Roundup of Recent Planner Spreads

Published on September 21, 2019September 19, 2019 by Jen Manis

I’m so sorry, I’ve been a bad blogger recently!! I found myself more busy than usual, and the blog took the hit this time. I hope to make up for it by sharing a roundup of the recent planner spreads I’ve created. I have been using all sorts of different planners and layouts to see what I connect with right now… and it’s not been a successful experiment! I feel like I fell off the planner wagon when I left my Mini HP in August, and I’m working on getting things back in line, because this is the busiest time of the year, and I really need my planner to keep me in line!

I’m also sorry the photo quality is all over the place. I’ve been experimenting with my big camera vs. my phone and filters… and you can tell! Stick with me, I have to get it together soon! 🙂

Happy Planner Weekly Spread | July 23-29

Published on July 21, 2018July 16, 2018 by Jen Manis

Hello! I’m so excited to share my weekly spread in my Classic Size Glam Girl Happy Planner today! This week’s layout is a mashup of the Simply Gilded washi collab with The Planner Sophisticate, some Planner Society stickers, and a few Mambi stickers as well.

I love how this turned out! It’s pink, gray, and girly!I love this washi!! I thought the TPS stickers (from the December 2017 kit) were the perfect complement.I didn’t even realize the words on this washi were a reference to Harry Potter, but I love what they say. 💁🏻 #notapotterheadI can’t get enough of the Mambi Colorful Boxes sticker book. I may have to pick another one up when Michaels has another sale.Another one of my birds is having a birthday next week! Moe is the baby of the family. 🙂These purple discs are heaven!Well, I’m still undecided about how to keep Glam Girl going through the rest of the year. I am toying with the idea of dropping my Recollections hourly, and converting Glam Girl for this purpose. We’ll see what happens!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Planner Weekly Spread | July 9-15

Published on July 7, 2018July 1, 2018 by Jen Manis

Hello! It’s been waaaay too hot here, but summer goes by so quickly, I’m trying to enjoy it while it’s here!

I wanted to share my new weekly spread today, so here we go!

I bought some new washi at Hobby Lobby recently, so I built my spread around it. I love the eyelashes (of course), but the washi at the bottom of my pages looks like leopard print sunglasses, so I added the leopard element in a lot here.Any chance I get to use my Glam Girl rose gold stickers, I do!Thanks for stopping by today!

Mid-Year Planner Lineup

Published on July 2, 2018July 1, 2018 by Jen Manis

Hello! It’s July… so you know what that means! New planners! Well, I actually only have one new planner in this lineup, but I am shaking up my planner system a little, just to keep things fresh.

Here’s my #plannerstack…My first & favorite planner (shh! don’t tell the others!), the Classic Glam Girl Happy Planner. She’s my everything planner. I decorate, memory plan, and finish each day with this planner. If no other planners existed, this one would be the only one I need for the year.

But, of course, I enjoy other planners, so, here’s the next one in my lineup. This is the Classic Trendsetter Happy Planner I use for blog & social media planning. I still am loving this planner. I am constantly updating how I use this planner to make it most productive for me. I still dig the quilted hard cover too.

This is the newest planner to my collection. I bought the new Recollections Hourly Planner, which I have used since last summer, but I love this edition even more. This planner is not imperative for my daily planning, but I enjoy recording my days & seeing how I spent my time, so it stays in the lineup. I have also been decorating it more, which makes me happy! I added my favorite Erin Condren cover to it. I just love looking at it.

I re-purposed my Classic Daydreamer Happy Planner to become my faith planner. I really, really like using the horizontal layout for this purpose. The vertical faith planner I had been using kind of cramped my journaling style. I used to use this as a memory planner with photos of each week, but I found a new home for that idea (keep reading…). I love the Daydreamer planner for all things related to faith. It’s bright & happy and I want to open this planner every day and journal.

Finally, this is my beloved Mini Happy Planner. I retired her for a little, but she’s so cute, I had to find a purpose for her! Using her as a weekly memory keeper is perfect. The photos from my Sprocket printer will fit great in here, and serve as a cute record of each week of the rest of the year. The Daydreamer planner was just too big for how I wanted to make it work, so my Mini returns! I also recently bought her a slick black hard cover too, and it looks great with the pink metal discs!

Alright, is that enough planners to keep up with? Lol. It doesn’t overwhelm me though. I love all these planners and the purpose they serve in my everyday and weekly life. I’m not afraid to change it up if it stops working for me.

Thanks for stopping by today, and what does your mid-year lineup look like?
