December is still the month of Bullet Journal for me, and I am loving it! I have encountered one small issue with how I bullet journal, scheduling a task. What I'm talking about is if on Monday I have "tidy lounge" but in classic Brooklynne format I put way too much in my day so it doesn't get done. Well I work all day Tuesday and Wednesday, so I need to put it in on Thursday, right? Unfortunately I have no idea where Thursday will be, so I have been using post its, which are great, cause I can just keep moving them. Downside is I have to keep moving them.

The more you move a sticky note the more it loses it's stick. Shame I don't have a dashboard like in my Large Kikki K. HEY! I could make a dashboard for my bullet Journal!

So away I went! I gathered my supplies:

• PFP Crystal Cave Papers
• PFP Crystal Cave Washi
• PFP Crystal Cave Sticky Notes
• PFP Crystal Cave December Kit leftovers
• 8.5" by 5"  piece of card
• Glue/tape runner
• Corner Rounder

Optional:

• Matte Medium OR Laminator

The first thing I did was choose which paper I wanted (this was actually easier than you think as I have 4 sets of this paper pack) I love the giant crystal cluster so knew I had to use it. Now if you have a laminator, you can be a bit slack with the gluing down things. I don't have a laminator so I'm using matte medium to really bond the papers together. 

Pro tip: use an old gift card to "squeegee" out any air bubbles and really push that clue into the pores of the paper. Be firm but gentle as you don't want to tear the paper. Then wait, OR if you you are impatient like me grab your hair blow dryer and slam that paper with hot heat!

Once dry, I trimmed down the edges of the paper and any overhang. Since I folded over the paper I knew one long side was perfect, but I was worried about the other side, so I folded some washi over it to make sure it wouldn't peel up.

If you want a tab you can cut one in where ever you want. I did one in the middle of the top. Then it was corner rounding time. My Crop - A  - Dile, is still a new tool so I use it way too much! 

You could stop here, but when have I ever left things simple? I wanted to make sections on one side for categorizing tasks to be scheduled, so I used three PFP sticky notes cut down and positioned them how I liked. I again rounded the bottom left corner of the bottom one to look less jarring.

I stuck that whole lot down with Mat Medium, if you are laminating yours you could just use a tape runner. 

Lastly I added a few stickers I had left over from the December monthly kit, so that I have three sections that read "Important", "Finances", and "To Do". All that was left was to put a spare quote sticker on the reverse side (if you are laminating it do so now) and put my page flags on it. Memo to self get blue page flags ;-) .

I think I might have to make another using the Colors of the Wind Papers! I hope you enjoyed this and please share if you made your own. I'd love to see the dashboards you made with this tutorial, tag me @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper or share over at out Facebook group PopFizzPaper Fans.

Hey there PopFizzPaper Fanatics! If you follow me over at Instagram or on my Youtube Channel you'll know that in December I'm trialing the Bullet Journal system. It was going lovely then I received my Merry Harry kit in the mail. What was I to do I loved this kit, and I needed to use it! I toyed with just doing a weekly in my Happy Planner but that's likely to get ignored, then it hit me like a ton of very obvious bricks! Use the stickers to create a Bullet Journal weekly spread!

So I gathered my supplies up and got down to work! So instead of taking a thousand photos of the Process of drawing out my spread I have a Video linked Below so Check that out. 

First though here's a close up of the spread pre-pen! I really love this lay out even though I learned to measure better next time. That Always sticker made me choke up, I miss you Snape :-( . 

And here's the final situation all ready for my week. The Video Below shows the Process from blank page to this point right here! 

Did you get the Merry Harry Kit or you Bullet Journal?  Tag me @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper I'd love to see it!

I don't know about you, but My monthly spreads usually are neglected when it comes to the whole decorating thing is concerned. I just jot down dates and leave it be. The new PopFizzPaper month kits have changed that though! 

I thought I would show you how I plan ahead, with my January spread. I know what you are thinking. January, Brooklynne it's only November? Well I like to have my months planned in advance so that everything that goes into the planner will go well with it.

Instead of taking a million photos and talking about stuff you all already know, I thought I would do a video instead! So please scroll down to watch my plan with me.

That's my planner all set up for January, I hope you like it and I would love to see how you use the new monthly sticker sets. Tag us on Instagram eith @popfizzpaper or @brooklynne_michelle. Have an excellent day!

So I am currently in the process of updating and modifying my personal website for my Tarot business and I thought "I bet the blog would love to see how I project plan"! So here is the way I project plan for big projects, my set up for specifically the readings I'm hoping to offer.  I use stickers and washi to keep me involved and interested as planning is not my strong suit. 

I cannot stop with these rainbow basics sheets. They are always my go to for things like this, you could equally grab the pastel or the neutral, if that's your fancy. As for paper I'm just using the standard Kikki K. paper that comes in the Personal Planner. 

I started out with using the page flag half boxes as each reading's header. They are perfect for this or even important information you absolutely cannot forget.

Next I skipped a few lines so I could write about the feel I was hoping to capture and such. Here I placed a normal header to mark out to do's for each reading type.

Every to do list needs checklist flags, I literally could not live without these. Underneath that I just had to use the glitter headers for a notes section so I could jot down important notes or note down what pages I need to look at in certain books. 

I only needed one last thing on this page and that was to use these little dollar sign icons to make a section for pricing ideas. It took me only a few minutes to do this page, but it will make doing this drudgery task so much more fun. 

I did this for several more pages so I could just sit down when I have a moment and write down what I needed to achieve for each reading before I launch my new business and website. 

I hope this was useful and helpful to anyone trying to plan a project. If you use any of PopFizzPaper's stickers in project planning, I'd love to see. Tag me on Instagram @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper .

Hey PopFizz Fanatics, today I'm showing you a recent Project Life spread I did using the Colors of the Wind kit. I have been so slack with doing project life lately but really wanted to get this big moment recorded. So I started with pulling out all the supplies needed.

• Colors of The Wind Papers
• Washi
• Tombow tape runner
• Colors of the Wind sticky notes
• Colors of the Wind diecut feathers
• Canon Selphy Printer
• Various Ephemera 

First thing to do was print off my photos, I knew from a journal lay out I wanted the main picture to be tight crop of me so I needed to print out the photo full size and cut it down, so I printed one picture 3X4 and the other 4X6. Afte rthat I needed to choose a layout type and trim down the papers.

I went with what is probably my favorite layout, the 2 3X4 over one 4X6 spread. I was really enjoying the oranges and the contrast with the purples and greens in this kit so chose papers that played with that.

Now onto my first card. I wanted to start with that nice big orange watercolor card. I knew I wanted the front facing photo there but wasn't sure what else to do there, then I remembered these cute silver glitter instax style frames I got from Freckled Fawn, the rest kind of just flowed from there. The gold foil washi from the kit was just perfect for this. Also the feather die cuts really pulled the whole look together. 

Next was the top right card, the water colour with white feather outline. This was for my other photo and I just really kinda smashed things on it. This black and white striped washi was key to this page, helping pick up the referee motif in the pictures. These gold foil puffy hearts came in a previous PFP kit and I use them way more than I ever thought I would. I really like how this card looks. 

Now for the final card, the one for the journaling. I knew when I started out with this Project Life spread that all the cards were busy. That's why I got out the sticky notes, they made a simple and perfect journaling spot that fit so well into the cards. I then dug through my big box of alpha stickers and pulled together these two for the title. After a few touches of gold and some journaling it was done. 

Now to put them all together in the pockets of the lay out. Now you'll notice some changes to each of the cards. This always happens. I'm looking at the spread and noticing things like that the bottom card is completely devoid of green so a few puffy stickers and it feels more balanced. I found this phrase sticker for the top card which I liked and added a bit more white which I felt was needed. and finally I remembered the little feather charm which was a perfect addition to the bottom of the journal card. 

Thank you for joining me on this spread, and I hope you enjoyed it. Do you do project life? how have you used PFP stuff in your spreads? Tag me in your posts on Instagram @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper ! Also join us all on our facebook group PopFizzPaper Fans.

Today I bring you a different kind of Plan With Me. Originally I thought I'd just show you how I use various PopFizzPaper standard rainbow stickers to pull together a planner spread when I don't have a kit, but as I sat down a different Idea came to me. What if I some how turned my Happy Planner into an hourly layout. Could it work? I decided I would try!

First I pulled together all Rainbow colourway stickers I had ( I swear I have others but I have no idea where they have wandered off to) and got to work. The first thing I did was cover up the notes sidebar. I usually use the bottom stickers from our kit to do this but instead used a cool rainbow washi I have. I carefully matched up the lines as best I could and worried about the rest for later. 

Next was to set up the top header section. These new rainbow glitter header strips were just the thing I needed. I thought long and hard about what I would do, and settled on a colour a day.  everyday except Saturday and Sunday got a glitter header. I used one of our weekend banners which also come in the rainbow colourway to mark off Saturday and Sunday. Next were the individual days.

This is where I started to regret this "brilliant" idea I had. First thing I realised was that I didn't have enough headers in each colour for the times I needed. Luckily the sheet of pastel headers stepped up to bat and saved the day. So I alternated the rainbow colour for the day with the pastel version. This worked for everyday except Tuesday which was orange cause we don't have a pastel orange header so I used pink again for that day. Each day took a total of 14 headers. I finished off with another glitter header to leave space for not timed items like bills and chores. 

With all the stickers laid down, I put times down and stuck my very old work schedule header stickers over the time space in which I start. With that done I started putting down bill due stickers, and used rainbow puppy paws with skinny appointment labels for my dog's food. I love these rainbow TV trackers too which remind me I need to watch the new episodes of shows. The great thing about each day being a colour was that I ran out of space on Thursday so I could put them under Friday and know they belong to Thursday.

Last I had this full checkbox sitting around from a previous kit so I chucked that and a few adult rewards stickers in the sidebar for a bit of fun. I might fill the sidebar with rewards this week. I'm pretty satisfied with how it all came out. I'm not sure I will ever do it again but it was a neat idea.

I hope this was useful to someone and if you decide to do this for yourself tell me how it works out on Instagram @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper. You can also share your layouts at the PopFizzPaper Facebook group. 

As a few of you may know I'm a trained Makeup Artist and work freelance directly with clients. You also probably know I'm obsessed with my traveler's notebooks. I'm currently in the pretty Lyra and Co one but I also have leather Foxy Fix. I'm starting to hit spring down here, and thus my busy wedding season coming up. One thing that was clear to me was I needed an notebook dedicated to meeting with my clients. So I gathered up supplies from the stunning Beauty Babe kit.

Soon as I saw this kit I knew I needed to do something for my Makeup work. Its palette is soft and gentle for my clients but not so soft as to feel unlike me. My first thing was to cover the kraft brown cover.

This X's and O's paper was just the perfect choice. It was not too busy yet had a fun design, it would also look good to my mostly bridal clients. I wanted to add some visual interest so I added the cutoff strip flipped to show the blush rose pattern along the top third of the cover. Next all I needed was one of the sticky notes which made a great title plate. I had one set of the gold glitter X and O stickers from the decorative sheet of the kit and they finished the cover. 

Now for the insides I started with the first page. Using the left over bottom washi from the kit I cut it into a large page flag and added another decorative sticker. Real simple. This is the perfect page for me to jot down products that clients have specifically requested. This way it's easy for me to flip to and find what I need to order. 

Next was to work on the Index page. I started with some bottom decoration, several layered strips of paper in a neat design to draw your attention. Then my favourite sticker in the entire set, simple yet perfect statement. 

That done I wanted to highlight the very top left page with the word Index. Using two washi strips from the left overs of a kit leaving a space in the center for my title added some visual interest. I just had, HAD, to use this washi. So that completed the page. 

All I had left to do now was put it in my Traveler's Notebook and head off to meet with clients. How are you using your papers? Feel free to tag either @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper on Instagram  to show me, or pop over to our facebook group and join the fun. 

If you follow me on Instagram then you probably know that I have been on the hunt for a good solid travel planner. I recently started using the DIYfish inserts for a Traveler's Notebook and I'm really happy with them, they are the perfect combination of Weekly and Daily format.

One of my favourite things about these inserts is that I can easily decorate the week to match my Happy Planner spread. As you can see here I used the lush and stunning Beauty Babe kit which I just looooooove. This was a great kit to use as it came with so many extra stickers!

The first thing I do is decorate the weekly overview page and the notes sections to jazz the whole thing up. Each week I use this section differently, I jot down notes from phone calls or meetings, todo lists, mood tracking, etc. I love that these habit trackers work soooo well for my dog's meals for the week, this way when I'm out of the house I can tell my flatmate what to feed him.

I love the way these pages came out, and they feel so happy and friendly! They are ready to document my week! 

I decided to show you just the Saturday as it has both the weekly look and what I do for marking the weekend. I use the same washi that I used in my planner along the sides of the pages, using my paper trimmer to remove any excess. Next I cover the bottom line with a thin washi, luckily I have this thin gold washi that matches the one from the kit. If I don't have a matching thin washi I just use a paper trimmer to trim the washi down to size.

Lastly for a normal weekday I add a today sticker and cover up the check boxes with some great check flags. Simple, fun but productive. The weekend scriptbanners look amazing and fit perfectly under the chronodex. I only mark Saturday, but you could use on on Sunday too!!!

So that's how it all goes together, simple really! Do you use and DIYfish Traveler's Notebook inserts? I'd love to see how, tage me on instagram @brooklynne_michelle

Hello everyone I have a fun little project here for you of how I decorate the month overview page in my Happy Planner. I feel like with the Happy Planner I have finally found planner peace, and it's disc bound. I love how easy it is to add things to it and how quick it is to expand the ring size (for a crazy period I had Dec 2015 - Dec 2017 in one planner)! But my favourite thing is the month overview pages, where I can record birthdays, important dates and a snapshot of what is happening in my life overall!

The only thing is I find them a bit boring at times and not always the look I want. Especially in September as it is my Birthday Month! Also it's a bit Pink for me, so I pulled out my Tombow water soluble crayons and painted over the currently section in blues and greens to match the gemstone papers I'm going to use.

After that was done I ran some of the glitter washi from the add on kit along the left side edge for some pzazz. Not the washi was a bit wider than I wanted so I just trimmed it roughly down the middle with my paper trimmer. The top calendar section I find redundant and the dark blue was a bit much so I covered it up with a strip of the large white gem outline paper which I just loooooooove!

One thing I knew was that the sticky notes from the September kit would look GORGEOUS in place of the standard birthday box and Important dates lines. The sticky notes were about half an inch too wide so I carefully trimmed off a quarter of an inch from both sides and the required amount from the bottom each of which were different. Using my favourite Tombow mono permanent tape runner I secured both stickey notes in place. 

Next to tidy it up some I used the other piece of glitter washi to separate the two halves and ground those sticky notes. Doesn't it just sparkle so heavenly! Finally my absolute favourite gem washi along the bottom to hide the American holidays that don't apply to me. I love how simple and stunning this washi is. 

Now I just need a few final touches to finish the look off, like holographic stickers. Creative Team member Jennifer got me the Me And My Big Ideas, Holographic sticker sheet for my birthday and I love it so two quote stickers were the first things to go down and then from there I use these tiny Holographic stars in the top left corner of each section .

It didn't really feel finished and then I remembered the glitter enamel stars from April kit! Something was bothering me about the top left of the page and in general the left side of the banner. It needed something. Out cam my 2 inch circle punch and the blue on blue gem pattern paper, ct that sucker in half an BAM on she went. I'm not sure why that was needed but it was. 

All I need to do now is fill it out! I was easily able to do the birthdays and important dates. When it cam to the Currently section, there were a few things I knew I could put down easily but the rest will have to be filled out as the month happens. If you are a Happy Planner do you decorate these pages? If so I would love to see how feel free to tag me @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper ! 

Lately I have started to have a bit more of a busy day than usual with a few new courses, and my Roller Derby training kicking into higher gear. My life is a madhouse and unfortunately some important things are starting to slip my mind. So on top of my weekly Planning I have thought about starting to use daily pages ie. a Day Designer. Luckily for me before I lay out any major money on a Day Designer they have pages that I can download easily for free.

So armed with those I've been keeping more on track of my to do's and working in all the important things for the day. Now I am one of those planners who have to decorate their planner in order to even look at it. So I've been thinking about how I can decorate the Day Designer pages with what I have. Then it struck me, I could use the left over weekly kits I have (which are many) to decorate daily pages.

My first step is Laying down all the washi strips including framing washi along the top and bottom. The left over washi strip I have left over from doing my sidebar in my Happy Planner fit perfectly in the Daily Gratitude space. If they are easy to write over I like filling the top four boxes with Washi too. This covers up the printed headers but that's fine I plan on covering them up anyway. Now on to the Headers and Stickers.

I replace the most of the headers with headers from the kit, especially the "today" and "to do" sections. I also like to add a "to clean" header sectioning off the last four line (three check boxes) where I can add what is on my cleaning schedule this week. Next I like to use icon stickers anywhere that I have something significant, like when my alarm goes off, when training starts, and what I plan on watching to unwind in the evening (I'm working my way through the Gilmore Girls in order to be prepared for the reunion show). I don't really need the notes section so I use a check list and film icon. 

Last thing to do is fill in all the info on what I'm hoping to achieve and what I have scheduled. I put a dot at the end of a task that has been carried over from the day before and two dots if it was the day before that. Almost always two dot items get moved to the Top Three section. I decided to use the former notes section to tick off the course subjects I wanted to complete "today". All I have to do now is start ticking off things that need to be done. 

I'm enjoying the Daily page, I just wish that it had a night owl version ;-) Do any of you use Daily pages How do you decorate them?
