As you can see there are some stellar flower sets, beautiful intricate dies, and a heavy focus on birthday greetings. There are some nifty new products to add bling to your projects, and some of the nicest patterned paper sets I've seen in a long time.<br />
<br />
I plan to run several birthday card classes in the new year, because there are just too many great things to share all at once. I'll post the schedule on here very soon. (Promise!)<br />
<br />
That's all I have time for today, just wanted to pop in and let you all know I still plan to continue blogging and doing videos. Sorry again for the long silence!<br />

It went:<br />
<h1>
<span style="color: #4bacc6; font-family: Gabriola;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our plates are full and our cups are empty.</span></span></h1>
Does this sound like you? Rushing the kids (or yourself) from one activity to the next, with barely enough time to down a quick meal. Working all day and only have energy for eating a bag of nachos while binge watching Netflix. Feeling guilty at the end of the day because another whole day has gone by and you feel haven’t accomplished anything, even though you haven’t sat down once. Wishing you had time to use all those cute stamp supplies you purchased that are just sitting there but it’s a disorganized mess and it’s too hard to pull anything out, and who has the time or energy for stamping anyway?<br />
<br />
I get it. I really do. People think because I’m a Demo, I spend all day joyously playing with stamps and paper in my studio. Let me be the first to say… I struggle daily with my reluctance to drag my butt down there. Usually it is only the scary looming deadline of upcoming classes that inspires my panic monster enough to propel me down the stairs. Even when I get myself down there I am overcome with crafting paralysis. What colors should I use? Which stamps? Techniques? Papers? Embellishments? It can be so overwhelming that you convince yourself you need to look for inspiration on Pinterest and head back to the computer upstairs…and we all know how that ends. No stamping done and a bunch of pins on a board titled “Black Cat Memes” because you got distracted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Crafting is a lot like working out. We know we will enjoy ourselves and feel so much better if we can just do it. It's the getting into it that's the hard part. I’ve compiled a short list of some tricks I use to get started. Why not give them a try? Let’s face it, there’s not much we can do about all the dishes we have juggle on a daily basis, but making time to regularly fill our cups with a bit of crafting joy can make a huge difference in our lives and attitudes.<br />
<br />
<h1>
5 Tips to overcome crafting paralysis:</h1>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/$ecard_PP_DBWS_0615_US[5].png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><strong>1. Leave a half finished project out to complete-</strong> Start with a clean desk is advice you often hear, but I find it better if I leave a mostly completed project on my desk. That way, when I sit down the next day, I can dive right in and complete it, with no thinking involved. Once I’ve glued down a few bits and tied some ribbon, I’ve “warmed up” my crafting brain enough to create something new.<br />
<br />
<strong>2. Have a clear idea of what you want to create-</strong> Before you head to your crafting space, take a few minutes to think about what you want to do before you get distracted by all your supplies. Is there a specific stamp set you want to use? Maybe it’s a special technique you want to try out. Having an idea already in mind gives you momentum. You can then allow yourself to play and be creative, and you may discover your end result it nothing like what you originally planned.<br />
<br />
<strong>3. Set aside a non negotiable time to stamp-</strong> While this might seem silly, put a time and date in writing on your calendar or planner. Writing it down makes it more real. Consider it as important as any appointment you’ve waited months to book. Be realistic. Saying you are going to stamp from midnight until 2am when you need to work at 6am is setting yourself up for failure.<br />
<br />
<strong>4. Take a class-</strong> Get out of your craft room and head somewhere else. There’s nothing like being with a group of other enthusiastic stampers to get the mojo flowing. You might just learn a thing or two as well!<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/$ecard_PP_DBWS_0615_US[5].png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/$ecard_PP_DBWS_0615_US[5].png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<strong>5. Use a kit-</strong> I adore my Paper Pumpkin kits when I’m not feeling inspired. Everything is already cut and designed, you just have to stamp and assemble. They’re the perfect way to feel accomplished and use very little brain power in the process.<br />
<br />
Hope those tips help! Please share in the comments any tricks you use to get stamping, or any obstacles that slow you down, Oh, and if you’re curious about the Paper Pumpkin kits Thursday, Sept.10th is the last day to take advantage of the <a href="https://mypaperpumpkin.com/en-ca?demoid=2005092">2 months at half price offer</a> below!<br />

Thanks for being so patient with me while I took off all summer long! The boys & I had a fabulous summer. We went swimming almost everyday, ate lots of ice cream, and played way too many video games. While I'm sad to be leaving those lazy days behind, I am also excited to be transitioning into fall. It is my favourite season of the year, and I've been working on all kinds of fun projects to share with you here and on YouTube.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The new Holiday Catalogue was released September 1st, and while I can't wait to show you all the fabulousness that is in there, I'm going to keep it in summer mode just a little longer and share some projects this week using must have butterfly stamp sets and matching thinlits from the main catalogue.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So without further ado:</span><br />

Gorgeous, if I do say so myself! I love the combination of girly glitter and lace balanced with the more masculine twine and Tip Top Taupe background. The taupe colour really sets off the Soft Sky too.<br />

If you’re a plannerd, you’ve probably already read about the millions of ways you can write one. Bullet Lists, Brain Dumps, Prioritized Task Lists, Daily Dockets…these are just a few styles that come to mind. At their very heart, it all boils down to the same thing. You write stuff down that needs to get done… and you mark it when it’s finished. <i>How</i> you write it and <i>how</i> you mark it complete is what sets your list apart from anyone else’s. Functional or a little fun? The same format each day or constantly changing? It’s all up to you!<br />
<br />
Today I want to explore some of the ways you can stamp your checklists. Please don’t get hung up over the supplies I’m using. There are dozens of great “planner specific” stamp sets out there, and almost as many YouTube videos showing them off. I want to show you different ways to actually <i>use</i> them You don’t need the exact stamp set or ink pictured for these ideas to work. In fact, at the end I’ll show you a stamping hack that doesn’t require stamps at all! Read on to “check” it out! (See what I did there? I’m too funny for my own good!)<br />
<br />
1. <b>Straight Up & Down</b>- The most obvious of the bunch, just use that stamp straight out of the package. You can choose one with or without lines:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TVkg1I_lGUs/VU0AYhew3JI/AAAAAAAAUCI/TlktYk8JzRM/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252013.33.13%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 13.33.13" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Azh8jI5N4pU/VU0AZJDzAnI/AAAAAAAAUCM/t1BnbBH6lkc/2015-05-07%25252013.33.13_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="259" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 13.33.13" width="412" /></a><br />
<br />
On the lined image, you can add a single bullet for a complete checklist, or use the top line as a title:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7qFxjg-x6jk/VU0AZ_AEuMI/AAAAAAAAUCY/CISjbLuesTQ/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252013.41.50%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 13.41.50" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HOsczNW0GY0/VU0AaRvXCNI/AAAAAAAAUCc/dD91nN0Ihu4/2015-05-07%25252013.41.50_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="271" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 13.41.50" width="329" /></a><br />
<br />
If your list is huge, just stamp again directly below to make it longer:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5IYdOcTCs2k/VU0AazR0meI/AAAAAAAAUCo/n1R6rmZE1Js/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252013.34.03%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 13.34.03" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qeDevlVMJww/VU0Abp4FuuI/AAAAAAAAUCs/nheJniDyPrs/2015-05-07%25252013.34.03_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 13.34.03" width="212" /></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8p6Yfvmz0Qo/VU0AcOskOLI/AAAAAAAAUC4/Xo8q2R55WRE/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252013.37.01%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 13.37.01" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SmmaSyzfmt4/VU0AcjKrNLI/AAAAAAAAUC8/W-q37zuOtT8/2015-05-07%25252013.37.01_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 13.37.01" width="150" /></a><br />
<br />
2. <b>Turn ‘em sideways</b>- Give your checklist a quarter turn and now you have a tracking chart! Use it to record glasses of water consumed, medications you need to take, the number of times you checked Facebook in a day…<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LJOcVEaPrX8/VU0AdWf46xI/AAAAAAAAUDI/0CAc0e2fSmY/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252014.10.06%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 14.10.06" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uf1b5ttfonI/VU0Ad3lVigI/AAAAAAAAUDM/BXIRU1-CJms/2015-05-07%25252014.10.06_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="154" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 14.10.06" width="371" /></a><br />
<br />
3. <b>Free Form</b>- Maybe you don’t like the idea of a bulleted list. Use a word stamp for a title and then list away!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_9mug6Ie_Jw/VU0AeZzjoAI/AAAAAAAAUDY/POZIXA1amDM/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252014.18.53%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 14.18.53" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4ABd7APPzAk/VU0Ae6W_bPI/AAAAAAAAUDc/Qew1nU_Sxzc/2015-05-07%25252014.18.53_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 14.18.53" width="230" /></a><br />
<br />
4. <b>Words & Single Bullet</b>- Use a word stamp together with a bullet. These really stand out on your page and are very effective on a weekly view:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lQvT_tkIUrA/VU0AfbbmTkI/AAAAAAAAUDo/UiMdO2iQF9A/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252014.40.21%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 14.40.21" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tEey54Gi6GI/VU0AgMo037I/AAAAAAAAUDs/RUZqhXQhcNw/2015-05-07%25252014.40.21_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="366" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 14.40.21" width="291" /></a><br />
<br />
To save time, arrange all your stamps on a huge acrylic block like a template and stamp multiple weeks at once. This trick works great to customize a stack of Post-Its too.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SdEN1tT7TfU/VU0Ag31nRJI/AAAAAAAAUD4/ps78oFYPJNo/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252014.41.11%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 14.41.11" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bqB8zFfNneo/VU0AhUcnKbI/AAAAAAAAUD8/eY4lGHr6yoM/2015-05-07%25252014.41.11_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="308" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 14.41.11" width="226" /></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xGYA0ekh3_8/VU0AiHEibjI/AAAAAAAAUEI/y_prMVl9fvQ/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252016.37.59%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 16.37.59" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Jt9UxZdOF68/VU0AivBILCI/AAAAAAAAUEQ/lJuz0j3DsB0/2015-05-07%25252016.37.59_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="306" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 16.37.59" width="260" /></a><br />
<br />
5. <b>Change your bullets</b>- Use different styles of bullets to separate your lists. The example here is work/home, but you could use a different bullet for each family member, or to divide your list into how long a task will take. Don’t have multiple bullet images? Use the same bullet but change your ink colour for a similar effect.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jI2jFCpmSvo/VU0AjbeTwVI/AAAAAAAAUEY/cV21FDfK-ME/s1600-h/2015-05-07%25252017.02.25%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-07 17.02.25" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zOL13d_LDpA/VU0Aj-RwC1I/AAAAAAAAUEg/OmKrdO_OXHU/2015-05-07%25252017.02.25_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="212" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-07 17.02.25" width="430" /></a><br />
<br />
6. <b>Outline or Fill</b>- Some planner stamp sets come with an outline image and matching solid image. It’s personal choice as to which style you prefer. Keep in mind with a solid image you’ll want to use a light coloured ink if you want to see your “completed” checks.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M2Tf3HslfyQ/VU0AksKUV2I/AAAAAAAAUEo/qTDoZAfWBfM/s1600-h/2015-05-08%25252011.39.38%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-08 11.39.38" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MEHO9uB8Q3A/VU0AlOv7GVI/AAAAAAAAUEs/Q32cwSxVSHw/2015-05-08%25252011.39.38_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="236" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-08 11.39.38" width="307" /></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-w58GVZg4j3Q/VU0AlqJ3AMI/AAAAAAAAUE4/FNbNkZut8aw/s1600-h/2015-05-08%25252011.40.01%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-08 11.40.01" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cYg2e1sTflQ/VU0Amcs4CtI/AAAAAAAAUE8/1QJe3GT4CjY/2015-05-08%25252011.40.01_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="234" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-08 11.40.01" width="304" /></a><br />
<br />
If you want to get fancy, you can use the solid image to mark off your completed tasks. Lots of opportunity for decoration with this option!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ac13yG1KlZE/VU0Am_2QdxI/AAAAAAAAUFI/SnYRz8fc0AE/s1600-h/2015-05-08%25252011.39.44%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2015-05-08 11.39.44" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O-S5tTKYHZI/VU0AnlOU2RI/AAAAAAAAUFM/SWMaxl0aku4/2015-05-08%25252011.39.44_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="337" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-05-08 11.39.44" width="410" /></a><br />

For a little background as to why I’m posting this, check out <a href="http://pamperreault.blogspot.ca/2015/04/intro-to-decorated-planners.html">this earlier post</a>.<br />
<br />
So…as the title suggests, today we’ll be discussing why you would consider using stamps in your planner.<br />
<br />
For those of us that are already stampers, the answer is obvious…stamps are completely awesome! *grin*<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DyvKtzLmkOU/VT-4TxfQv5I/AAAAAAAAUAo/m9stbjwuIPg/s1600-h/index%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="index" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_N3Etbog5-s/VT-4UgZ7niI/AAAAAAAAUAs/-izD-q8yvmY/index_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="229" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="index" width="220" /></a><br />
However, I do get that if you are new to stamping, I might need to do a little convincing. The sheer variety of supplies can be overwhelming, not to mention the time invested in learning a new skill. Aren’t most of us using planners to try and save a little time? So yes, I get it. Why you might be reluctant to add yet another “thing” to your To Do List. Hopefully, my list below will inspire you to give stamping a chance.<br />
<br />
1. Long Term Savings<br />
You might not believe me, but once you get over the initial investment of purchasing your stamps and ink actually <i>using</i> your supplies is incredibly cost effective. Stamps, when cared for properly, will last a lifetime. A quality stamp pad, especially if you purchase a matching reinker, will last 10+ years. When you compare this against the cost of individual sticker sheets or if you print your own, the cost of labels and printer ink, I think you’ll discover that stamps come out ahead in the long run.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Consistency<br />
As I’ve already said, once you own a stamp, it is good for a lifetime. You are no longer at the mercy of a company who discontinues your favourite weather stickers, an Etsy store that is continually out of stock, or have to experience the frustration of running out of your blue coloured “family” labels halfway through planning your week. Your stamps will look exactly the same this week as they will 5 years from now. This can come as a great relief to those searching for their “planner peace.” Once you find a stamp you love, you can love it forever. I will still sign off my handwritten letters using a stamp I bought when I was 12 years old. How’s that for consistency?<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="2015-04-27 17.54.36" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bJJiheKyPzE/VT-4XYtxNDI/AAAAAAAAUBM/4YqWIjLLKJ0/2015-04-27%25252017.54.36_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="227" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-04-27 17.54.36" width="433" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The original "Ink On My Whiskers"</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
3. Customization <br />
Just because you can own the same stamp for a lifetime, don’t think it becomes boring! One of stamping’s greatest strengths is how versatile it can be. By varying the color and style of inks and employing different techniques, one stamp can be used hundreds of different ways. Don’t believe me? Check out <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=blended%20bloom">this Pinterest link</a>.<br />
<br />
In relation to planners, a great example of this feature is colour coding. By using just one stamp but several different colours of ink, I can easily glance at my weekly calendar and know which family member the activity pertains to. I’ll be giving you lots of other practical applications in upcoming posts.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="2015-04-28 10.38.04" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lTjAQnQzZPo/VT-4Yxy9jyI/AAAAAAAAUBg/uie5x8y7wj4/2015-04-28%25252010.38.04_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="508" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-04-28 10.38.04" width="270" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">While I could use coloured pens or highlighters to achieve the same result, I like the touch of whimsy stamped icons add to my planner pages.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
4. Artistic Expression<br />
For those of you that have the time or inclination, stamps can be used as a purely decorative feature in your planner. The possibilities are truly endless. Your daily pages are a great place to experiment with different styles and techniques. If you don’t like how something turned out one day, you can just try something different tomorrow!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="2015-04-28 11.03.11" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9Z1XV11IFRs/VT-4a917xlI/AAAAAAAAUBs/Wkafwi9IsgE/2015-04-28%25252011.03.11_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="351" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2015-04-28 11.03.11" width="456" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Just a small sampling of decorative stamping.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
5. Reduce Bulk<br />
Unlike stickers and washi tape, stamping adds zero bulk to your pages. Who doesn't want a little more space in their planners?<br />
<br />
6. Drawbacks<br />
Finally, as much as I love stamps, this would not be an honest article if I didn’t address a few negative aspects surrounding stamping. The first involves portability. Stamping on-the-go is generally a difficult thing. Lugging around stamp sets, inks, acrylic blocks, and cleaning supplies does not make for a light carry bag. Second is speed. You really can’t rush stamping. It takes time to choose your stamp, mount it, ink it, stamp your image, clean your stamp, and allow your image to dry. While practice certainly speeds the process, it can be tedious if you are a jot-it-down-quickly-type of planner.<br />
<br />
I plan to share solutions to both of these drawbacks in future posts, so if they bother you, stay tuned!<br />

I’m late to the game purchasing this set, but I’m so glad I finally did. The images are very versatile and you don’t need to “dress up” your card very much to make them look good.<br />

<br />
It’s just basic stamping with a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock embossed with the wood grain folder to add a little visual interest.<br />
<br />
I also sponged a little Crumb Cake ink over the image to add depth:<br />

I love using twine as an alternative to “girly” ribbon when making masculine cards. The rest of the supplies I used are listed below.

<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-BhkmTlxWVj4/VSxKMAZq9oI/AAAAAAAAT98/XeXy2qbQfuE/s1600-h/index%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="index" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-G6lcJIhI6pE/VSxKMjvwYfI/AAAAAAAAT-E/p2z5_J2OwPE/index_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="295" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="index" width="402" /></a><br />
<br />
One of the particularly evil things about it for me is what I like to call the “squirrel factor.” You know what I mean. You go online just to look at ideas for, let’s say, masculine birthday cards. You enter your search, start scanning all the great photos, things are going good, and then bang! A squirrel. “Look at that delicious looking triple layer black forest cake…I’ll just click on it quickly to see how they made it…” aaaand suddenly, it’s three hours later. You’ve read about birthday cakes, walking tours of the Black Forest in Germany, Hansel & Gretel, gingerbread houses, the health benefits of ginger, and watched videos of how to construct your own herb greenhouse. You have long forgotten any ideas for masculine birthday cards, and since it’s now 2am, you have no time to make one either. Bad squirrel.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-F2t4R5OFzn8/VSxKNArDL2I/AAAAAAAAT-I/xgZRN8WCyNM/s1600-h/squirrel%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="squirrel" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-douEeoNma-Q/VSxKNxvmw3I/AAAAAAAAT-U/coNSmBcjA5g/squirrel_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="249" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="squirrel" width="361" /></a><br />
<br />
However, every now and then my squirrel leads me to some really interesting places. About a year ago, while researching art journaling techniques for a class I was teaching, I came across what I first thought were some really nifty decorated smash-style scrapbooks. On closer inspection, I realized they weren’t scrapbooks, but were instead day planners. My heart suddenly began beating a little faster… but first a little backstory.<br />
<br />
For those of you that follow my blog, it will come as no surprise to you that I’m a fan of organization. So when I admit that I have always carried some form of day planner since high school and can’t remember a thing if I don’t have it written down in there, you will probably just shrug and go…”Yeah. That’s Pam. She’s a little OCD.”<br />
<br />
In real life, whenever I pull out my planner to write something down, I’ve endured the well-meaning jibes from friends who wonder why I bother now that we all have Google Calendar and smartphones with fancy apps. Truth is, I actually like and use these too. The productivity section is one of my fave areas to browse in the iTunes App Store…but I digress. Bad squirrel.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo… the bottom line is I’ve always had to <i>explain</i> my love of planners. How good it feels to physically check off those items on my to do list, and why finding *just* the right pen is a quest akin to searching for the Holy Grail. I always felt so…alone. Like I was the last person on earth that still went to stationery stores, just for fun.<br />
<br />
Well, that’s enough backstory before I totally weird you out, and we can get back to my rapidly beating heart. Now you can imagine my absolute delight to discover, through the magical internet, an entire, vibrant community of pen and paper planner lovers!<br />
<br />
I spent the next few months in a happy online fog packed full of reading planner-centric blogs, watching You Tube videos and of course, drooling over photos on Pinterest and Instagram. I joined Facebook groups dedicated to people sharing their planner “set ups”. I learned the “plannerd” lingo, preferred stationery haunts and favourite planner brands. I navigated Etsy (another squirrel haven) and discovered shops dedicated to making beautiful leather planners, downloadable, customizable inserts and the most adorable stationery imaginable. I even ordered a special stamp all the way from Singapore.<br />
<br />
I can now proudly wave my organizational geek flag and say all this stuff makes my heart sing, while knowing there are many, many others who feel just like me. *happy sigh* For instance, just looking at this photo makes my knees go weak:<br />
<br />

<br />
So why on earth, you must be wondering, am I sharing all this here on my Stampin’ Up! blog?<br />
<br />
Part of me hopes that this will inspire you to dig out your old planner, or even a notebook, and give it a second chance. Use it to schedule your day, motivate you to complete tasks, help you track things like baby feeding schedules or your calorie intake. Consider using it as a journal, bucket list keeper, or scrapbook. Write down your dreams, set goals and make plans to achieve them. Use it at the end of the day to celebrate your accomplishments and to record things you are grateful for. Unplug from your devices for a little while and rediscover the joy of pen & paper. *cue grandiose music while stepping off of soap box*<br />

Ahem. Sorry. Got a little carried away there. OK stampers, so if none of that speaks to you, maybe this will… Can you guess what is one of the biggest things these “plannerds” people use to decorate their planners? Yeppers. STAMPS! Talk about a match made in heaven! Stamps are awesome in planners because they add colour/content/decoration to your pages without adding an ounce of bulk. Squee! The possibilities are endless! Check out this little decorating from one of my dailies last week. Recognize the Painted Petals set?<br />

<br />
Whew. Long post for me today. All of that rambling was to set up this little announcement of mine:<br />
Over the next few weeks, in between my regular card making posts, I intend to start sharing my ideas for using stamps in planners. I might even do a video or two.<br />
<br />
This will involve inviting my fellow “plannerds” to visit this blog (a big hello wave to those of you already reading!) As such, you’ll likely notice some of my posts will go back to stamping basics that many of you seasoned stampers will already know. Please bear with me, as many of the readers are new to stamping and I don’t want to scare them off! (sshhh..just hand them an ink pad and step away slowly…LOL) Hopefully I may discuss a thing or two you didn’t know, or may have forgotten. I will also be showing some things that are *gasp* not Stampin’ Up! specific, but I hope that you’ll still come along with me for the ride!<br />
<br />
So there you have it. If you’re at all curious over what I’m blathering on about, hop over to Pinterest and check out my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/meowchow1/planner-pizzaz/">“Planner Pizzazz” board</a>. You can also try a search for “Filofax” or “Midori Travellers Journal”. I double dog dare you.* Oh, and say hi to the squirrel for me while you’re there.<br />

The manufacturer is unable to correct the problem in a manner that Stampin' Up! is certain would meet their high quality standards and provide them with a stable, long-term solution. Therefore, after a great deal of deliberation and in order to prevent further disappointment, <u>the Blendabilities product line has been discontinued</u>.</p> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/%7E/t/0/0/stampinpretty/%7Estampinpretty.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54f95df92883401b8d0e80208970c-pi"><img title="6a00e54f95df92883401a511d84fbb970c-500wi" alt="6a00e54f95df92883401a511d84fbb970c-500wi" src="http://stampinpretty.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54f95df92883401b8d0e80208970c-320wi" /></a></p> <p><strong>BLENDABILITIES Q & A</strong> <br /><strong>Q</strong>: Will the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad (item #132708) and the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad Refill (item #133456) still be available for purchase? <br /><strong>A</strong>: Yes. These items will continue to be available for purchase.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> What are the quality problems with this product? <br /><strong>A:</strong> When the tip is welded to the barrel, the welding process can leave microscopic (invisible) holes in the marker tip. This leads to accelerated evaporation of the alcohol in the ink.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> Are all Blendabilities markers defective? <br /><strong>A:</strong> No. Most Blendabilities markers work as intended and I personally haven't experienced the drying issue, the markers I have work just fine.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong>  What if I have Blendabilities markers that are defective?  <strong>If you ordered them through me</strong>, please email me for assistance.  If not, please contact the demonstrator you ordered them through.</p> Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111905372458761752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077371708138670957.post-16770126173107264772015-03-10T11:43:00.001-05:002015-03-10T11:59:16.409-05:00Alligator Gel CardHere’s a fun card to give, kids especially love them.

Happy Friday! Is it cold where you are? I’ve been wrapped in fuzzy blankets for so long I’m sure I know exactly what a caterpillar in a cocoon feels like! Speaking of caterpillars…check out this new butterfly card! (See what I did there? They call me the Queen of Segues!)<br />

Photos don’t capture how very pretty this card sparkles. I got the idea for this after seeing a Christmas card on <a href="http://stampspaperscissors.typepad.com/stamps_paper_scissors/2014/12/stampin-up-gentle-peace-with-a-new-technique.html">Jan Tink’s blog</a>. Here’s a closeup:<br />

I’ll keep you in suspense for my video next week to show you how I did it. Mwa ha ha. (That’s my evil laugh!) I’ll list the supplies below…betcha you can figure it out!<br />
