Clique Kits Agenda 2015 Starter Edition Kit

Clique Kits Agenda Kit

The planner addict in me is in full effect! 

The Clique Kits Agenda Kit is a great way for new and veteran planner addicts to get into this huge craze and basically get in the routine of organizing your life. I remember when I first started with crafting that I was super overwhelmed with all the supplies you need to purchase and wish at the time there were kits to make my collection grow.  Now, there's kits for scrapbooking, pocket scrapbooking (Project Life) and low and behold a kit for your PLANNER! Yes, I did say a whole kit for your planning needs. Pre-made kits make everything so much easier- takes the guess work out of matching this with that. 

I am so happy to introduce to you the Clique Kits Agenda Kit! I instantly fell in love and was ready to plan and create.  You will see in my video below that kit is jam packed with a lot of embellishments and tools that you can use over and over again-   from bright colored pens, a to-do note pad and other planner must-haves.  One thing that I found unique was the motivational printable quotes that you get with your agenda kit.  I am always on Pinterest looking for free printables to use for my daily layouts to make them more fun and unique.  

Here are some pictures of what you receive in your Clique Kits Agenda Kit.  YES! All of that fit in the bag... Amazing right? What's my favorite item? It would have to be the Maggie Holmes Open Book Clips (super cute and I can totally see myself using these over and over again). 

 I packed the video with a little review on the kit, along with a set-up for the monthly layout (which comes as a printable doc with your kit) and a weekly layout that matches.  View it below and take a peek at some detailed pictures as well. 

The matching weekly layout incorporates the bright colors featured in some of the products.  I was inspired by the bright Sakura Pens.  I love stamps and just recently experimented with layering two different colors for an ombre effect.  The inks from the Colorbox Cat's Eye Fiesta Ink Set complemented the kit very well. 

Products used for the layout : 

 

View the kit on the Clique Kits website here for subscribers and here for non-subscribers. The value of the kit is amazing! Remember you get so much product that you can use over and over again. 

Thank you to Clique Kits for letting me play with the Agenda Kit! Stay tuned for next week for another layout using the same products! It's a different layout than what I usually do... if you ever wanted to try the Erin Condren Life Planners then keep an eye for next week's layout :)

MOTD: Dark and Mysterious

MOTD NYX

While I was organizing my blog the other day I realized that I havn't been posting any MOTD's recently.  Sorry for all you that anticipate to see details of my daily MOTD's on Instagram.  

This look was a favorite especially for the dark dreary fall days- especially popular for a simple Halloween look to go with any costume. I wanted to use some products that were inexpensive and easy to find.  NYX Cosmetics is my go-to brand for inexpensive but good quality cosmetics.  I am a big fan of their lip products especially the Matte Lip Creams and Matte Lipsticks, oh and the Lip Butters! I guess I'm a fan of all their stuff.  

Here are the details on the products I used to create this look:                                                   (I forgot what I used for the blush, so sorry on my part!)

Filofax: How I Decorate Wk. 46

Filofax weekly layout

I really love this week's weekly 2 page spread layout for my planner.  I wanted to create something fun, trendy and girly this week especially when I received brand new stamps from Studio L2E.  

I wanted to start filming the way I decorate my pages since I have been getting a lot of requests from Instagram.  People think that I buy the pages already decorated but after much explaining how the products I use and how I go about the process they realize that it's all made by me.  It's so much fun spending a Sunday afternoon (while watching football) to decorate my weekly pages and plan the rest of my week.  I feel organized and ready to tackle the work week and see what I have planned for the weekend.  To be serious though, I think I just like looking at all my supplies- brings me so much happiness. :) 

Since this would be the first time I would film me doing a layout on camera I wanted to create something that everyone could do with a few supplies.  I understand not everyone can go out and buy new stuff every week so I always try to find materials that are accessible to everyone.  For this layout I used a majority of supplies from the Target DollarSpot Section, which I am in love with! You can find cute little pens, notepads, stickers, cards, stamps and stickers in these bins.  However, finding these items can be a little tricky.  In order for me to find some of the items my fellow #planneraddicts posted on Instagram I had to visit 3 different Targets at different times during the week.  At times, I found lots others not so lucky.  

The layout is super easy to do and didn't take that much time to put together.  It's also a fun layout for any time of the year.   The Washi Tape circle stickers add a little touch of sass!  Take a look at the video and view some of the detailed pictures of this week's layout. 

Now lets go over the supplies that I used for the layout.  But first I wanted to show you the Studio L2E Stamps.  The two on the right are Plan It and List It Stamp Sets (the two that I always use for my layouts.  The new one is the Happy Notes Stamp Set which looks like little post it notes, washi tape borders, and a few words (notes, to do, today, to buy).  Super excited about this new set- it will certainly be one of my favs. 

Here are the rest of the supplies.  Hover each picture for a brief description and the direct link to purchase the product.

Filofax weekly page Bright Nov

Happy November! Can you believe next month will already be December? This year is coming to an end so fast! Today I bring you this weeks Filofax planning pages with a "Bright November" theme.  I wanted something cheery and playful since it's getting dark earlier now.  

I wanted to start filming the way I decorate my pages since I have been getting a lot of requests from Instagram.  People think that I buy the pages already decorated but after much explaining how the products I use and how I go about the process they realize that it's all made by me.  It's so much fun spending a Sunday afternoon (while watching football) to decorate my weekly pages and plan the rest of my week.  I feel organized and ready to tackle the work week and see what I have planned for the weekend.  To be serious though, I think I just like looking at all my supplies- brings me so much happiness. :) 

With all the inquiries that I get when I posts my layouts I decided to go ahead and film the creative process.  Starting next week you will be able to watch how I go about designing each layout.  Can't wait for this- it will be fun!
