August Planner Pages by Melanie

Welcome to day #5 of our new team introduction.  Today we feature Melanie Jarocki who was on our 2011 team.  Welcome back Melanie!  So excited to have you on the team!

Here's a bit about Melanie in her own words:

"Chocolate, papercrafting, brownies, games with the family, hot cocoa, and kids activities--these are few of my favorite things. Oh, did I mention I like chocolate? I live in the Cascade foothills will my adorably patient husband and handful of kiddos (literally, we have 5).  During the day, I am an elementary school PE teacher. At night, I cheer on my children in whatever activities they are involved in. For good measure, I also run a private piano studio. Never a dull (or quiet) moment in our home! I am so pleased to be joining the SRM Design Team again. Creating projects for my family and friends, and working alongside my kids crafting makes me happy. My style is clean and simple. I love pops of color and straight lines. SRM products are the best to add to any project. I can't even remember the last time I created something without an SRM item on it!"

Hello! Melanie here today and I am excited to be sharing some of my August Planner Pages with you. The new Planner stamp sets are fun to use. I started off with Birthday Plans -- because banners and stars are at the top of my favorites list :)

I used the pennant outline stamp on the Planner Banner stamp set to make a banner at the top of my monthly page. To add color to each pennant I used the ColorIn Le PlumeII markers. Then I added the cute heart stamp to every other one.

For the first week of August, I wrote in activities using a different color for each child. Hopefully that will help me keep things straight. The Marvy LePen Set was perfect for doing this!

Susan knows my kiddos are in lots of activities. I love that she sent me the Tiny Stickers Assorted Sports to add to my projects.

It is fun to add color and images to planner pages using the wide array of products SRM offers. My colorful pages make me smile each time I look at them :)

Enjoy your day!
