Kawaii July PnJplannerkit

Hi everyone! It's almost June 27, so that means your July Planners and Journals Planner kits are almost ready to be shipped. We've already started packing and soon you'll get these kawaii goodies! 

Before I go on and talk about the very kawaii July PnJplannerkit, I recently got my Turquoise binder from Planners and Journals and I am totally in love with it! It has a soft feel on the front cover, the pockets are nice and deep, it lays totally flat plus the color is perfect! Lol! It's my favorite color. Hihi. 



I also feel like it matches my July kit more than my gold Kikki-k so that's what I'll be using next month. 

Time to start talking about the kit! Well, I got my planner kit over the weekend and I dug right in. I passed by the Planners and Journals office then opened my box of goodies in the car! So the next two pictures were taken while I was in the car. Lol!! 




I always love how the goodies are carefully and lovingly packed. Packed goodies also adds to the element of surprise. Hihi. 

Here's a full view of my dashboard from the kit. You see, for this month, PnJ decided to go a little personal and have each subscribers name printed in Katakana (oops!! I made a mistake and said Katana --that's the Samurai's sword). Mine says "Chinky" ... so, Yay!! 


If you have a binder type planner, you will still have the week on 1 page layout..


Week on 2 pages layout..


and my favorite, the day on 2 pages layout. 

When I posted another peek of my kit over at Instagram, I couldn't stop raving about the inserts all because of this spread! I don't know why but I like it so much. It's just really cute! Hihihi. 


You also get a sticker sheet with the adorable kokeshi doll and hole reinforcers that you could easily insert in your binder. 


2 sample cardstocks with sketches by me (yahoo!!!), 2 pcs of 3x7 envelope and pocket that I will probably punch to add holes and add them to my PnJ binder, 1 MT slim washi tape and a Pilot Juice pen from Dolcesonline, 1 adorable kokeshi doll charm by Genndesigns, a cool Japanese paper doll bookmark handcrafted by Bookmarks.planners , a Pilot Juice pen from Dolcesonline and 6 meters of  glue tape.. my personal favorite and a MUST item for any planner girl. 


**Oops! I forgot to post, there's also an additional pack of origami papers. I guess you have something else to look forward to.**

That's about it! I'm just so happy and blessed to be part of the design team for the PlannersandJournals Planner kit. It just keeps on getting better and better. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for August's kit so I hope you subscribe!

Love this!

I received my Mommylhey stamps from the May release over the week and got really excited so I quickly stamped for my week's layout for June 22-28! 


I used the Pixie Alpha set to stamp the dates and the word 'blog', stamps from the Doodles Chores 2015 and Kawaii Weather are spread all around, that cute heart in a circle is from the Polka Stamps set and some other stamps from the older release. Oh and also used the banner flag and hot air balloon stamp that you see on June 25 and 28 from Marryl Crafts Heartstrings stamp set! 

I'm a little under the weather so I'm hoping this will help me be on a brighter mood this week.

Blossoms in June

It's turning out to be a wonderful month for me! I am so excited to have been chosen as one of the members of Mommylhey's design team and privileged to still be part of Planners and Journals design team member for the PnJplanner kit. 

On this post, you'll see how obsessed I am over June's kit. Although I had been pretty busy with back to school preparations, this month's kit helped me stay in a delightful mood. Since this month was so beautiful, I also decided to go back to my stunning medium gold Kikki-k. I thought it'd match pretty well. 

Let's start with the gorgeous dashboard. 

Isn't it so pretty?? I feel like this dashboard already tells how incredible the June kit is! I am in love with Aina Reyes-Paco's special brush calligraphy. If I could just borrow her hands... forever! 

This month's kit came with several add-ons made by the P&J design team...

A sheet of Flag stickers..


I was so happy that the kit came with these stickers. I love flag stickers. I use them a lot! This sheet is too beautiful though so it's taking me a while to use them up. Lol! 

2 sheets of cardstock samples.. 


The print on the cardstocks is beautiful! I'm also having a hard time cutting them up!!! I plan on making one of them as a divider and another as a page marker. 

A pack of labels and tabs..

 
I love these and definitely putting them to use. What's also awesome about it is that it already has a perforated middle so I don't need to worry when I fold it in half. I also thought I could just take them apart and have more tabs! 

A pack of ephemeras..


I can't even put into words how pretty it is!!! 

And of course the inserts.


I originally used mine for random planning but for future use, I decided to do my design team planning on this spread.  


I went back to my usual wo2p planning (can't wait to show you the end of my week!!)


And the ever so useful daily spread. Side note: I also love that P&J didn't put boxes to each line. That gave me freedom to use my list stamps from StudioL2e. You'll see more of that next time. 

Of course, true to it's objective, P&J collaborated with several people for equally awesome goodies. 

A pack of clear stamps by Kraftrina I have yet to try..


A pack of pins and clips by @chelsyandcasey and myself. 


and a beautiful floral tape from @crafteedandee that perfectly matches the kit!


I've already put most of them to use and you'll see how I did it in my future posts. Make sure you come visit for more! 

By the way, July's PnJplannerkit reveal is in 4 days and you wouldn't want to miss it! 

MLD picked me!

In the first week of the month, I had the opportunity to apply for a spot in the Mommylhey design team. I am very excited to let all of you know that I got a spot and I couldn't be happier. 

I am soooo eager and excited to work with such an amazing and inspiring group of people. I can't wait to share all the wonderful ideas and new techniques we will all try.

PlannersandJournals May Planner Kit

It's now much easier to blog! I found out that blogger has an app and I could easily add photos too. I'm a happy girl :)

This year, I was very lucky to have been chosen to be part of the Plannersandjournals team for the PnJplannerkit that was launched in May. The goal of the PnJplannerkit is to produce quality yet affordable set of planning supplies every month. We also work with various Filipino brands and artists to help produce inclusions in the kit. How cool is that?! 

For our first month, our theme was woodland creatures. We had the fox as our main character. Each kit included everything in the picture below. 


The kit includes a very pretty tassel clip designed by GennDesigns


and a self-inking stamp produced by PlannerandJournals for the kit. It has the phrase "current obsession" and I almost came to the point where I wanted to stamp everything with it. Lol! 


I wanted to experiment with the inclusions of the kit. So one free day, I just quickly cut one of the cardstocks, punched out some holes and made it into a page marker for the day on 2 pages inserts. 


Of course before the kits were released, I already knew beforehand that we will be be introducing week on 1 page and day on 2 page layouts. I have never ever worked with such layouts. I've been used to week on 2 page layouts so of course I was nervous as wreck but as the reveal date grew closer, I became excited. I knew I still "needed" to decorate my planner to give a sense of my identity so I searched for some inspiration for the different styles and designing techniques.

 Here are some of the designs I eventually made. 








I really enjoyed planning with my May kit, I'm sure those who subscribed did too. I've already started planning with my June kit and I can't wait for you to see it. Please come back for more :)
