New tool review

Hello ya’ll - today I wanted to share this cool new tool that I purchased from Michaels.com 

First of all my why? For buying this tool:

So for Christmas my hubbs bought me a new planner for the new year and I love the happy planner and have had several but the one he bought was the Large memory keeping planner which meant that the normal happy planner stickers I already own didn’t fit the new larger squares. 

If it sounds like I’m complaining - I’m not promise...I love this planner because it serves as a monthly scrapbook!!! 

And truthfully I have been making do with what I have. 

But when michaels had a sale online I decided to take the plunge and I bought this punch and the smaller one for the original happy planner 

So this time I had used the punch to punch paper to fill up the squares 

It’s super easy to use 

Just insert the paper into the punch - no lining up necessary just push through and push down 

And look how cute - fits the squares in the larger planner so easily and I love it. I have seen some planner folks who add stickers and paper to each square which is a lot, just my personal opinion. This is after I punched and adhered the paper squares in a clean layout.

This is the completed layout for this week. Cute right?


If you use light colored papers they are easily written on. And then I just used the “regular” happy planner stickers to add some accents to different areas and even drew on a couple of squares but left plenty of space to write in and left spots to add more in later. 

Review=my thoughts 

Is it worth the money (24.95 minus 30% w/coupon) YES

Is it easy to use: YES 

Is it necessary: YES I think so, unless they come out with a whole new line of stickers that fit and if I choose to buy more then yes, it’s nice to be able to customize my planner with papers and photos that fit the squares 

Details-forgot to mention that it can punch through pictures too which is perfect for my scrapbooking purposes.

I give this tool two thumbs up and totally worth the money!

Happy Crafting ya’ll! 

PS-I think you can only purchase these online right now...not sold in stores. 

Crafty Girl ideas for Planners

Hey there - have you gotten on the PLANNER rage - it’s basically a new creative way to keep a calendar and not the wall hanging kind. 

I personally have 3 or 5 going at one time. One to jot my crap in and serve as a reminder, one to decorate and share on social media, and one that is an actual wall calendar type for the family to see and a few others for back up (wink wink) 

Be warned it is so addicting and here see so so so many cool supplies in stores and even more online. I girl could go broke buying all the variations of goodies to add to your planner!!! 

The next couple of posts I will be sharing some super cheap but super cute planner supplies that won’t break the bank and if you get super good you can make some, package them and give hem to your fellow planner friends. 

Let’s get started - I spent 2 dollars on these supplies from the dollar tree and some gifted extra large paper clips plus I used felt I had on hand and my glue gun.

It’s pretty simple really just take off the rosette from the paper hanger and remove the pop dot and add some glue 



Then add a small cut out of felt to cover up the ugly! 

 Finish off the other rosettes the same way and you can even add some smaller clips to make more of a variation and really could these be any cuter? 

 And in case your wondering how they look in a planner - they look fabulous!!! 

Wouldn’t these make a fun gift or even a hostess gift at your next craft party. Let me know if you try it out!

Happy crafting
