There is a GORGEOUS new release from @rongrong_devoe_illustration and you will not want to miss this one! The highly anticipated Cat Book is available now, as well as my new favorite collar - Bookworm! Plus....new PET tape stickers! Be sure to head over and check out the new release, and if you shop use code "scrappy10" to save 10% on your order!⁠ These might quite possibly be the most gorgeous floral washi tapes that I have ever seen from @thewashitapeshop - seriously, I am pretty darn obsessed! Have you given these PET wide washi tapes a try before?!?⁠ Something you may or may not know about me is that macaroni & cheese is my absolute FAVORITE food. It's my go-to comfort food, so these Mac&cheese stickers from @lovepipsticks were PERFECT for my creative journal planner this week :). What's your favorite comfort food?⁠ Decorative planning is so much more than getting creative with stickers. It’s about expressing yourself, highlighting your fun activities, being inspired, and of course, keeping you organized. ⁠ I'm getting the urge to give some new crafty projects a try! Time to push out of my comfort zone and stretch my creativity. I am SO excited for the month of April over on Patreon because we are experimenting with "quirky" crafts, trying new things, and having a laugh about it all together. If you want to come join us for some crafty fun, you are more than welcome...I'd love to have you!⁠ What's the point of franken-planning? To me, it allows me to create a planner that truly works for all the different parts of my life. It is kind of like compartmentalizing, but also having everything at my finger tips all at once. It has been a game-changer for my planning, and I can't see that I will ever go back. Have you ever given Franken-planning a try? What are your favorite planners to combine?⁠ Functional & fun - yes, please! Loved working on two more custom spreads for my patrons, using so many different stickers and sticker companies. It's awesome when you are able to combine different elements to create a unique spread!⁠ Crafting makes me so happy, but so does organization 😍 Let’s let go and get messy in our art journals! Enjoy the process and feel the freedom. There is no perfection here.⁠
