Kissing the planner

I just wanted a quick smooch and this has turned into a ...

ahem!

The three gals hosting the unplanner have lots of great ideas and I was game to try just about all of them but I can barely do the work of one!  They are also going for unique and I'm settling for personalized....

In trying to personalize my calendar I have lost sight of simple.

By the time I figure out spread sheets, sizing for google suggestions and blah, blah, blah ....
Not to mention fast declines in ink levels...  oye!

So with a time limit of 3 hours...

More info for my learning curve.

I had cut up the first month divider per instructions but I actually like the originals so I will not be doing all that.

I divided most every thing up from the kit and put it in monthly order.  The first six months each have a theme colour ready.

I like chalky pastels better than brights so I added more white to the title page and fussy cut some of my theme cardstock.  Now I need some chipboard numbers for the year.

I like crisp lines and that works best on good quality white paper as the softer paper kinda bleeds, spreads or feathers.  :( 

The weekly format I like best is lines and next month I have a better idea because attaching it with a  gluestick to a background paper isn't wonderful and uses up lots of pages which also need decorating.  I have figured out how to print, fold and join at the ring area for double sided!  :)

I think one day to colour, stamp, stencil  and doodle on the tags and papers for the upcoming month is the way to go.  Then I can quickly cut, glue and embellish.

Much as I lament the loss of the January divider I am not doing more than some touch ups.  Heck, January is half gone!  eek!

Now I have to go and give today's date a KISS!   vbsigh
