Planner Sunday – 8th October Layout using Sunshine

Hello fellow Alchemists,

This weeks planner pages use The Reject Shops Sunshine collection. I believe this collection came out last year but I didn’t buy it til early this year. We had had a lot of hot sunny weather so I chose Sunshine, now it won’t stop raining!

As you an see I cut the bus in half. Don’t be afraid to cut your embellishments to make them fit your space! I really liked the bus but it was too big to fit on one day and leave enough room to write. Cutting it in half let me keep the space needed. Not only did I use colourful washi for the borders but I also used washi for my checkboxes this week. Do you have washi you could use like this?

I am seriously thinking about making a separate channel for planner related things. That way the crafty peeps don’t get spammed by my planner stuff and vice versa. Go create some arty crafty alchemy yourselves. Hope you enjoyed this weeks planning.

Reject Shops Full Bloom and 10/9 Planner Page

Hello fellow Alchemists,

I may have been shopping again… The Reject Shop has a nice tropical themed new paper craft range called Full Bloom and I happened to snag a set. What’s a girl to do but to put it straight to good use? This one was a bit out of my comfort zone with bright colours and a colour I wouldn’t normally use.

The new Full Bloom paper kit has stickers, stamps with a really cute Sloth, journaling cards, diecuts and of the paper pad. I went with the Cockatoos this time instead of the Sloth, maybe next time! The Reject Shop ranges are great value, you get so much for a fraction of the cost of designer brands.

I enjoy having a full range of products because it makes pulling together cards and layouts quick and easy. The only thing I possibly need to add  is a stamped sentiment if there isn’t one I want to use in the set or washi tape. The Full Bloom kit is a nice vibrant collection. Hope you are creating some arty crafty alchemy of your own, see you all next time.
