I picked up this simple planner at Target for about $3 I think.
I bought some stickers too from Hobby Lobby. When I made my last purchase from Joss & Main (which I talked about here), my items came wrapped in some pretty gold and silver paper. Which I kept like a crazy packrat.
I cut out a piece of the gold paper and used a paper punch to punch out some stars.
I took the planner out of the plastic sleeve and cut some scrapbook paper (which I also used on my diy iphone case) to the size of my planner.
I glued on the numbers and stars and added a little piece of ribbon. I just used a little mod podge and glue. Then I just put my new cover back in the plastic sleeve with the planner.
And now I have a fun personalized planner! Makes me excited for the new year!
Do you still use a paper planner like me?
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteThat's so crafty! Great job! I have to have a paper planner as well, I can't stand using my phone or an online calendar to keep everything there!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!! I still keep one of those planners at work! Maybe I'll jazz it up too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I've tried the digital thing but I prefer to write it down too.
ReplyDeleteVery, cute Jackie! I like to carry a planner in my purse too! I love how you transformed it!
ReplyDeleteWell, call me old school too, because I HAVE to have my paper planner. I don't feel right without it.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. I have a planner as well. (: Have to, otherwise my life would go to pieces.

Hi Jackie, I feel the same too about many things. Despite the presence of technology, I still appreciate the old school of writing on a planner! You are very creative and let me say that your design for the planner is very artistic. You must have also collated many materials with your love for DIY :D
ReplyDeleteBTW, would you like us to be each other's follower? Take care :)
Love this I just got my planner at Target too.
