New Planner Ideas

Today, there's a special event happening on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog.  It's all about NEW Year, New Planner Ideas!

My 2020 word of the year is GRATITUDE.  What a great word!  My  plan is to do a page per week of someone, somewhere or something for which I'm grateful.  If I'm having a sad day, I can use my gratitude planner to remind myself of good things :)  Here is my contribution to the ECD blog.  It's my January dashboard page:

Isn't it pretty!? (Even if I do say so myself!)  The paper is from an older Graphic 45 Collection.  Here's a close up of that amazing tag and the fun new letters from Elizabeth Craft Designs:

New Years December DBD

The design team members for Elizabeth Craft Designsare working hard on last-minute holiday crafts and crafts for New Years. I decided to create a page for New Years for #DecemberDBD.

I have been loving creating the #DecemberDBD pages. For this one, I used the Planner Pocket 2 and Planner Essentials 1 and 4 dies along with the A Field of Flowers stamps.  (I did some masking to create the scene that is shown.) The "Count Your Blessings" sentiment is from the Family set. The reinforcements I used are found in the Planner Essentials 11 set.

The tags were fun to make and to think about. I just typed them on my computer. One will be for pictures, and the other two will be to set some goals for the New Year!

The supplies I used from Elizabeth Craft Designs are below. The paper is from G45 and Tim. Thank you for stopping by!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Favorite Stamp

Crazy4Challenges is challenging us this week to use our favorite stamp. That's impossible; too many to choose from! Instead, I've stamped and colored my favorite things to color with these amazing stamps from Elizabeth Craft Designs, called, "Oh the Joy of Christmas" and "a Field of Flowers."

Yes, love to color flowers and people!  Isn't she just adorable? and those flowers!  <3

Here's another page that I'll add to my December Day-by-Day:

Fun and simple!  The tag insert is stamped with a bit of distress ink with another stamp that's in the Oh the Joy of Christmas set:

Love it!  My supplies from Elizabeth Craft Designs are linked up below. The paper I used is from G45. The ephemera is from Tim. Thanks for stopping by today! Oh! And join the challenge! What is your go-to-stamps?
