winter december planner setup | hip kit club

December 9, 2016

img_1102dt

I’m here with a winter planner setup for December using my Hip Kits! I dug into my November kits for this one and oh my am I loving all the colors and cute winter elements! I used a mixture of things from the Main Kit, Embellishment Kit and even my December Documented kit to set up my December pages. I began with covering up my December Carpe Diem divider with that beautiful tree paper from Crate Paper’s Snow & Cocoa line that you can find in the Main kit. I absolutely love all the colors of this kit and pretty much kept to the light mint blues, pinks and white of that tree paper throughout my entire setup.

I worked on the divider first. After covering my divider with that paper, I played around with a few pieces from the Snow & Cocoa cut apart paper also in the Main kit. I ended up using that black and white Winter Wonderland piece as my focal point. I layered it on top of one of those mint snowflake pieces from the Snow & Cocoa ephemera pack and place the snowman puffy sticker from the HKC exclusive sticker sheet on top. I kept this divider really simple because that paper was just so lively. I added one of those phrase stickers from the HKC exclusive sticker sheets from the Embellishment kit and another puffy sticker, this one of a pink snowflake. Lastly, I wrote out “DEC” with the sliver glitter thickers that came in the Embellishment kit.

After working on my divider, I went onto decorate my monthly spread. I pulled out two papers from the Main kit, Rosy Cheeks and Cosy, both from the Snow & Cocoa line. I used Rosy Cheeks to cover the border on the top of each insert and Cosy to cover up the sidebar. Since all of the thickers that came in these kits were far too thick for my liking–I didn’t want to bulk up my planner using them–I decided to used the exclusive  flat puffy alpha stickers from the October Hip Kits to write out “December” on the top. The pink color is a bit more on the warm side compared to the pinks of the November kits, but it wasn’t too warm that it didn’t match. It actually matches quite good and I tried using the sides of the papers that had a bit of that peachy pink color on it, so that it balanced the alphas out.

I then went to work embellishing the corner of my monthly spread with a few banners that I cut out of the Snow & Cocoa cut apart sheet. The paper is called Hot Cocoa and it’s from the Main kit. I used the black and white banner with the triangles and snowflakes on it and layered the yellow snowflake banner on top of it. I also made my own horizontal banner from the branding strip of the Cosy paper, layering one of those word phrase stickers on top of it.

Next, I numbered my spread. I used some Simple Stories alphas from my stash and only numbered the days in which I have something due. After I had everything numbered, I began embellishing. I used that tree strip from the Hot Cocoa cut apart sheet to cover up the boxes on the top leading up to the first of December. I had to trim it down to size, but I love how it turned out! I then cut up a bunch of square pieces from the three papers I’ve used on this project to fill some of the calendar boxes. I scattered them about the page, making sure to balance out each pattern. On the bottom right, I placed a piece from the Snow & Cocoa ephemera pack and embellished with a few puffy star stickers from the Pinkfresh Studio Oh Joy! puffy sticker sheet from the December Documented kit. I embellished the boxes I covered with paper with bits from the HKC exclusive die cuts and puffy stickers as well.

Be sure to check out my process video below to get a better look at how my December pages came together!

I also made two really cute bookmarks using the kits for my planner. One is a Today page marker and the other is a corner bookmark that you can use in your planners, but also in notebooks or a book you’re currently reading. I used papers from the Main Kit and embellishments from the Main, Embellishment and December Documented kits. Most is from the Crate Paper Snow & Cocoa line.

The first is a “Today” page marker. I chose a paper that I liked and trimmed it down to fit into my A5 planner. You can trim a strip to fit any size planner or notebook of your choosing though. Once I had the bookmark shaped piece that I wanted, I went ahead and laminated it and then trimmed the excess lamination around the paper. I then embellished it with pieces from the kits. I used the silver glitter thickers from the Embellishment kit to write out the word TODAY on the top. I used two sets of letters for the front and back, as I was very fortunate that the word TODAY is perfectly symmetrical. After I placed and glued down my embellishments, I punched my holes and cut slits into them and slipped my page marker into my planner!

For the second marker, I did a bit of simple origami. I cut a strip of my chosen paper and folded it into a triangle shape, trimming off the excess. I then traced the shape onto a piece of the same pattern paper and cut out that triangle, which I then glued to the back of the folded triangle. This created a little triangle hat, so that you can tuck it over a page corner. I then went ahead and embellished it.

These are really simple projects to add something cute into your planners. Be sure to watch the process video below to get the step by step of how I made these!

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
