I could also see them being used for gift wrapping embellishments!  It's a good thing I made a few sets of them, because I might have to keep one for my own gift giving this year.

For my project today, I chose to share my planner layout for this week.  This planner is the Brushed Cool Pool Days A5 Planner.  I love the color and that there is plenty of room to jot down what I have scheduled and to also decorate the pages.



When I sit down on Sunday to plan my week and decorate my planner, I usually decide on a theme.  This week I wanted to use some of my brand new Simply Gold Journey washi tape and add a bit of fall into the mix.  Then I started pulling all my goodies out, and came up with the colors I wanted to use, Gold, Pool Play and Tangerine Fusion, isn't that a fun combo?!!

See those cute little triangles that I used for bullet points?  Washi tape!! and I colored them in with our Fun Stampers Journey Just Write Gel pens, which are to die for.  I just had to add the little tab so that I could use another new goodie- the Foiled Frames.  Yummy, right???

I hope my layout gives you some ideas on how to decorate your planner!

Boo Treat Box

Hello Creative Friends.

Today I am sharing a quick project for Halloween treat giving!  I love to give treats to friends and people I run into during the day. 

To create this box, I used a pillow box from Etsy, some Black Licorice ribbon and then I die cut a cute tag and the other shapes.  I told you it was fast and easy!!!  I used my Black Licorice ink pad to ink up the edges on the tag and Boo.  I also pulled out my dauber dowel to create the spider web effect on the background of the tag.  I used the edge of the dauber dowel to "draw" the spider web.  Add some Journey Glaze and Sparkle Dust and it's ready to go!!

Dies:  Snapshot Frames Die Set, Everyday Tags Die Set 

Cardstock:  River Stone Pillow Box, Pretty Amethyst
