Bullet Journal Planner | September

September is right around the corner and I am so ready to get back into the swing of routine.  I'm starting by setting up my September layouts in my bujo (bullet journal) planner.  For most of August my blog and youtube have been pretty quiet, but there are loads of things coming this Fall, so I need to get busy creating, posting and editing so I can share it all with YOU!  Thanks for giving me grace this summer.

My monthly isn't decorated yet, but it will be.  In the meantime this is a functional start for me.  It is more important that I have space to keep track of all the events and appointments than it is to have a cute (cluttered) page.  :)


Washi tape is a bujo's friend.  It's such a quick and easy way to decorate your pages.  This weekly/daily combo layout seems to be working for me, so I'll keep it for September.


School bus yellow for my bills and such layout.  Isn't that school bus stamp cute?!!!

Trendy Triangles

Have you noticed the triangle trend going on right now?  You can see it home decor, advertising and all sorts of designs.  My creative friend and fellow dream team member, Kristie Goulet, did a trend's article about it for StampNation and this week we are using Triangles as our challenge.


I was inspired by this piece of artwork I found on  Pinterest.


With the help of my MISTI, I think I pretty much nailed it.  What do you think?  I've already been playing with some different colors using the same triangle design for a gift card set.

If you're a member and would like to see the challenge and what the rest of the design team came up with, clicky.  If your not a member, why not?  Only $9 a month gives you endless inspiration. www.thestampnation.com

Revised Video, Magnet Tip and Winners

The video I posted on the 17th for my "Remind A Sistah" card for the Calling All Sistahs blog hop had some serious sound issues.  Thankfully Noreen brought it to my attention.  I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I redid the sound, reloaded the video and it seems to be working now.  In case you missed it the first time, here it is again... only better!

Did you catch the magnet tip?  You can buy thin sheets of magnet that are die cuttable.  I got mine ages ago at a home improvement store, but I found some at Ellen Hutson that I will link below for you.
