or may not know The Coffee Lovers Blog Hop has been taking place the last few days. My mom had a great idea to incorporate some extra coffee embellishments into my planner spread this week and then share it. So that's what I did. I was so inspired by all of the amazing creations she has done plus everyone that has linked their projects already. This layout was so much fun to create!


I have been using my Erin Condren Daily Petite Planner (affiliate link) to plan out my days and I just love how these two days came out with all the stamps and stickers.

So the stamps that say Coffee Break, Coffee Time, Girls Coffee Date, I am a Coffee Lover and To Do are all from Paper Sweeties' Planner Series Coffee Stamp Set. I also used the coffee beans, coffee cup and heart from the set.

The quote "Life happens. Coffee Helps." comes from Your Next Stamp.

All of the clear stickers and from Erin Condren and Happy Planner Sticker Books.

The Memorial Day Sticker is from Krissyanne Designs' Celebrations Collection that was released in December.

All of the cute animal stickers holding coffee cups are from my Etsy Shop: PrettyPaperPieces4U.

A big thank you to my mom, Lisa, for helping this entire spread come together. She sat with me and picked out stickers and helped place all the stamps. She truly knows how to design and I am so grateful for her and her help!

I love playing with all of my stickers but I don't do it nearly enough. I am trying to use my stickers way more that I even created a hashtag #usethesticker. I challenge you all to do the same. Use the sticker, don't hoard it like I do. I promise it brings way more joy to use it than to keep it in a binder on a shelf.

I have really enjoyed creating this layout! Thank you to everyone who has submitted an entry into the Coffee Lover for your inspiration and creativity!

Happy Crafting!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series- April 2020!

Hello again everyone!

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

Now you will notice that I am sharing a spread from last year. Unfortunately the world is a little different nowadays and I wanted to spread some positivity and happiness of better times. Check out the bright cherry kit that I used, it's sure to bring a smile to your face.

So to start 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 Winter Sentiments. Everyday Basics was released in November and it is the perfect stamp set for all types of planner spreads.

I used the stamp "work" from Everyday Basics and stamped it out on each day. I used the stamp "To do:" from Winter Sentiments on the sidebar to mark any important tasks to complete this month.

I also combined two different stamp sets. I used the stamp "Day" from Celebrate and the stamp "Off" from Everyday Basics.

I then stamped in the dog from the set Appointments. I wrote in next to it because I couldn't find a sticker to fit next to the doggy.

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.

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 - February 2020!

Hello again everyone!

How long was January?! It felt like forever, right?

Today I am sharing my planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

First I stamped the word "blog" and "post" from Get Your Craft On. Then I used the set Celebrate to stamp out "birthday." I then wrote in "Grandpa's" and "Nina's" above the stamp. 

After this I stamped "work" on every day throughout the month. This stamp comes from the set Everyday Basics. Then I stamped in all the days that I have meetings. The "meeting" stamp set comes from Business Basics.

Next was to add some icons. I used the Vacation stamp set which had the adorable car. Then I used the Shapes stamp set for the heart for Valentine's Day.

Then I felt that the heart needed some color so I used my Erin Condren Dual Tip Markers and colored them in.

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.

I also added in Simply Gilded Washi to the top and bottom of the spread. I love the ombre colors in this washi!

All of the Planner Series stamp sets go great with one another. I love being able to use all of the sets together 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. I bought all four planners this year to fit in my Folio. Last year I made the mistake in only purchasing the January - July and did not keep up with it the way that I should have. Anyway, I now have the complete collection for 2020 and can't wait to start filling it up! 

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 life" easy and fun!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - January 2020!

Hello again everyone and Happy New Year!

๐ŸŽ‰Happy 2020!๐ŸŽ‰

Wow where did 2019 go?!

I hope you have all had an amazing holiday season and are making amazing plans for 2020! I know I am! I have so many trips planned and I can't wait for every single one of them.

One of my goals for 2020 is to be better about blogging and what a great way to start by sharing my Paper Sweeties Planner Spread on January 1st 2020. So here we go:

Today I am sharing my JANUARY 2020 planner spread with you featuring Paper Sweeties Planner Series and their amazing stamp sets!

First I stamped the word "blog" and "post" from Get Your Craft On. Then I used the set Celebrate to stamp out "birthday." I then wrote in "My" and "Machaela's" above the stamp. My birthday is in 5 days and I am so excited!!

After this I stamped "work" on every day throughout the month. This stamp comes from the set Everyday Basics. I then used the word "day" from the stamp set Appointments and then the word "off" which also comes from Everyday Basics.

Once I had everything in place I took out the Winter Sentiments stamp set. I decided to fill in the top of my planner with "Happy New Year." Then I needed some decoration so using the same stamp set I took out the party hat. I stamped it on either side of the phrase and tilted them a tad.

Then I felt that the hats needed some color so I used my Erin Condren Dual Tip Markers and colored them in.

I also added in Simply Gilded Washi to show my two trips coming up in the first few weeks of January. I am so excited for both of them!!

All of the Planner Series stamp sets go great with one another. I love being able to use all of the sets together 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. I bought all four planners this year to fit in my Folio. Last year I made the mistake in only purchasing the January - July and did not keep up with it the way that I should have.
