Decorate With Me - ECLP Week 18 (Apr 27 - May 3) | Three Day Weekend

Here is my layout for next week and I am so looking forward to a three day weekend with hubby! And as per usual I'm keeping it fairly simple cause for sure these pages will get busy as the days pass :) I used a few sweets stickers for the beginning of the week and some travel stickers on the days we'll be out. Page flags on the days I work and for a few reminders during our trip.

Let's Begin...

Happy watching and I hope this comes in useful:

Decorate With Me - ECLP Week 17 (April 20-26, 2015) | National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week + Bella's Birthday

I got a head start on next week's page decor. I made page flags using the banner cutter I bought at Hobby Lobby and pre printed some To-Do lists, Chores and Work; I measured and cut these to fit the boxes of the morning, day & night then used my Xyron to turn them into stickers. I placed them in the striped black and white mini gift bag. For the weekend I used these cute stickers I bought on Etsy the shop name is "sweetkawaiidesigns". The polaroid photo below of my dog Bella was printed from my Fujifilm Instax Share Printer.

Decorate With Me - ECLP Week 16 (April 13-19) | Anniversary Week

Hello there friends! Long time no post :) I've been away from my blog for a bit due to illness the last two weeks of March. Just needed some time to recuperate and recharge. Now I'm back with a weekly page decor I'd like to share with you. This is the week of April 13th through the 19th in which me and hubby are celebrating our wedding anniversary so I've embellished these pages with our special day in mind.  

Here are some photos I took of the aftermath ---

♥ What's in My Planner? - ECLP Monthly Pages Decor ::April 2015::

Hello friends! I'm still new to the planner community and so decor isn't really top notch yet. Since experimenting with different materials, styles and colors I've come to realize that having a theme or motif is key. 

Before decorating a page it is essential to put down notes on days, tentative or definite, that serves as reminders or tasks, events, birthdays, appointments ... etc.

When you have your materials and theme in mind you're ready to start decorating. I like to consider holidays or special occasions happening during the month, as you can see the last few days of March starts Holy Week so I used the cross washi to run from Monday through Thursday. I used silver/platinum stickers with Bible quotes and crosses for both Good Friday and Easter Sunday, unfortunately due to the lighting and camera flash it didn't come out obvious. 

And since it is Spring I wanted to dress the month of April in yummy pastel colors!
