The August Retro Chic kit is pretty amazing! I love the colors and was so inspired to get my personal size planner ready for the week – here’s how I did it.
This kit has everything you need to decorate your planner and I do mean everything!
The first thing I did was lay down some washi tape because the colors are beautiful and muted – I like my planner to look pretty clean with plenty of room to write and this skinny washi is perfect. Then I added an adorable sloth sticker to the top of the page. It looks like it’s just hanging out and it brings a smile to my face. Next the typewriter sticker and the telephone go down. There are so many cute stickers and I want to use them all! There’s even a cassette tape – do you remember those? I use the icon stickers (my new favorite thing) to note days when those tasks have to happen, like chores or errands. For a finishing touch, I added a little motivational sticker to the top of the second page. Stay curious – life will never be boring.
I have a magnet page marker to use in my planner which came in the kit and I love it! A retro typewriter which matches the stickers! The last thing I did was laminate the typewriter page marker which is lined. It will be handy to use on the go for lists and I can reuse it since it’s laminated.
I have stickers left over to use in my Erin Condren planner which I’m can’t wait to do. This week in my personal size planner is so cute I’m excited to use it!

]]>It's Anita, one of the newest Happie Scrappie Design team members. I used the June anniversary jubilee kit to decorate my Erin Condren Life Planner. I receive the A5 kit and I knew the checklist stickers would be perfect! I was inspired to build my layout around them – here we go!
I chose three pretty and festive washi tapes from my stash to go along with the fun theme for this month’s kit. I started by laying the tape at the top and bottom of the page. I knew I wouldn’t be using the bottom for lists this week so I took advantage of the extra space and made it pretty.
Next, I used the icon stickers to mark reminders where I needed them throughout the week. I used the adorable checklist full box stickers in the boxes at the top of the page where I needed them and the cotton candy mini checklist stickers in the middle rows when I knew I’d have mid-day to-dos.
There are some super cute functional word stickers included in the kit. I used some to mark my planning session and on the side bar layered over the banner to make the to-do list pop a little bit more. I layered another sticker over some washi tape so it wouldn’t float over the smaller check list sticker. I love the party hot dog, it’s so adorable!
I finished my spread off by adding a party panda to the page and securing it with the lovely balloon pin clip that was included in the kit. The festive mood of this kit is so cute and fun!
I’ve got a set of sticky notes ready to go if I need them; I’m ready for the week!
