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.

Hello everybody!  It’s Jennifer again, and this week I’m going to show you how I made a cute Halloween card with PopFizzPaper stickers!

To make this card, I used: 

• Black cardstock
• Popfizzpaper DY10 - You-color-it Halloween Costume Stickers
• Popfizzpaper WK23 - Halloween Friends Kit (just the deco sheet)
• Photo
• Washi
• Silver Sharpie
• Favorite coloring pencils or markers (I used Tombow Dual-Brush Markers and a clear Zig Wink of Stella glitter pen)

Have you seen these coloring Halloween Costume stickers?  They are too cute!  They are designed to be used either by themselves, or you can dress it up with a photo of your favorite someone!  I already had some photos of my daughter printed on sticker paper, so I went through what I had to find one that looked good with the witch outfit stickers.  Once I decided on the photo, I fussy-cut my daughter’s head and part of her neck. 

Next, I worked on the background of my card.  I wanted the witch stickers to pop, so I added some glitter pumpkin washi from my stash and drew a simple cobweb and spider with a silver sharpie.  I chose my favorite quote from the Halloween Friends deco sheet. 

I found it easier to color my witch costume on the sticker sheet before I applied the sticker to the card.  I used Tombow Dual Brush Markers, but any of your favorite coloring mediums will do fine!  Now it’s time to add my little witch baby!  Here’s what I did to make sure I had the head I cut out earlier placed perfectly.  You’re going to want to layer the costume sticker just slightly over the photo sticker, but at the same time I also wanted to make sure that the costume sticker was layered over part of the washi.  What I did was take the costume sticker of the witch dress and placed the bottom half of it down where I thought it should go, but I did not press the top part of the dress to the paper.  Next, I removed the sticker paper backing on the photo and lined up the top part of the costume where I wanted it, then I finished putting down the stickers.  Then I topped it off with the witch hat!  So cuuuute!

For some finishing touches, I added a bat and a spider from the Halloween Friends deco sheet.  What a cute and easy Halloween card!  PopFizzPaper has some adorably spooky Halloween stickers for your planner and card making!  How are you getting ready for Halloween?  I’d love to see!  Please tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or post to the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group!

Tell me I am not the only person out there that uses an actual wireless optical mouse for my computer instead of the built in mouse pad attached to the computer? I guess I’m old school because my little Logitech optical mouse is my favorite because I just don’t like the flat built in mouse pads that come on the computers. Plus, there are so many cute mouse pads out there that just add cuteness to your desk area.

So why am I talking about computer mouse pads? Well today, I am going to show you a really quick DIY mousepad using some items from the October PopFizzPaper Planner Kit. How quick you may be wondering? Like 5 minutes’ tops! Let’s jump right into this DIY project and make a cute mouse pad for our desk.

Supplies you will need:

• 1- Cork board or cork tile [you can also just use a piece of wood, thick cardboard or thick cardstock]
• 1-2 sheets of design paper
• 1-2 sheets of a clear pocket protectors
• 1 foam brush
• Mod Podge
• Pen or marker
• Paper cutter or a pair of scissors

Intentionally my goal was to make a cute heart-shaped mouse pad however I went to 4 different stores and couldn’t find a large cork sheet I only found actual framed cork boards. Finally, I decided to check one last store, Office Depot. They did have the large sheet I was looking for but they had these cute, squared cork wall tiles that were 6” x 6” my first thought in my mind was “this size is perfect!” I have a small desk so realistically I couldn’t have a large mouse pad anyways. I grabbed the 4-pack of 6”x 6” cork wall tiles for $5.99 and I figured I could either make wall décor or make 3 other different mouse pads that I could swap out throughout the year with the extra 3 tiles.

Ok, I rambled enough … first thing you are going to do is decide the shape of the mousepad that you want. If you have a large sheet [of cork] then cut out the shape you want. I took my pre-cut, ready-to-go cork tile and placed it onto my design paper and just traced that way the paper will be the same size as the tile. Then grab your clear sheet… you can go out and find a thicker, clear plastic sheet to go onto of your design paper so that it glides over the mousepad better OR you can a clear binder protector sheet. You know the pocket sleeves that most of us use to store our stickers in in mini binders; those work just fine and they are inexpensive. Put the tile onto the sleeve and trace also.

Next grab your paper cutter or scissors and cut the lines that you traced with the pen on both the design paper and pocket protector sleeve. Don’t worry if there is excess on the sides because after you glue everything together you’ll be cutting all excess off anyways.



Take your foam brush and add some mod podge onto it and put it all over the top of the cork tile. Place the design paper right on top of the cork and smooth out any bubbles or bumps.

Add a thin layer of mod podge on top of the design paper and place the pocket sleeve on top. Smooth out any imperfections and place something heavy on top of the mouse pad until everything dries.
*This is optional: but I added the exclusive PopFizzPaper Beauty Babe washi along the sides of the tile so I didn’t see any cork and honestly this black and white stripes washi looks so cute paired with the Beauty Babe rose design paper I chose to use. LOVE!

So that is it! Told you this would be quick! Now, grab your mousepad put your mouse on top and start using. You just made a cute DIY mousepad that cost you less than $5-$10 to make [depending on how much supplies you already had]. So how many of you students and planner girls are going to try this fun DIY?
