Week Fifteen

I treated myself to some new washi tape this weekend so I've used that to decorate this week. 


I've used Cath Kidston tapes in my tweed this week which I've matched with some Easter stickers from Hobbycraft. This gives my planner a lovely spring vibe.


This little chick is my favourite, he's so sweet!


I used green ikea tape in my personal size to create a contrast between the pink pages. I then added some Paperchase stickers to add a floral effect. I like that the new pages have room for adding stickers, although I've now got to ensure I don't use anything that clashes with the paper.

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, I hope you have a good week'

Week Fourteen

It's been the kind of week you want to put in a box and wish it had never happened. It's not really appropriate for me to go into it, but I'm sorry for being late with this weeks post. Normal service (or wacky blathering depending on your perspective) will resume. 

I've tried to go for a spring-Easter theme this week, although I've put my Easter stickers in a safe place. So this week is a little plain but it works. 


I've gone for yellows and pinks with matching themes in both planners this week.


Because I've kept decorating minimal my A5 looks a bit blank, which is odd because this week actually feels quite busy! 


It looks much busier in my personal size, but I guess that's because of the smaller pages. 

I'm rocking eBay tapes again this week. I love those chickens on the pink tape! 

I hope wherever you are and whatever you're doing, you're having a good week!

Week Ten

This year seems to be flying by as we start upon week ten! I've gone for different themes in my planners this week. 

With my Tweed, I opted for a Minnie Mouse theme after some new stickers turned up. I kind of wish I had used pinks instead of reds as it appears a bit dark.


With Broadchurch ending my week feels pretty empty. I may have to wait for it to come out on DVD to fill the void!


I opted for floral and sparkly paperclips this week to compliment my page. I'm really enjoying using cabochons to personalise my paperclips and therefore my week.

My personal size however I opted for a sunny yellow spring time theme which is bright and cheerful: exactly what I need in my pocket whilst I wait for spring to arrive.


I opted for pretty yellow paperclips to match this week's pages, using flowers and sparkle to carry on that springtime feeling!

Week Nine

Week nine and almost March, how time flies when you're having fun. I've opted for a spring theme in both my planners again this week as there are now only 26 days until Spring and I'm getting impatient! 


Excuse the mess in the background, it's just the tapes and other supplies I used to decorate this week. I used bunnies and birds again as they add a lovely spring vibe, added with some stickers I picked up in Paperchase this weekend.


These are the paperclips I'm rocking in my A5 this week as I love the colours and think they compliment my colour scheme.


The scheme is pretty much the same in my personal this week although I opted for some slimmer tapes on complementing colours so I wouldn't lose too much of the page. I've used the same stickers as well, so I may need to go back for some more of these! 


I really love my green paperclip here, although it's a little heavy for my little planner. Again though I think it works well with the colours I've used and it's certainly put a smile on my face.

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.

Week Eight

I've been a little bit behind this week after a cheeky weekend away, but here's my week in both my Tweed and my Personal planners. 


I opted for a springy fresh look this week using pinks, blues and greens with lots of birds and bunnies.


I've been making paperclips again to compliment my week opting for blue and silver, alongside the green bunny. I'm pretty addicted to making paperclips at the moment... It's amazing I haven't managed to glue anything to myself yet! 


My personal size is springy too, although I had a bit of a trauma this week as I'd discovered my beloved lamy bleeds through the filofax pages so some of my decoration has been used to hide the unsightly blotches. Lesson learnt there.


I love these bird tabs which came from Amazon so I couldn't resist including them. How cute is that peacock? 


I went for white and green paperclips to carry on the spring vibe. I'm really happy with these but can't wait to get some coloured paperclips so I can make some more.
