my ballerina pink faith planner setup

June 30, 2017

I wanted to share my new setup in my A5 Simple Stories Carpe Diem TRG Ballerina planner. My initial intention with setting up this planner was for it to work as my new faith planner. While I’m still hoping to use it to keep it for notes and journaling about my studies, I’m beginning to think I’m going to use it to track some other things as well. The inserts I’m using have a few goal setting/tracking pages in the beginning of each month that I would love to utilize, so I may add a few non-faith information in those sections as well.

The insets I’m using inserts are from Inkwell Press. I purchased their Quarterly Inserts, which are these A5 booklet inserts they have for each year. You get four books, each divided up into three months, so I ended up cutting July through December and punching them into my planner. I love the layout of this planner. I’ve never used Inkwell Press inserts before and I have to say, their layout is so neat and clean and the paper quality is amazing. They are dated, so I’m thinking of using January to June next year. I’ll just have to change the dates. Definitely check out my setup video below to get a better look at these inserts!

So I setup my faith planner mostly using bits from Dear Lizzy’s Polkadot Party collection. It is a very old line from 2013 that I’ve been hoarding. I was fortunate enough to find a few more pieces from the line a couple months ago that a shop was selling on clearance. This is probably my most favorite Dear Lizzy line ever. I thought the colors of the collection matched so well with the Ballerina pink, so I used the collection as a my base and pulled a few other pieces from my stash to create a kit to work from. Most of the papers are from Polkadot Party, but I also used a few papers from Maggie Holmes’ Gather, Dear Lizzy’s Lovely Day, one sheet from Dear Lizzy’s Saturday, one sheet from Crate Paper’s Cute Girl and one sheet from Simple Stories’ Posh collections.

I basically found things that matched the peachy-pink, mint, black & white, with a hint of yellow color scheme. I have been greatly inspired by Suse Fish and her Scrap Therapy books, so on a few pages, I did a few scrappy layouts with some photos I took that I thought would match well with my faith planner setup. I added a planner pocket page from Websters Pages in the front to act sort of like my dashboard. I printed out a few of my photos that I love that matched my color scheme perfectly. I just love adding a little personal touch to my planners. I used a few 2×2 cards from Heidi Swapp in the pockets as well.

Now, I filled my planner pockets with all sorts of pretty bits. Most are journaling cards from the Polkadot Party mini Project Life kit. But I also have some functional sticky notes, label stickers, and washi tapes on a card tucked in there as well. Then an assortment of cute fun paperclips that I have or made specifically for this planner. In the bigger pocket, I decorated with a few paper doilies. I also have some larger Project life cards tucked in there along with a few more sticky notes from The Planner Society.

I also made two pocket inserts out of scrapbook paper to hold a few more supplies. I wanted to keep everything I’m going to use to decorate this planner within the planner itself, so all I have to do it grab my planner and go. Everything I need to embellish will be there. So the first pocket is in the front of the planner. It’s a tiny pocket that holds bits of ephemera and die cut pieces from different lines. The bigger pocket I have in the back of my planner, which holds a bunch of The Reset Girl stickers, alphas and other bits from different places. Definitely check out the video below where I walk you through my entire faith planner setup!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
