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.

Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer here with a super quick, super functional personal sized dashboard folder for your planner!  For this project, you will need:

The heavy cardstock contents sheet from your Popfizzpaper kit

• Hole punch
• Ruler
• Scoring tool
• Paper trimmer
• Washi
• Sticky notes
• Deco stickers from Colors of the Wind kit

Let’s get started!  The contents sheet is not quite long enough to be a full sized dashboard turned on its side (landscape), but it is very close and it will accommodate all six punches in a personal sized planner.  Trim the length of the contents sheet to 7.5 inches.  Next, holding the contents sheet with the long edge towards you, measure and score a line 3.75 inches in, and fold carefully along that line.  This will be the outside spine of your folder. 

Unfold the contents sheet and cut a line about half way down the fold.  Next, you will need to decide which side you would like your folder on.  I chose to have my folder on the referse side of the dashboard, so I cut out the upper right quadrant of the paper.

Next, I used the Popfizzpaper kit washi tape to cover up the text on the inside of my folder that would show.  I also used a strip of washi tape at the bottom of the folder and folded the washi to stick to the other side to close the folder.

 I used a quote sticker from the deco sheet from the kit on the folder side and put it in my personal sized planner.  It’s perfect for storing business cards, receipts, coupons... or who am I kidding?  more stickers.

 We’re not done with this dashboard yet!  I mounted the Popfizzpaper kit sticky notes to the other side!  I also decorated it with a quote sticker from the deco sticker sheet.  How cute is that?!

Sticky notes and a pocket! Could a dashboard possibly be any more functional... or adorable?!  This kit is perfect for fall!  If you missed out on this kit, some of the pieces will be available in the shop for a limited time.  What’s your favorite thing you’ve made with the contents sheet in your Popfizzpaper kit? I’d love to see!  Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or post it in the Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!

Happy Fall Everyone! Well at least if you’re on this side of the world. To everyone else I guess I should say Happy… Spring? ;) Fall is my favorite time of year! Everything about it makes me happy- I love the crisp cool air, the bright colorful leaves, decorating with pumpkins, wearing big scarves, and drinking hot chocolate. It’s just the best. I wanted to add some festive décor around my computer desk that could stay up through Thanksgiving and I did just that using supplies from the November PopFizzPaper Planner Kit!
Here’s what I used:

The adhesive wood stickers came from the Target Dollar Spot. I decided on the size of my flags based on the size of the letters I was using to spell out Thankful. Each flag measured 3 inches across. After the flags were cut I alternated washi at the top of each one to help reinforce the holes I’d be making. Using my 1/8” hole punch I made 2 holes on each flag in order to string them together.

I also picked out a few of the feather die cuts from the kit and hole punched those as well. Then using gold metallic cord (also from the Dollar Spot) I strung them all together! Make sure you have your pieces in order before you get started- there’s nothing worse than getting half way through, realizing you have a letter in the wrong spot, and having to take everything off and start over!

And voila! It is literally that easy. Banners like this are a great way to decorate without having to invest a ton of money into each season or holiday. This was inexpensive but the bright colors from the kit pack a big punch making a significant impact on an otherwise neutral space!

I hope you enjoyed this fun tutorial and I hope you’re all loving your planner kits for November! The colors had me ooing and ahhing all over the place. There were a lot of fun surprises in the add-on kit too. I can’t wait to see what is in store next month! Don’t forget to post photos in the Facebook group “PopFizzPaper Fans” of how you’re using this month’s kit! Thanks for stopping by!

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. 

Hello all!  It’s Jennifer again, and this week I want to share with y’all how I made this cute makeup brush cup with the October Popfizzpaper kit papers and stickers!  

For this craft, you will need:

• Popfizzpaper kit papers
• Container to decoupage (I upcycled a travel sized chip canister)
• ModPodge (or similar... I hear a 1:1 ratio of Elmer’s glue and water works, but I have not tried this)
• Scissors or paper trimmer
• Popfizzpaper stickers
• Foam brush
• Newspaper to cover your work area (this gets messy!)
• Brayer (optional)

For this craft, I decided to use an empty travel sized chip canister and it’s the perfect size to corral my makeup brushes and other essentials!  I just made sure the canister was clean before I started.  The first step is cutting your paper down to size.  I wrapped the paper around the canister and marked where I needed to cut lightly with a pencil.  I made sure to have a slight overlap wrapping the paper around the canister to ensure complete coverage.  Repeat this process for the length of the paper, but this time you do not want any overlap.

Get your foam brush and apply an even layer of ModPodge to the reverse side of your paper.  Carefully apply the paper to the canister.  Paper tends to get wrinkly when it’s wet, so you can use the brayer to carefully smooth any wrinkles.  Once the paper was glued onto the canister, I added some decorative Popfizzpaper stickers! 

Adding ModPodge over top of the paper and stickers will make the finished makeup cup more durable.  One word of warning though: the color from the Popfizzpaper stickers (or any inkjet printed stickers) will bleed unless you carefully dab the ModPodge over the stickered areas.  If you simply brush the glue over stickers, they WILL bleed.  You also run the risk of the sticker paper tearing if you brush the stickers.  I achieved the best results from dabbing glue over the sticker, then wiping any discoloration that ended up on the foam brush off on some newspaper. 

Once you have applied one layer of ModPodge to your cup, let it dry.  The glue will dry clear.  I applied one more coat of ModPodge after this.  You do not have to be as careful applying the glue during the second coat because the first coat sealed the stickers.  Now you can focus on nice even brush strokes.  Once that dries, go ahead and fill it up with your makeup brushes or pencils!

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?
