i LOVE to share and talk about things i LOVE.
because why not share the good am i right?!
joann stores AND joann online have been graced and stocked with beautiful heidi swapp kits that are brimming with nothing but beautiful creative possibilities.
each with their own personality and twist...you will be sure to fall in LOVE with each and every one.
say hello to my current favourite: the floral planner journal kit.
i have been OBSESSED with grid notebooks and i absolutely ADORE this one.
i am using it for my creative team 'working' planner to keep track of my monthly assignments, social media postings, brainstorming, inspiration, ideas...pretty much ALL the things creative wise.
and the fact that it is GRID.
YES!
cause do you know how hard it is sometimes to find a fabulous GRID notebook?!
trust me...i have looked!
so here is a basic walk through of my creative 'working' planner.
and i say 'working' because lets be honest.
i find that with planners...there is a pressure to make them 'pretty'.
and why i do LOVE a pretty notebook...and making them pretty....i also crave a place where i can just chicken scratch, and make lists, a place to release the pressure and need to feel perfect.
i need a notebook where i can just let it all go and allow it to come to life on it's own...be functional, meaningful, workable AND pretty.
the kind of planner that simply takes on a life of its own.
well friends, THIS is that planner.
and i kinda love it.
i begin each month with a calendar spread.
being that it is my creative team planner i use it solely to list my deadlines with assignments and postings.
i love a birds eye view of the month where i can see what is due when.
it helps me plan and prepare appropriately.
and like i said...i still love to add a bit 'pretty' so i have used cards and stickers that have come with this planner.
as well as additional washi tape from THIS handmade by heidi kit.
i also love that i am using up some of my random stash when working in this planner too (alpha stickers, stickers and stamps etc.)
below you can see what i mean with chicken scratch.
i just let it all out here.
notes, ideas, potential projects, ideas that are rejected, new ones.
the whole gamut.
and guess what? its TOTALLY ok.
and i'm totally OK.
no need to be perfect here friends. just productive!
march's calendar.
i dedicate a section for both my blog and creative assignments each month.
i also include a dated list which tracks when i post to social media (not pictured).
there is also a devoted space for brainstorming.
which is absolutely vital for me in the creative process.
i just love this planner journal.
it has kept me motivated, accountable and productive.
what else more could you ask for?
ok...maybe more stickers ;)
be sure to check out this fabulous kit if you are looking for something to help you get organized, motivated and creative.
it really is awesome and has helped me so much.
