Creative planning has been a passion of mine since 2018, a hobby that allowed me to combine productivity with creativity in a way that brought true joy to my daily life. In 2022, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the Happy Planner Squad, an experience that fueled my love for the planner community and deepened my connection to a craft I was already head over heels for.
But as I explored the world of planners more deeply, something became clear: I wasn’t finding the layouts I needed in the sizes I wanted. I found myself tweaking and altering my planners to make them work for me, which eventually led to frustration. And as a self-proclaimed “paper snob,” I found myself longing for higher-quality paper in my planners. I believe that if you’re using something every day, it should feel good, from the layout to the texture of the paper.
That’s when I had a lightbulb moment: what if the perfect planner didn’t exist because I hadn’t built it yet?
That idea sparked the beginning of my own planner product line. Instead of continuing my search for the “perfect” planner, I decided to create it. I began designing planner inserts that were simple, sleek, and high-quality, available in multiple sizes so people could decorate and organize them to their heart’s content. It was all about giving people the freedom to build their dream planner without having to invest in an entirely new one every few months.
Over the past year, I’ve been expanding my product range, slowly but surely. From multiple layout options to specialty inserts and accessories, my goal has been to offer customization and flexibility. Each piece is designed to work with your existing planner system, making it easy to update your planner without a full replacement each release. This approach allows you to curate your planners according to your unique needs, while still enjoying that fresh, personalized touch every time you open your pages.
Of course, I still have big dreams for the future! There are plenty of products on my wishlist that I can’t wait to bring to life, and the support I’ve received from the amazing planner community has been the driving force behind every step I’ve taken. This journey is just beginning, and I’m so excited to continue creating alongside all of you.
Keep it creative,
Elisa, The Scrappy Wife
