Goodmorning!
The
planner bug has hit the internet at the speed of light! planners,
filofaxes, midori travelers notebooks are all the rage, and there are
several communities thriving online today devoted to planning systems,
stickers, dividers and much much more! I myself, have been a planner
girl for many years since highschool actually when we were given our
student diaries to keep track of our homework and tasks. My student
diary was a work of art!
Now
many years later, with two kids an a husband later I am still a planner
geek! I have gone from student diaries, to ring bound binders
(filofaxes) and now I am a Midori Travelers Notebook girl. But all
planners aside this post is about creating DIY things to help you with
your planning needs.
Planner
stickers are booming currently, with etsy sellers from all around the
world creating amazing stickers, it can be easy to drop a bomb in a
blink of an eye! but I'm a mumma on a budget, so I like to try and use
things I have at my finger tips!
The
Mepxy Design Markers are vibrant and beautiful alcohol markers that are
a cheaper alternative to the the very expensive Copic Markers! They
have several ranges, but I am working with the design markers today!
At
my local supermarket they had packs of white adhesive labels on
clearance for a whopping 74 cents. I grabbed a handful and bought them
home. I got my Mepxy Design markers out and started colouring the labels
in! I halved the size of the label as my stamps are only small and I
didn't want to waste any! I then used my plan it stamp set from Studio
L2E and some Stazon Ink and stamped away! The colour combos and icons
are endless! You can make as many as you want!
I then kept the label the original size and grabbed another marker to
create these lovely little hydrate stickers for the days when I know I
need to make sure I'm getting enough water into my system!
Then
I moved onto tasks I needed to get done and wanted to draw a lot of
attention to. So I turned my attention to the transparent sticky notes
you can get at Daiso, I love these things but always have troubles
finding uses for them! Bring on the Bright RED Mepxy marker!
I made a big bright swatch with the Mepxy marker then grabbed my checklist stamp stamped it onto the transparent sticky film, give it a few seconds to dry (I touch it lightly to see if there is any transfer) then you've got a check list you can move about your planner, thats bold and in your face without bleeding through several planner pages! This is probably my most loved way to use the markers! its creative and yet useful!
Get your hands on the bright and wonderful Mexpy Markers for your planning DIY's!
Have fun in your planners!
