October Planner Pages by Shantaie

I am a planner. True story. 

I am not organized by nature and work quite hard work to keep track of my daily and weekly tasks...well I don't work hard anymore because planners keep me on track and more productive than I ever thought I was possible of. 

I used to keep a "to do list" with lines and line of things to do {more busy work than actual productivity} There are tons of planners, and articles on how to use planners, I have read more than my share of them,  but......I have a secret to confess. I have not made my planners fun or used my creative supplies before now!!! { I know!!!!} 

How is it possible that a long time paper crafter like me has resisted this awesome creative outlet? Fear. I was kind of intimidated by the idea of pairing my super structured planner with fun and art. {trembles in her chair}

This is my very first attempt, and although I could have reworked it to be perfect for this assignment, I chose to show you how easy it is, and even though I'm not a pro page planner designer just yet, I'm still super happy with it!!!

I am totally committed to using my SRM planner stamps every week, and I can't wait to share my pages with you in the future!!!!! 

Planner stamps, SRM stickers, and LePlume markers made my page quick, fun, and useful.  Here's a list of the SRM stickers and stamps I used:

Graduation Party by Shantaie

Hi, and welcome back to SRM, I'm Shantaie signing in with a gold and glamorous graduation party!

My niece is graduating in a few weeks, she wants her event to be memorable, and unique!  The best part of being a paper crafter is being able to customize premade items, like these cards I picked up at the dollar spot in Target. A few little details and a sheet of SRM thank you stickers I can make a dozen thank you cards for her to send after the party! 

Need fast easy cards? just add the Thank you sentiment, and they are ready to go!

No party is a party without a cake or cupcakes! These cupcake toppers are quick because I picked up the pleated circles as part of a banner package, there were 8 for 3.00 and all I did was add a gold banner, and the SRM round sticker by the dozen take 2 graduation stickers and a stick to insert into the cupcake. These literally took 15 minutes total! 

Super sweet right?

Invitations are the "headliner" to any party, and as we are doing a casual glamorous party, these simple but elegant cards are perfection! I love the fun 2016 sticker under the gold embossed graduation cap, a quick peel and stick and they are ready to go!

What could be more easy? You are going to love these SRM invitation inserts, all the info you need is ready to fill in. Quick and simple!

I used the chevron embossed glassine treat bags and filled them with chocolates of gold and lavender that match the party. They are folded closed, and topped with a doily and layers of ribbon and paper flags, and sealed with a clothespin. A luxurious gold tassel is adorned with a 2016 sticker tag, and the flag to the left is sporting a sticker sentiment from the graduation stickers by the dozen take 2.  

All the elements to get a party started, right here. SRM has stickers, treat containers, and all the happy additions you need to make a party both easy and gorgeous!

April Planner Pages by Juliana

Hello SRM friends! It's Juliana, and today I'm sharing my April planner pages with you.

I used the Year of Memories 2016 stickers to add the year and the birthday banner stickers from the Calendar Companion to mark the 88th birthday of my mother in law!

For a fun pop of yellow and some Hello Sunshine to welcome in the spring time weather, I used the We've Got Your Border Bright stickers. 

I also used some of the new SRM Planner Icon Stickers. This is such a great set because of all the little planner words and fun icon images! 

So what are your favorite SRM Stickers to use in your planner?  Here are the ones I used on my April pages.

Thanks for stopping by today!

HUGS!

2016 Planner/Date Book by Shannon

Welcome back to Shannon Morgan.  She's an artist and a crafter and a lover of all things SRM.  And she's definitely a SRM All Star!  

Now let's hear from Shannon in her own words. 

******

Hello!  Shannon joining you today with a date book creation.  Living in the moment, I am not one to look far ahead in the future. I am a procrastinator by nature and I have been known to stay up in the wee hours of the morning to pack for a trip or moving. 

Imagine my delight as I created a sweet little mini album and/or date book for 2016…

Here's the cover, you'll find a doily tucked beneath the layers, some twine, some sticker stitches and a brightly colored 2016 tab.

I used some BRAND, SPANKING NEW SRM Year of Memories Sticker/2016, plus Sticker Stitches (of course), doilies, twine and punched pieces.

Open the pages of this album and you'll see sticker stitches and the months here and there. The focus on this album is "little things"..you can use it for remembering birthdays, dates, or mini month milestones. Click on each image to enlarge to see all the little details.

March and April are cheery and simple:

May and June have a touch of twine and summery zest!

Here's a peek at July and August:

Check out the September tab! Hello October!

 

November and December is very notable, ending the year in a sweet way. ♥

Here are a few of the SRM products that I used on my project!

Thank you for letting me share with you today!  Hope this inspires you to create a date book or planner for your new year!  What a great gift it would make for friends and family!
