How to add Journaling Cards to your Happy Planner!

Good afternoon!!! Boy, it's been such a LONG time!!! Life got a little rough at the end of 2018. 
But I declare 2019 to be a year of BLESSINGS!!! 

I am super excited to share that I am a Creative Team member for Growing Meadows. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me feel!! I truly love all of Tai's products. When you get a chance, jump on over to her Etsy shop: Growing Meadows on Etsy to see all the beautiful stamps, journaling cards, totes, and more! 

This year I have started off using 2 Mini Happy Planners. One for everyday life, and one as a Faith Warrior binder, to keep bible verses, inspirations, quotes, etc. I love using Tai's Journaling Cards in my binders so that I can enjoy them every time I open them up!

Pictured here is one that I laminated. While I was trimming away the excess laminate film, I decided to leave some extra on the left side of the card. I then lined it up with my planner discs and marked it with a marker so I could punch holes. After punching the holes I used my scissors and cut in a V shape to snap this onto my discs.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Blessed Friday!!

April in my MAMBI Happy Planner!!!

Happy Tuesday to you!!! I finally got some time to get to my MAMBI Happy Planner lastnight and decorate my pages just a bit. I used to sit and plan every Sunday evening, but lately my routine has been thrown off by something or other. 

Anywho.......here is my April spread. My colors seem a bit off in this photo, is washed out the word? LOL 

I did stick with pastels! I love starting out spring with pretty pastels. I made the ribbon paperclip to match. 

And here is this week's spread. I'm sorry for the low quality photos, I took these lastnight on my counter. 

And this is our "rescue pup", the shelter owner named her Audrey, after me! 

My husband rescued her last week from the median of a busy highway. Sadly she had been dumped by her owners and left to fend for herself. I fostered her for about a week, and today, she goes to a wonderful shelter in San Antonio to be adopted. 

She had to keep me company at work this morning until our local shelter, Judy's Ark, opened up. 

This morning she was going to get groomed, and then transferred to be neutered and then adopted out to a new, SAFE, home!

I really enjoyed having her, but with 5 dogs of my own, I could not keep her. 

I just have to remind myself that this makes room for more dogs to rescue/foster in the future. 

It's a bittersweet day for me. 

Have a wonderful day!!

This week in my MAMBI Happy Planner

Happy Monday to you!!! I am having a great Monday so far...I took the day to rest, clean and hopefully craft!!! 
Today I'd like to share this week with you. I have been loving my MAMBI Happy Planner.
I have the "GREAT THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN PLANNER". I bought this at Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon. 

Here is the week so far:

The printed paper in the squares is actually scraps of scrapbooking paper. I believe the orange print is by Basic Grey 4x4 paper pad and the woodland critters print is by The Paper Studio. These are older papers but I love using my scraps like this. The dotted washi and MAMBI stickers are from Hobby Lobby. The owl washi was received in  a swap and didn't have packaging. Not sure who makes this. The leaf washi I believe is from Target's $1 spot (last year). The round bday sticker is by Heidi Swapp, found this package at Michael's. 

Here's the left page. 

And here's the right page. 

Thanks for stopping by!!! 

Have a super BLESSED Monday!!

Disney World Trip in The Happy Planner

Gosh, I didn't realize it had been THIS long since my last post. Life seems to get in the way and I neglect the FUN stuff!!! 

Last week, we were at Disney World...it really was a magical vacation! I decided to pack my Happy Planner since I decided I would use it as a Memory Planner. 

First of all, excuse the dark photos, looks like it's getting ready to rain.

Here is the overall layout....

Those cute Disney die cuts came from a Instagram swap pal from Taiwan. 

The pretty pen was from another Instagram swap pal. 

Left side.

Right side. I even added one of the flattened pennies I got at our resort on Tuesday. 

Since I started using The Happy Planner I have been carrying my Rolodex punch with me. 

I used to use this when I altered rolodex cards..back in my crafting days. But now I love it because I can actually use it to add mementos to my planner.  For example I used it to punch a journaling card and our parking stub from the airport. 

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a blessed weekend!!!
