This post will probably be very random and a bit image heavy, just to warn you ahead of time.
I'll start with the newest stuff I've been working on and make my way back. I've recently gotten into doing videos of various things but I don't know how to upload them here yet so that will have to be another post. Hopefully I can figure it out soon! When I'm not doing that, I'm trying to stay organized with my planner. I have so much I want to share here about planner stuff for other people who might be wandering aimlessly in the planner world. I feel like I have been searching for the 'perfect' system for me for the past few years and I think I may finally be getting close to having systems that work for me. I'll probably go more into this in another post, but for now let me share with you what I've been doing lately.
Daily inserts.
These things are pretty awesome. It's basically just your list of daily to do items on one page. I found this one over at themintgreenpolkadot website. If you haven't looked at daily inserts and would like to, there are tons of options out there. Some you can buy, some are free, and if you don't find any you like you can definitely make your own. I tried making my own awhile back and didn't like how they came out so I plan to keep working on that when I get time, but for now these have worked perfectly for me. I've only been using them a short time, about a week I guess, but they are really great for keeping up with daily tasks that need more room then what you get on a weekly spread. And if you like to decorate your pages this gives you so much more room and options for that. I don't usually have time to decorate very much but these are perfect for letting me be just creative enough every day. I have always preferred the weekly spread and the month on two pages layouts, but the current weekly spreads I have are just not my style. They're very generic and just don't suit me the way I like. I'm thinking that once I run out I might get a years supply from Cocoadaisy. I really love the look of theirs. They even have a free download if you want to try it!
I haven't had much time to draw digitally in the last couple of months so I really don't have much to share in that department right now I'm afraid. :/ Hopefully I will get some time soon to pull out my computer more often. :) I do have some random things from around my studio or of things I've bought/come across/started working on, in case anyone is curious to see some behind the scenes sort of things. ;)
I feel like I am constantly cleaning or organizing my studio. Usually both! These stickers have moved around quite a bit lately. I organized them from the overstuffed drawer they were in and moved them to this bright neon pink container I picked up at the Dollar General store. I am able to see them better so that I will actually use them now! I still have a long way to go as far as getting my stickers into a good organized system but I think this is definitely a step forward. ;)
I found these adorable markers at my local TJ Maxx. Aren't they cute? They're basically just (scented!) highlighters, but they were too cute to pass up.
I came across these old scrapbook/album books in one of my boxes. I'm pretty sure I've shared the Halloween one here before but just in case you're wondering if it still exists, it does! LoL! I just need to finish it!
I've decided to use these papers for my September Listers Gotta List challenge. I'm so behind on Augusts' lists, but I plan to try to hop back on the bandwagon this upcoming month. I love finishing one of these books and knowing that it's done.
These sticker paper sheets are from the Dollar Tree. I think I bought about six different types but these three seem to be my favorites.
I picked these up this weekend. I just can't seem to resist paint chip samples. They're so beautiful and full of colorful goodness!
These two pages are from my Smash books. The robot page I found in my large red smash book and the Think Happy page is from my daily smash journal (which I have also gotten behind in this past week). I think for 2016 I am going to do something completely different. I haven't quite decided yet but it definitely will not be in Smash books next year. LoL I love them but they are way too big for using them the way I have been.
And last but not least, my latest mixed media pages! :D I haven't had time to paint in ages but I plan to do a little painting as soon as possible. I absolutely love how these pages turned out. The colors just make me so happy and they make me want to be more creative. ;)
I hope you've enjoyed catching up with me today. Hopefully I will have more time to start posting regularly again, and actually get time to make things to post! Like I said, I'm hoping to figure out how to share my videos here as well, so that will hopefully be something I'll be able to share with you all soon. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed your stay! <3 p="">
