Organizing your Love Today Planner Kit
Have you seen the Love Today Planner Kit in the new catalog? It’s in the kits section, and since offering a planner is new you may have missed it. You can find it on pages 12 and 13. I recently got mine and got it organized. I like it! Over the years I have used a variety of planners, mainly for work. At home I generally rely on a calendar and a notebook for my to-do lists. I’ve tried digital lists, too, but I just like paper. I love that this planner has all the basics in place, but still offers so many creative and organizational possibilities.
Here are the parts and ideas for how you might want to organize and use your planner.
This is everything that comes in the planner kit: the Night of Navy gold foil binder, 12 monthly divider pages, calendar pages, page lifter, sticker sheets, sticky notes, photo protector pages, and two pockets. The binder size is 7-3/4″ x 8-3/4″. It all comes packed up in a nice little box. I suggest you pull everything out and organize the various pages, before you pull some of this and some of that to take blog photos!

Why Hello There, New Catalog
Why, hello there! The new catalog went live yesterday and I was among the thousands placing an order. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is the opportunity to pre-order select products a month before a catalog goes live. And I did. But there are so many things I like in the new catalog, I had to order again! Of course, I need new samples for my upcoming Open House, too. Of course.
One of the sets I pre-ordered is called Pieces & Patterns. (You can find it on page 41.) It’s kind of a goofy little set and not the style I normally get. But it caught my eye, and every time I looked through the catalog I had to stop and ponder what I would do with it. Every. Time. So I bought it.
Several of us got together for a swap with our new sets and I made this card.
The camera image in the stamp set and the camera design on the matching Pick a Pattern designer series paper made me think of the faux Polaroid frames that are trendy right now. And the idea of the dinosaur, with his short little arms, taking a selfie made me chuckle. Yes, it doesn’t happen often, but sometimes a card will have a backstory. Is it just me?
