Planning with my Bee Crafty Polymer Stamps

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty Stamps

This week I have been getting ahead with my 'Filofax - Planning' and I have decorated this week's pages and my May monthly spread using some of my favourite Bee Crafty polymer stamps

Bee Crafty Products used:

BEAUtanicals - Branches - polymer stamp set

BEAUtanicals - Tall Elder - polymer stamp

WORDage - Dream - polymer stamp

WORDage - Beautiful Things - polymer stamp

Inspired by Da Vinci - Script - polymer stamp

I really love to use my non-planner crafty stash in my planners as it helps me to expand on what I have brought for my planning, but also as I love to use my planner for memory keeping as well as planning my day to day stuff

I chose colours of stamping ink to complement the mushroom coloured leather of my current planner (I have a big colletion to choose from each month) 

I decided to use the same stamps for my weekly layouts in May as I used for my Monthly spread.

I stamped using versamagic chalky ink's in the following colours

Wheat: for the script stamp

Sage: for the larger branch stamp from the set

Sahara Sand: for the Tall Elder stamp (I just used the top part)

Jumbo Java: for all the Wordage stamps

I stamped them around the edges and over the notes section to leave the main pages blank for filling in the details of my week

I used the same stamps and colours for the my Monthly spread

I really like how the colours work with my chosen planner for May

'Look Beyond the Imperfections' - Planner Dashboard - with Bee Crafty Stamps

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty Stamps

I have been using my Planner a lot lately and decided to make a New Dashboard (Front focal laminated page) as my Design Team make this week

My Planner is Sea Green and most of my inserts and decorations are various pinks and greens so this gave me the colour scheme for my Dashboard

I chose a pretty rose coloured backing paper which already had some pretty details on which I then trimmed to the size of a Planner Insert. I then stamped some extra details using some Bee Crafty stamps and brown archival ink the stamps I chose were...

Backdrop Borders - Dandies

Backdrop Borders - Flower Distressed Border

Yuletide - Holly Swirl

I stamped 'Fashionette - Rosie' onto white smooth cardstock and coloured her using my fave alcohol markers - I then fussy cut her and attched her to the backing paper using strong glue

Next I Stamped my chosen Sentiment 'Wordage - Being Happy' onto the top corner of the backing paper. I love this Sentiment as it is very inspiring

I laminated the finished Dashboard, punched the planner holes using a personal size punch and rounded the corners to finish

DT Kerrie - Planning with my Bee Crafty Stamps

Happy Monday and welcome to my Post for Bee Crafty

Wowser its been such a busy week with my 4 kiddies starting back at school today, all the uniform sorting and finishing up projects - nice to be back to routine but I miss them all - its so quiet today - but that does mean more time to craft so its all good 

I have been using some of my Fave Bee Crafty Stamps in my Purple Planner this week, hense why my post is a bit late as I was finishing up filling in Sunday xx

The stamps I have used are... Beautanicals 'Dandelion', Beautanicals 'Branches', Wordage 'Value of a Moment' & Wordage 'Glad I Did It' 

I stamped them using Chalk Inks, going over some details using my coloured fine liner pens - some across the tops and bottoms of the pages and some as accents on the plan days - I love to add colour and doodles to my planner pages but stamps are by far my favourite planning tool and im always on the look out for more designs and sets to use 

I couldnt resist filling these pages up using my 3 fave colours, Teal, Pink & Purple 

I hope I have given you a few ideas for using your stamps in other crafts - decorating planners is all the rage across instagram, facebook and blogs Im addicted but I have always loved to plan&list daily 

Thank You so much for visiting today to see my post

Planning & Decoration - using Bee Crafty Stamps

Today I am sharing with you a few different ideas for using your Bee Crafty Stamps

I have a slight, oh ok I mean huge! Planner Addiction and I have been using various stamps to decorate them up - I also love to upcycle jars, tins, bottles and tubs are not safe in my house and I also sometimes buy jars/boxes of things purely because I want to use them in my Kraft Korner 

So here are a few examples of this week's planning and upcyling

Planner Pages, a Project Life Card and a Paperclip Jar all decorated using the following Bee Crafty stamps...

'Decision to Try' (Lg) - Wordage

'Cow Parsley' - Beautanicals

'Dandelion' - Beautanicals

'Holly Swirl' - Yuletide

'Dandies' - Backdrop Borders

These are the pages for next week in my planner (handbag size) - I have stamped across the top and bottom of the pages using the Beautanicals stamps and the Wordage sentiment

This Jar that I now keep my shaped paperclips in - was a sweetie jar from Christmas. I have wrapped a stamped piece of cardstock around the middle, tided ribbon around twice, I stamped and distressed a tag and attached using a glue gun - simple but pretty

This project life card was a little boring with just the quadrile background and coloured edges, so I randomly stamped round the edges using beautanical's stamps and the holly swirl then distressed the edges using distress inks

Thank you for visiting my Blog today - come back soon for more makes

Filofax Original in Lilac - mmmmmmmmm Review

Eeeeeeks today I am showing off my 'Brand New' Orginal A5 Filofax in Lilac - the official release date for these is 31st May - a few online store's are sending them out this week and I have been given the oportunity to review them - I also have the Personal Size which I love love love and I received her a few days ago :)

So this is my first ever Filofax Review - I will be expressing only my own opion's on the Planner I'm not affiliated by any company for Review Purposes.

This Beauty arrived today perfectly packaged in a cardboard wrap around carton which pretected her completely in the courier's van and the rings are perfectly aligned plus nice and tight. The smell of the gloriously thick leather hit me as soon as I opened the box mmmmmm and I know the smell will last as my other Orginal Filofaxes still have it too

Here she is in all her gorgeous Lilac glory - still in her Acetate Sleeve - this colour is so stunning and Im really happy that my camera has captured her true colour so mmmmmmmmmm

I really love the lilac against the black interior - you do get a lot of inserts which is really nice and is brilliant to get started straight away - another fave of mine about the orginal is the gorgeous Filofax debossed stamp on the inside cover - my fave of all the Filofax brand stamps ever

The diary insert's are for 2016, so I will be printing out some 2015 inserts from May but thats ok as I need to print out A5 monthly and daily inserts any way to be able to use her efficiently. I also will be making some pretty dividers, book marks and clips to colour match

This is the layout of the 2016 Diary - of course I know a lot of people prefer different styles but I quite like this layout for using larger stickers to decorate in the same format as Erin Condren or similar style layouts.

Well there isnt much more I can say about this gorgeous planner at the moment but I will be back soon with lots of pictures once she is set up and decorated how I like xx
