PLAN AHEAD!

Since I'm a full-fledged planner addict now, I'm always searching for planner inspiration.  I'm currently keeping 2 to 3 planners going.  But my eyes are especially on either a Kikki K or Erin Condren planner sometime in the future.  While thrift store hopping, I've found two Franklin Covey planners, a large and a medium one.  The large one I've already dedicated to serving as my spiritual journal, but I have not decided what to do with the smaller one.  Whenever I do go out thrift shopping, I now look for planners.  Many planner addicts buy stickers and other embellies00 to finish off their planners and give them that personal touch.  I'm grateful that I have my Cricut and Silhouette Cameo machines.  They have proved to be invaluable to me in creating my own embellishments.  I found some very valuable inspiration recently on my Instagram account, a thrifty way to print my own stickers.  Using Avery's white full sheet shipping labels, I can use my own printer to personalize my journals with my very own unique stickers.



















So instead of buying 100 sticker sheets online, I can run down to my local Walmart and pick up a pack or two of these.  They work beautifully.  Here are some samples of stickers that I have created:




















Here is how I use them in my planner:





















Now, if you happen to have one of these tools and you are a planner addict or you are thinking about jumping on  the planner wagon, put these tools to good use and create your own personalized stickers and PLAN ON!
