New Dividers and Dashboard

I couldn't resist a girly new set-up for my fluoro, so (under close supervision of Pixie) made the most of the sunshine and had a crafty day.

As you can see Pixie was very dedicated to the task, choosing to nap instead on my work planner.

I used this paper stack which I picked up in TK Maxx. The paper is lovely and thick, more like card so I'm going to risk not laminating for the time being.

I love the quote on the dashboard and the graffiti style decoration. It just had to be the first thing to see when you open my planner.

The dividers are fun and pretty, they made me feel a little nostalgic to be perfectly honest.

The pink and green ones are my favourite, but it was really hard to choose just six papers from the stack as they were all so cute!

I hope you like them, thanks for stopping by! 

Setting up my butterfly

I've been itching to set this pretty little number up since I got my grubby mitts on it. The only problem was I wanted the perfect papers to do so. I finally found some this weekend, so she's finally ready, I can scarcely contain my excitement! 

These pretty dividers were made with some paper I picked up in TK Maxx this weekend. 

As I can't resist anything pink and girly I bought some pink weekly pages and helped a good cause too. Filofax make these every year to raise funds for Breast Cancer.

I also added some pretty lined paper I picked up from Paperchase. It has bunting along the top which I thought was very sweet.

I kept the original dashboard though as I thought it was very pretty. 

I also added a cheerful journalling card which matches my mood at the moment as I've been doing lots of long term goal planning and thinking about the future.

I'm so happy to now be using this beautiful planner. I can't wait to start decorating my pages.

Monthly Dividers

I do love making dividers and will find any excuse to make new ones, so this week I've been making monthly dividers for my planner. 

I'm absolutely in love with these as they carry on my princess theme, although you'll notice that some of the tabs are a touch uneven, I need a bit more practice there.

On the whole I'm really pleased with the way they turned out though. I used a princess paper stack I bought through Amazon, which was just the right size for making A5 dividers without the pictures overpowering the dividers.

There was a greater variety of princesses than the previous paper stack I used and because the paper was double sided I was able to create contrasting tabs.

You can't really tell from the pictures but lots of the paper was glittery and it gives a lovely sparkle to the paper.

I loved that the paper even included Pocahontas as she (and Belle) was a favourite growing up. One or two of the dividers writing on them too which looks lovely.

I keep opening my planner to look at them, though you'll notice in my excitement I forgot to write the months on them before I laminated... Whoops! It hasn't stopped me enjoying them though.

Beautiful Butterflies

I received something that made me really smile in the post today, something I really wanted. Yep, that's right, a new filofax. It's so pretty I was more than happy to part with my hard earned cash for it.

After I bought my personal size I really genuinely hadn't intended getting anymore. My current set up works so well for me. 

When I decided to add a personal to my set up, I couldn't get this one anywhere. No one seemed to have it in stock; I had given up. I couldn't believe my luck when it came back in on Amazon and even though I have a lovely planner, I would have regretted not getting it.

I love it's beautiful cover, the butterflies are so dainty and the colours can't help but make me feel happy as I dream of spring. I was in love instantly! 

Upon opening this beauty I was charmed by the colour and the pretty dashboard already included, although I do intend to laminate it.

It comes loaded with all the standard inserts although I can't wait to put my own stamp on the content.

I'm really eager to move into this beauty but I'm trying to hold out until spring as this planner has such a lovely spring vibe then just swap between them depending on the seasons.

Personal Size Dividers

After I finished the dashboard for my personal size, I got straight on with dividers to match. They're from the same paper as my A5 dividers but in a slightly different order. 

I'm really pleased with them, I think my favourite might be the one on the bottom right. It's got Sebastian from The Little Mermaid on it.

I love how pretty these are and the pink interior of my Filofax complements them really well in my opinion.

I've really enjoyed making these, but I think I might do something other than Disney for my next set, although saying that, I've already started planning my winter set up. Nothing like being organised! 

More Dividers

As always I've been enjoying some craft time this weekend, making dividers for my tweed and some cute paperclips. The dividers match my dashboard and add to the girly feel of my planner. 

I still had a little difficulty with the laminator, although these came out better than the Roald Dahl ones. My favourite one is the green one. 

They look fab in my planner too. I think these might be my favourite thing in my planner yet.

I also took some time to make some pretty paperclips this weekend with some flowers I got from the pound shop. 

I really liked the colours in the selection, they're really pretty and they look really sweet in my personal size too. 

And here's a wider selection of my newly decorated paperclips:

Week Six

February has come around quicker than I thought; we're already on week six! I've decorated two lots of pages this week, one for my tweed and one my floral burst. I opted for different themes in each planner.

My tweed has an under the sea theme using my paperchase sticky notes and a variety of blue tape.

I couldn't resist adding a little fishy paperclips to complete the week. These came from the poundshop.

My Floral Burst, however has a pink girly week complete with flowers. It was a little bit of a shock to the system as I'm used to a much larger planning space but I think my page looks ok nevertheless. 

I even added one of the cheeky flower paperclips I made this weekend. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out, they work really well with this planner. 

Dashboard

Feeling a little bit crafty tonight I've made a pretty new dashboard for my tweed. It's not anything special but I'm pleased with it anyway. 

Ta da! 

I bought some girly princess scrapbook paper before Christmas then used the original dashboard that came with the planner as a template. I then laminated and hole punched it and voila! A lovely girly front page for my planner. 

It was far easier than I anticipated so I'll be attempting some dividers next!
