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 .

Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer again, and today I’m going to share how I store all my leftover kit stickers!  Without good organization, sticker leftovers can get overwhelming.  Either you’ll spend a ton of time looking for the sticker you want, or you’ll forget about them entirely and waste your money.  Popfizzpaper kits have such an awesome selection of stickers that even if you’re a no-white-space planner, you’ll still have leftover stickers!  When I started planning, I used to take the leftover kit stickers and paperclip the kit together and shove the whole kit into a plastic pencil case.  Where they’d sit.  Unused. What a waste of super cute stickers!!  Then one day, when I was at Michaels, I saw plastic greeting card storage box, and this storage system was the result!

First, I went through my kit leftovers and decided what categories I wanted to sort them into.  Then, I made folders! I thought folders would be better suited for this type of sticker storage than simple dividers.  I had seen people using dividers to file their stickers in a photo storage box, but cutting up kit leftovers results in pretty little sticker pieces, and I was afraid they would get lost and unused with dividers.

To make the folders, I simply used a sheet of letter-sized cardstock folded in half.  For the tabs, I used the Popfizzpaper tab stickers.  They’re PERFECT for this project!  I made a tab for all the types of stickers I wanted to file: half boxes, icons, headers, etc. 

Now, all I have to do is cut the sheets apart at the end of the week and file the stickers away in their own little folder!  So now the next time I need a purple habit tracker to pull the whole week together, I know exactly where to look instead of having to go through all my leftovers by kit until I come across the right sticker! 

How do you store your kit leftovers?  I’d love to see!  Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or share your ideas in our Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!  Happy Planning!

Hey everyone, Sabrina here! How many of you are horizontal planners? And, how many of you are like me and have wondered if vertical stickers fit into the horizontal planners? Raise those hands up high. Well, guess what... they do indeed fit with just a little tweaking. Today’s blog, I am showing you all how you can use a vertical weekly kit in a horizontal planner!

Let’s get planning! All you need for this is a fresh week, any vertical weekly kit of your choice, a pen and of course your planner! If you are planning with Erin Condren sheets in a Kikki.K like myself, you’ll need a hole punch to just re-punch those holes you covered up with a sticker.

I am planning ahead and using the Merry and Bright full weekly kit from PopFizzPaper for the end of November/ early December. The blue and green colors in the Erin Condren colored horizontal didn’t match with this kit’s colors so I am going to be using a week from October and turning it into a different month by covering the month and dates with stickers to use it for any week I want. Then I did the left side by adding date covers and dates, a quote to the top left, a November month of the year sticker, and a decorative sticker.

I went ahead and finished covering up my October with another quote, added a December monthly sticker, and used the rest of my date covers and dates. I then placed all my decorative full boxes to the right side. I liked using the entire sticker even if it did overlap a bit but you can totally trim the top and bottom of to fit that space more precise. I got my weekend sticker down, added my payday and bill dues, another quote, and a weekly full box to the bottom notes section. As you can see, everything is fitting nicely for being a vertical kit in a horizontal layout.

Now that I kind of got the hang of placement and the imagery in my mind of where I plan to place the rest of my stickers I went ahead and just had some fun placing everything down. For me the middle section is for all my to-do’s, the right side on the decorative full boxes is for my work schedule/ anything important that has a deadline, and the left side is more to-do’s or things that I would like to do that day.

That’s it! I think it turned out super cute I cannot wait until the end of November to finish filling in this week. This kit is a perfect transition into the next holiday season. Whether you try out using a vertical kit in a horizontal spread or you use one of PopFizzPaper’s new horizontal kits we want to see it! Come share it with us over at the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group or tag @PopFizzPaper on Instagram!

As Pop Fizz Paper is making some changes and discontinuing the planner kit something even more exciting is in the works I can feel it.

Beginning in November you can get a limited edition 8 sheet kit that will include a matching washi! This limited edition kit will be awesome because you will know what you are getting and if you love the way the kits are made you will love the new kits.

With that thought in mind I wanted to share with you my top 5 favorite stickers from a pop fizz paper weekly kit. We all use stickers differently but sometimes hearing how someone else does it can inspire your creative juices. So let's jump right in!

1. Checklist flags 

a. I have always been more of a fan of a checklist flag rather than a full checklist box.
b. I love the designs on the flags and that they are not just solid colors
c. I use these specifically to track my to dos for the day for my general life I like more of a white space look for these
d. Checklist flags give a very open feeling that I love

2. Half box checklist 

a. These are my favorite way to track short things for certain tasks for example like a short cleaning list, specific things for a podcast
b. I can put a header on top of these or thin washi with whatever label I want
c. It allows me to pair them with my next favorite sticker

3. Half boxes with flags 

a. I love these for tracking a big event and then using the above sticker for tasks I need to do with the highlighted event
b. I also like to use these to highlight big major things for my family or for my school job
c. The flags let me write in them or use an icon if I want to

4. Open flag labels 

a. These are by far my favorite label because they are so white space. I love the look and feel and I can use them to highlight an event or I can use them to tell me to take some time off
b. The design and width are perfect and can really be used for anything you can even use them vertically

5. Washi strips

a. I absolutely love the washi strips! They are great for adding some decor
b. I use them a lot to cover up a header
c. My biggest use is during the weekend to make the weekend standout without having to use a full box

What are your favorite parts of a pop fizz paper weekly kit? Which stickers are your favorite to use? What is your favorite planner to use pop fizz paper in? Let us know!

One of the first crafts I ever did and mailed out was a pocket letter. After creating my first one, I was instantly hooked. I absolutely love pocket letters; to create them and to send them! So today's blog I am going to be showing you all how I create a pocket letter using the November "Colors of the Wind" Planner Kit from PopFizzPaper.

Let's just jump right into this fun activity! Below are materials that you are going to need for a full 9-pocket letter.

1-3 sheets- cardstock or design paper

1- 8.5 x 11 postbound or 3-ring album pocket protector sheet [I use The Paper Studio]

scissors, pen, glue or adhesive tape, ruler or a pre-cut pocket letter square measuring 2.5 x 3.5

Decor: stickers, sticky notes, sequins, empheria [cut outs], washi tape, etc. [Whatever you want to put into your pocket letter]

What I do first is I cut out all 9 of my squares; I used the PopFizzPaper "Colors of the Wind" design sheets. Either grab your pre-cut pocket letter square that measures 2.5 x 3.5 and trace that square over your design paper OR if you don't have a pre-cut square use your ruler to measure 2.5 x 3.5 and do that 9 times on your papers so that you end up with 9 squares.

Tip: I always put the squares into the pocket protector sleeve before I go onto the next step to make sure that it fits properly and that I didn't cut the sides too short or in case it doesn't fit and needs be trimmed down. I also use this as a pre-planning method to be able to see where I want each square to go and what I plan to do for that specific pocket.

Now the FUN and also my favorite part... Decorating! Choose your theme: I obviously went with the nature / travel theme. I love shaker pockets; I think that they are so fun and super cute. So I always start with my center pocket and 99% of the time I create a shaker pocket. I basically just threw in some sequins that matched with my card for that pocket and took a piece of washi tape to seal the top part so that no sequins would fall out. Once that was done, I start from the top left corner and work my way to the right and then onto the next row until I get to the bottom. I also really like simple yet detailed decorating but feel free to get as creative as you like.

Pocket Details:

First pocket; I added onto my gold square a PopFizzPaper sticky note as my background and PFP watercolor washi along the left side with an puffy heart sticker, a globe cut out, and an arrow cut out.

Second pocket; I cut a piece of arrow design paper to create a pocket that I filled with PopFizzPaper deco stickers and feather cut outs and at the top added a "Happiness" cut out.

Third pocket; is a movitational pocket with "Follow YOUR Arrow" using gold glitter alpha letters, a gold puffy heart sticker, arrow cut out, and PopFizzPaper feather stickers.

Fourth pocket; I added a piece of blue glitter washi to the bottom and a "and, we're off!" sticker ontop of the washi, a sun sticker and an airplane cut out.

Fifth pocket; is my shaker pocket.

Sixth pocket; is my hello pocket with a gift tag, a "hi" corkboard sticker, a PopFizzPaper feather and it's all in a little pocket that I made using a piece of design paper.

Seventh pocket; is another motivational pocket with a gold puffy heart sticker, PopFizzPaper feather stickers, puffy arrow stickers, and "Faith, Hope, Love" in gold glitter alpha stickers.

Eighth pocket; I did a washi banner at the top of the square, a piece of gold glitter washi at the bottom and with PopFizzPaper feather stickers ontop and in the middle a PFP "Colors of the Wind" sticker.

Ninth and final pocket; I did the same idea as the first pocket where I stuck a sticky note down as my background, a washi strip on the left side of the pocket, a gold puffy heart sticker, a PopFizzPaper quote sticker from the "Colors of the Wind" kit, and a cork arrow sticker that I added gold feather washi onto the bottom on the arrow for a little more dimension.

Lastly, I went through my collection to see if I may have missed any items that I wanted to have in this pocket letter and just stuck those last minute items in the pockets. And, that's it! It's not a hard craft at all. I absolutely love how this pocket letter turned out and I hope you do too!

Now you know how to create a pocket letter if you didn't already. And, if you do create one we want to see it! So, make sure you tag @popfizzpaper both on Instagram and 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. 

Today’s blog is all about using stickers on your hourly inserts for your personal planner(s). Personal planner inserts in my opinion are really small pages so you can’t write big or have too large of stickers on it because it’ll take up a vast majority of your space which will look cluttered. What allows me to be able to use stickers on such a small space is using mini stickers along with a few regular sized functional stickers. I don’t use full boxes and only half boxes when I have something important and I have the space for it. Using hourly inserts you have consider what will fit and what you need to use for that specific day because you're scheduling your day by the hour.

First, go through your collection and grab all  your minis and functional stickers. I know I took out a lot of stickers in the above photo and I may not use them all but for me it’s convenient to have them all out anyways so I’m not having to go back and forth in my collection trying to find stickers. Now that you have your stickers all out it’s time for the FUN part … can you guess what that is? Decorating time!  

Placement is key; it’s very important that you look you at your sheet and decided first what you’re doing for that day and grab those functional stickers first before anything else. So in my planner I like to have a horizontal “This Week” insert on my left side and my right side have my hourly sheet. You’re probably looking at my photo thinking “Girl, I thought this was a post about hourly planning.” It is … I promise! I do this for extra space and because I like to see what else I have going on during the week. Plus, my hourly sheet stops at 9:30 PM [like most do] which is early for me because I’m a night owl and I don’t go to sleep until really late in the AM so I need an extra sheet so I can write down what other things I have to do later in the evening. You can even place a lined paper or graph paper on the left side if you want or just have your hourly insert it’s totally up to you and your planning style.

On a typical work day my schedule may look something like the photo above. Early mornings for work I need a “wake me up” sticker so this PopFizzPaper “Treat Yourself” mug will always be the first sticker to start my day. Next to it I'll add what I'm doing while I'm having my morning drink. I use a header sticker to block out the times I’ll be working so in this example it’s from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm; yay for short days! If your schedule is longer stick another header right below the one you just laid down. I put my header to the far right because that day I have a meeting so I need the space to write in next to the time it’s happening. If there is no meeting or nothing else important that needs to be submitted or attended, I’ll then add the header down the middle. I continued plugging in more stickers next to the times that I need to do something until I got to the bottom. Check it out even label stickers fit on either column; awesome right! I love those labels with the boots on them to mark for when I go rock climbing or even just to take my dogs to the dog park. On the left side column on the top; I use stickers to remind me of things I NEED “To Do” like using the “Hair Appt” to remind me to make an appointment and on the bottom half I like to add a fun journal prompt question [in the middle] and try to find a sticker that matches my answer just for fun. As well as things that I NEED to do later that evening after 9:30 PM like using that dollar sign to remind me to pay a bill and that “change air filter”. On my horizontal “This Week” sheet I add whatever else doesn’t fit on my hourly sheet basically anything else after 9:30 PM that I want or need to do like using that bath tub sticker and TV sticker. 

Now that I have all my stickers down I’m able to go in and write things down. The reason I don’t write things down before I place my stickers is in case I decided I need to swap a sticker around or I just change my mind and I don’t want a particular sticker it’s easier to remove a sticker and replace it with another one or remove it all together than it is to correct your writing mistakes. You don’t want a bunch of white-out on your paper, do you? I know I don’t. The above photo I placed all my stickers down and I filled it all in. I’m all done planning just need to stick these inserts back into my planner.

See you can do this too to your personal sized hourly inserts! So, get to planning and once you’re finished we want to see how cute your page came out so make sure you show us by tagging PopFizzPaper on Instagram and come post it on the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group so we can all heart it.
