Hi everyone! This is my last blog for PopFizzPaper for the 2016 year and I am going to show you a Plan With Me using the PopFizzPaper Charming Horizontal kit for this last week of December in my Erin Condren vertical.

I kind of wished I did a video because it would have made this Plan With Me a little more easier and fun but you all are going to get a detailed description of how my process works. Yes, it'll be a little long but it's a great read; I promise. Everyone plans differently and I noticed my first steps are always the same every week that I plan even if in my mind I want to try a different process. What you're going to need is all your planning supplies; I am going to be using the Charming kit stickers from PopFizzPaper, an exacto knife, and some glitter washi tape from the PopFizzPaper shop.

I always start with my washi whether I am using washi tape or bottom washi stickers that come in the kits. Since I am using a horizontal kit I decided not to cut that bottom washi that comes in the kit instead I wanted to use these blue and gold glitter washi tapes that I got from the PopFizzPaper shop. After I placed down my bottom washi, I grab my exacto knife and trimmed the corners of the washi so that it's even with the weekly boxes above it. I added my "Today" headers to the top boxes. Next, I like to do my side bar. This section varies from week-to-week depending on what's going on. I start the side bar by adding a deco full box sticker to the top left corner of that left page to cover up the "Thankful Thoughts" box. 98% of the time I do not cover the Erin Condren flag that comes on the page because it usually matches the kit I use and I just think it's cute so I let it be. This week I added my "To Go", "Next Week", and "Habits" headers with a weekly checklist full box or weekly strip with a couple of habit icons next to it so that way I know what I'm tracking for the week in this case it'll be workouts and cooked meals.

After my side bar is done I fill in the week... I start with Monday and work my way to the weekend. I always fold my planner in half when I do the first half of my week because I flip the planner in many directions when I place stickers down because certain angles help me place down my stickers more evenly and precise. Personally, if I didn't do this some stickers would come out crooked.

Starting with Monday my "Today" section is for any bills due or for important things that have to for sure get done while my "To Do" section is for things I "want" to get done that if I don't I can just do it the next day. First section, I added two small flags with an icon, and a bill due sticker. Middle section I added a "To Do" header with a flagged half box with an icon, a blank pastel green header, a deco full box, and another flagged half box. Tuesday- I added a "Not Today" sticker [usually if one of these stickers appears it means I want a lazy day], a flagged half box with an icon, a blank pastel green header below that, a deco full box, a "To Do" header, and a PFP CT blog full box checklist. Wednesday- looks busy especially since Tuesday has that "lazy day" sticker on it. I added from top to bottom a "Payday" sticker, two full box checklists, a blank pastel green header, and a deco full box with a flagged half box ontop of that. First half of the week stickers are DONE!

Now onto the second half of the week. I add my glitter washi tapes to the bottom and trimmed the sides with my exacto knife. Placed "Today" headers at the top boxes of Thursday and Friday only. I like to add a weekend banner to the top of Saturday and Sunday boxes instead of "Today" headers. Since this kit is again a horizontal kit the weekend banner in the kit is vertical so instead I used a glitter "Weekend" banner from PopFizzPaper. I added yellow pastel blank headers to the top of the weekend boxes and placed my "Weekend" banner on top of them. Next, I flipped my planner on the side because it's easier for me to place down my checklists more precisely. I used two mini checklist flags and I separated the two with a thin deco washi strip because I plan to use one section for cleaning to do's and the other for calls I need to make.

Then I continued filling in the rest of my end of the week. Middle box of Thursday I added a "To Do" header, a full box checklist, a PFP CT half box checklist, a deco washi strip, and a half checklist box with a TV icon because those bottom checklists are for shows I plan to watch or catch up on. Friday, I placed down two checklist full boxes and separeted them with a "To Do" header. I also placed a "Friyay" banner sticker right below my "Today" header. I added my PFP CT half box checklist, a deco full box, and a half checklist with a TV icon for my shows. Saturday starts with a deco washi strip, a CT reminder, a "To Do" header, left some white space in case something important comes up, a flagged half box with a paw print icon, a blank pastel green header, another flagged half box with an icon, and lastly a half box checklist for TV shows. It's New Year's Eve nothing too exciting is planned as of right now other than celebrating the new year probably at home with my little family and some fun noise makers and decorations but this plan could change! Lastly, is Sunday; the 1st of 2017! Can you believe we are going into the year 2017!? It's so crazy. Okay, so again it's the first which means bills are due! So as you can see I have "Bill Due" stickers, a "To Do" header, a flagged sticker with a dollar sign icon, a deco full box, a blank pastel green header, left some white space for extra planning, and a flagged half box with a football sticker because the Packers play in the evening.

Everything is placed down for this week and my final touches are to add some decorative stickers from the kit onto the bottom washi and to the top of the week above the dates as well as any other little PopFizzPaper stickers from my collection that need to remind me of something for the week. I decided since this week the Erin Condren colors matched this kit I didn't add any date covers just some small decorative heart sticker to the top for extra cuteness. I also like to add above the dates some icons of the most important things happening for that day whether it's a bill due, a birthday, happy mail, dollar signs to remind me to pays bills, etc. I need the extra reminding some times in case laziness kicks in.

Last but not least is to grab a pen to fill in the details of what's going on. I went ahead and penned in my plans for the week and as you can see not everything is completely filled in because I'll fill more in when that particular day comes.

I hope I was detailed enough in this "readable" Plan With Me for you to try out my planning process.

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 everyone!  It’s Jennifer here, and today I’d like to share two cute holiday gift tags I made with Popfizzpaper stickers and digital papers!  These are quick and easy tags you can make in minutes and they’ll make your gifts look extra special.

 For the sticker tags, I used silver glitter half boxes and added an elf on the shelf sticker.  Doesn’t glitter make everything better?  Popfizzpaper now has silver and gold half box stickers in two different styles: with and without flags.  I’m using the boxes without the flags for this project.  I love using these as gift labels because the glitter makes them really festive, but they’re not so girly that you couldn’t use them on a boy’s present too!

For the paper tags, I used one of the Merry Harry digital papers.  I made the tags double sided, so for the back I simply printed the paper straight on the reverse side of my card stock.  I cut out the tag shapes in Silhouette Studio and it was super easy!

If you don’t have a Silhouette or similar cutting tool, you can easily get this same look by printing the Merry Harry paper on both sides of a piece of cardstock and use a punch from the local craft store to make tags or trace a tag you already have.  Add a square of complementary solid card stock for your text area, and voila!

To finish the tags, I simply threaded some green and white baker’s twine through the hole, and they’re ready to make your gifts sparkle!

How do you like to turn your gift-wrapping game up a notch?  I’d love to see!  Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or share your ideas in our Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!  Happy Planning!

Today's blog I am going to be showing you all a "mini" plan with me in my Mini Happy Planner using LEFT OVER stickers ONLY!

I love buying kits but it depends on the design for me because I always end up with left overs. PopFizzPaper's Nordic Winter Kit is one of those kits that I absolutely LOVE and I ended up doing a no-white space spread in my Erin Condren middle of November and I told myself with this kit I am going to use this kit again by using the left overs sheets! So that's what I am going to do...

All you need is your planner, leftover sheets from any kit [again I'm using PopFizzPaper's Nordic Winter], and a pen.

Since this mini happy planner is undated I am going to be using date covers and numbers from my monthly Nordic Winter kit to date my week. I also added my payday and day off flags to the week. This quote is one of my favorites "It's not much but it's home" and it's so fitting for this week because this weekend we will be traveling back to my hometown for a birthday party and to celebrate Christmas early with my family there.

Next I just went ahead and put down stickers throughout the week for what I already know is happening for that particular day. Little checklists, half boxes, headers, flags, icons and a few deco stickers.

As you can see I still have a lot of stickers left to use for another spread or combine these with other left overs from other kits. And, I did not grab any other stickers from my collection I just used the left over sheets from this kit. Lastly, I'm just going to grab my pen(s) that I want to use and I'm using my two favorites; Papermate Flair in black for my main pen and the Pilot Precise V5 RT to write smaller on the appointment labels and flags.

That's it! I really liked the way this came out and I'm so proud of myself for using these left overs sheets. Try it out! Grab those already used PopFizzPaper kits and do a spread using ONLY stickers from that kit. If you do make sure to tag @PopFizzPaper on Instagram and come share with us PFP fans on the PopFizzPaper Fans! Facebook group!

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!

Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer here, and today I’d like to share how I used Popfizzpaper stickers in my notes pages of my Erin Condren Life Planner to help me get organized for the Holidays!  Have you seen the 2016 Winter Bucket List Charity sticker sheets?!  They are so adorable and 100% of sales go directly to Toys for Tots!  When I saw these stickers, I knew the larger ones would be perfect for organizing and memory keeping this holiday season! 

In addition to the regular sized bucket list sheet, I also used gold glitter half boxes and wood grain half box checklists from the Nordic Winter kit.  I wanted this notes page to be something that could keep me organized through the holidays and be something I could look back at for memory keeping!  The two types of half boxes were perfect for this!  I used the checklist half boxes for holiday To Dos, and the glitter half boxes for memory keeping.

Once I had the half boxes down on the page, I labeled them with the bucket list stickers!  So cute and festive!  I filled in the checklists with my things to do for the holidays, and I’ll fill in the glitter boxes with our favorite holiday memories!  

How are you using the Winter Bucket List Charity sticker sheets in your planner?  I’d love to see! Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or share your ideas in our Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!  Happy Planning!
