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!

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!

Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer here, and today I’d like to share how I used Popfizzpaper stickers in my notes pages of my EC to help me get organized for Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping!  I’ve love good deals, and I don’t mind braving the crowds for Black Friday, but with more and more stores opening on Thanksgiving, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out where you need to be when.  Each year around the beginning of November, I start looking at the Black Friday ads online for my favorite stores.  I start jotting down where I want to go and what I want to buy on a notepad, but my scribbles aren’t very pretty or functional.  That’s where my Popfizzpaper stickers come to the rescue! 

 I used full box stickers and date covers from the Colors of the Wind kit because it matches 2016 EC November colors PERFECTLY!  The Black Friday sticker is from the Fall Bucket List sheet. 

 Looking over my notes, I decided that I wanted to divide the page by date.  The date covers were perfect for this!  Once I had the days divided up, I used full box checklist stickers to show either: a) one store’s shopping list; or b) a list of stores or websites I wanted to be sure to check out.  This is so much easier for me to refer to than my pile of notes! 

In addition to places I wanted to shop, I used other stickers to highlight reminders such as things I need to do before or on Black Friday such as double check sizes, which coupon or cash back apps to check, and things like that.  Now I have all my Black Friday shopping notes in one place AND it’s beautiful and functional!

Do you use functional stickers to stay organized during the holidays?  I’d love to see! Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or share your ideas in our Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!  Happy Planning!

What do you do with your left over design paper? Don't throw it away! I've got a cute little DIY for you that you can do in a matter of minutes. Grab your left over PopFizzPaper design paper from your planner kits, any scrap paper, or construction paper don't worry about the size whether it's an 8x7 or 12x12 or even smaller because...

I'm going to show you how to make a folder with two pockets out that paper. This little folder will be perfect to put stickers in and mail to your friends, hole punch and add to your planner, or use it to store stickers or sticky notes for on-the-go. The possibilities are endless!

Materials you will need are:

Design Paper, Scrap Paper, or Construction Paper

A ruler, adhesive tape or glue, and a pair of scissors

Decorative items such as washi, embellishments, stickers, die-cuts, etc.

First, you will need to decide what size of folder you want. I am going to be making mini folders that will end up being about 3 in x 6 in . I started with about an 8 in x 8 in sheet of paper. Measure with a ruler or use a paper cutter to cut down your sheet if you want feel free to start with a 12 in x 12 in paper or an 8 in x 11 in sheet.

Once you have your sheet fold it in half from right to left, then fold it inside out [both ways] so that you are making a deep crease down the center because you'll be needing one of the folds for later on.

Next, fold the bottom part upward about 4 to 5 inches. Whatever your size of your sheet is you want your bottom part to fold upward about half the height of your paper because that part is going to be your pockets and you want to make sure you have enough height to put items in securely once the sides are glued down.

Lay your paper flat after you've made your folds. Grab your ruler and place it on the right side of your paper and you are going to measure 1/2 inch and fold at the 1/2 inch mark. Do the same thing to the other side.

The bottom part that is going to be folded up you are going to need your scissors to cut a small incision. [See photo below where to cut] You're basically going to be cutting a 1/2 rectangular off the bottom sides so that the bottom sides don't over lap onto the pocket because it's going to make those bottom corners thicker which in my photo I kind of forgot to do that so I want to make I informed you about that before you do the same thing. It's totally fine if you do forget this step the bottom sides will just be thicker and you'll have to add some extra glue to hold that thickness together.

Now we are going to make the pockets. So, fold your paper in half from right to left again and in the middle part start at about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom and cut upward to the fold part of your pocket line. Put your scissors down and fold the bottom part up; you should have two pockets that are the same size!

And, it's time to glue the sides down so make sure you're using a stronger glue or adhesive tape because you don't want the sides to peel up. There you go; you have your folder!

You can stop here if you want to keep your folder simple or if you're like me and like to decorate things then grab those craft items you have next to you and craft away!

I added some washi to the bottom corner, some puffy heart stickers, and in the center I just got a piece of gold sheer design paper and cut it into a small square; added die-cut feathers to the corners and alpha stickers in the center. That's it go ahead an add your goodies to the inside of your new folder!  

If you made one of these folders, we want to see it! Tag @popfizzpaper on Instagram or come show us in the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group.

When you blog for multiple sites and podcast for multiple shows sometimes it gets overwhelming trying to make sure that you are building your communities. I have noticed that I lack in making sure that I am posting on all our social medias and interacting with our listeners and readers. No one really makes a social media tracker so I decided to make my own. I started with a version that had all social medias on one sheet and I realized that was not how I wanted to track. I wanted to see one social media at a time.

My first social media to tackle was twitter because all of my podcasts have a twitter account. I had to also figure out orientation and I decided that landscape would be best I could get most of the month on one side. The idea would be to have a sheet for each social media with space for each podcast and website for me to just go through and check off the days I post.

I then of course had to figure out what other social medias I would want to track and I decided that I would just track one other which would be instagram. These are the two I use the most and that I build my community on the most.

I used a grid insert so that I could color in grid squares when I post and paired with pop fizz paper skinny labels it makes for a perfect tracker!

Materials:

• Grid inserts from michaels 
• Skinny labels 
• Thicker labels 
• Icons

Making this tracker was fun now the trick will be to remember to use it! How do you track what you post to social media?
