<span style="font-size: large;">Well, hey there lovely people! Has it been a long time...there's been a lot going on since my last post in September.

<span style="font-size: large;">You should have arrived here from <a href="http://mjskraze.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mandi's blog</a>. Today, I am sharing a mini album I completed earlier last year all about a girl's night out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/19167166384/in/dateposted/" title="Girls Night Out 13"><img alt="Girls Night Out 13" height="640" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/525/19167166384_30025c8a69_k.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember having so much fun making this album. As I was taking photos of this mini album, I remembered how much I really loved putting this together with all the pretty paper and layers and embellies!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/19782470572/in/photostream/" title="Girls Night Out 2"><img alt="Girls Night Out 2" height="480" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/358/19782470572_f2e7a91ade_k.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time, when I used to subscribe to the Studio Calico scrapbooking kits, they used to stack up in my craft room. However, I distinctly remember using a kit (gasp, I know!) to make this mini album. It was hard to use this particular kit because the colors weren't really my style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/19603158449/in/photostream/" title="Girls Night Out 7"><img alt="Girls Night Out 7" height="480" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/502/19603158449_9dc9f34682_k.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But the more I started cutting paper and layering all that goodness up, I was actually using items from the kit! It was wonderful! And I know you know what I'm talking about-we subscribe to these kits because we absolutely need them, but then they start to pile up. But, boy, does it feel good to use a kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/19763586496/in/photostream/" title="Girls Night Out 4"><img alt="Girls Night Out 4" height="480" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/469/19763586496_2c760c8d47_k.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used mostly this Studio Calico kit, but I sprinkled in some Project Life cards, tags (because I'm obsessed), and a few embellishments from my stash.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/19601749018/in/photostream/" title="Girls Night Out 6"><img alt="Girls Night Out 6" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3793/19601749018_64b9ec772e_k.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoyed a peek inside my mini album and were inspired to use some of those kits you have stacked in the corner! Next up is the crazy talented <a href="http://rukristin.com/blog/" target="_blank">Kristin</a>! Make sure you go through the whole hop because some of these girls may be doing giveaways! Also, don't forget to wish <a href="http://kelsterjean.com/" target="_blank">Kelly Jean</a> the happiest of birthdays yet!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have been a little bit behind in my #30lists. Not only have I been behind in just writing them, but I've been behind in posting completed lists on Instagram! So, instead of just not posting my lists since I'm "behind," I'll just post what I have. That's something I'm trying to get better about: sharing what I have, even if it's not complete or what I intended to share.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, you guys will see my lists when I have them done! I've been really busy because of some life changes (which I will share soon). So, bare with me as I'm adjusting to a new pace of life.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I know you all know by now that <b>I AM A LISTER</b>! Any kind of list, I'll write it. Naturally, I just had to participate in yet, another round of #30lists.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I completed my first challenge in March 2013. I made a mini album for the challenge. I completed every list except for two or three. In March 2014, I again made a pretty <a href="http://sweetlymadedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/03/practical-scrappers-scrap-your-stash.html">kick ass mini album</a>. Although, I only wrote a handful of lists in it. I know, somewhere, I have the rest of the lists on sticky notes or Project Life cards. Someday I plan to transfer those "drafts" to the album.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This time around, I am determined to write my lists <u>DIRECTLY</u> in my album <u>EACH</u> day. <a href="http://sweetlymadedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/08/mini-album-mayhem-thirty-days-of-lists.html">I made my album really simple</a>. I'm not even going to embellish beyond what's already done. If I had planed to do that, I wouldn't post photos of the lists until it was done, and then I wouldn't write the lists in the album because I wouldn't have time to embellish, so on and so forth. This time, it will be different!</span><br />

I'm just feeling very grateful, excited, and happy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14867842479" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3896/14867842479_7cfe6f662e_z.jpg" width="392" /></a>
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><i>WATCHING</i>:</b> Criminal Minds on Netflix...I was so excited when I saw this show finally became available on Netflix! I used to watch it in college when I had cable. But, after graduation, I had to pay for a lot more of my things, so cable went bye-bye. Mr. Sweet and I haven't had cable for 4 years now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><b>READING:</b></i> A Time to Kill by John Grisham...I think I've seen this movie, but if I did, it was many, many years ago. I'm looking forward to watching the movie after I finish the book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><b>LISTENING:</b></i> Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...my saga of Harry Potter on audio book has almost come to a close. Which is convenient with the timing (more on that later).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><b>MAKING:</b></i> well, more like attempting to make-Christmas crafts...I'm trying to get ahead with the holiday season, mostly for my Etsy shop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><b>FEELING:</b></i> renewed...like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><b>PLANNING:</b></i> a major planner overhaul...I'm thinking I may need separate planners for different areas of my life. I know, it sounds crazy, but I've been doing some poking around on the Interwebs, reading different posts about reasons behind multiple planners exclusively for different life areas. Having one planner is just not working. So, I'll be trying out some new things. Don't worry, I'll keep you filled in along the way!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><b>LOVING:</b></i> the direction my life is going...like I said, I'm feeling very happy and grateful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Do you guys play along with the #currentlylist challenge? If so, link me up to your post or photo below!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">You guys should all know by now how much I love listing! I am super looking forward to September for another round of 30 days of Lists!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As a way to get more people to get the excitement going-c'mon, you know you want to!-a bunch of us are doing a blog hop. We were asked to pick a list from a past #30lists challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14855989478" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img alt="Untitled" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3908/14855989478_b509441a61_o.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div>

<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Weekly Rituals</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">every morning, once at the office, I get myself organized with my planner(s)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">one load of laundry a day</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">facial mask on Wednesday and Sunday</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When I was writing this list, I realized I don't really have weekly rituals. Especially not set days for certain tasks. I don't even have a regular/weekly friend date! I got to change that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I am a lister. Like, to the extreme.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As I mentioned in a <a href="http://sweetlymadedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/08/love-for-weekend32.html">previous Love For the Weekend</a> post, I registered to participate in the <a href="http://30daysoflists.com/">30 Days of Lists challenge</a> coming up in September. This will be my third challenge. Although, this will be my first go around sharing my lists in entirety. At least I hope. This past March, I shared my last-minute album and even a handful of lists on Instagram, but that was it. This go around, I'm <u><b>determined</b></u> to share throughout the whole month!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I knew I wanted to use my stash to construct my album. I didn't want to buy anything, even though I really wanted to. Using my limited supplies (as most of my supplies are packed away because our house is still on the market-ugh), I went through all my patterned paper and picked out my favorites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I didn't worry too much about the color combinations, although, I did a pretty good job at coordinating most of the papers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">A couple things I knew I wanted with this album:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4" x 6" size</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">my favorite patterned papers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Project Life cards, especially some of the new Heidi Swapp collections</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">these lovely scripted die cut numbers</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">These numbers were a set of free files I found on </span><a href="http://www.juleshollis.com/2013/03/lists-1-5-30-lists-march-2013.html" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">this blog</a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">. I love them!</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">kraft cardstock</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">at least one envelope (because I'm obsessed!)</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">And to help hold myself accountable to actually fill out the lists each day, I already printed the list of prompts. I printed the prompts on kraft cardstock, which I will cut into strips. I'll adhere each respective prompt strip on the same page as the die cut numbers. I obviously did not do that in these photos as a way to keep the prompts secret for those people that either like the surprise of the daily prompt or haven't registered for this awesome challenge (which you definitely should!). </span></div>

I also really, really enjoy trying out new systems of planning and staying organized. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As of right now, I'm using two planners: my beloved Filofax and my DIY planner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14972542651" title="Current Planners by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Current Planners" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3893/14972542651_c8d4b9420a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </span></div>
<div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Right now, in my Filofax, I'm using these <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/200001917/sep-trial-v022-personal-mon2014-filofax?ref=af_you_favitem">DIYfish inserts</a> (although mine are obviously August, as it isn't September yet). Next month, I'll be doing a review on those, so stay tuned for that.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Today, I'll be talking about my DIY planner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14787197158" title="DIY Planner Collage by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="DIY Planner Collage" height="211" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3882/14787197158_390bc875a4_o.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">My planner is inspired by the infamous <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/classic-life-planners">Erin Condren Life Planner</a>. I would LOVE to get my little manic planner hands on one of these. They are a bit pricey upfront, but it lasts you until the end of 2015. In my mind, it's worth it. <b>**I say that as I'm making my own planner from a notebook...**</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The only reason I haven't purchased one is because I'm trying to save up money for a DSLR. And Mr. Sweet and I are going to Tennessee in September for a wedding, which we're extending a bit as his birthday and our anniversary celebrations. So, I do mean it when I say I think the investment is worth it (even though I haven't used one); I'm just trying to be more financially responsible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enough about that boring stuff, let's dive into my planner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14950370866" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5563/14950370866_336a9c6347_o.jpg" width="640" /></a> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Now, I'm not the originator of using a notebook to make your own planner. There are various Pinterest planner boards I follow-such as <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/Sumana/filofax/">this one</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/lilnascar97/filofax/">this one</a>. But lately, this particular board has been my absolute favorite, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/christinesmith4/composition-book-planners-and-bullet-journals/">Composition Book Planners and Bullet Journals</a>. And this board is where I found a <a href="http://www.kylaroma.com/2012/01/moleskine-notebook-transformation-a-no-binding-required-weekly-planner-tutorial/">post</a> on the transformation of a moleskine notebook.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I used Kyla's (from kylaroma.com) <a href="http://www.kylaroma.com/2012/01/moleskine-notebook-transformation-a-no-binding-required-weekly-planner-tutorial/">post</a> as the additional inspiration for my DIY planner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Supplies</u></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">a graph paper notebook-I purchased mine at Staples for a whole $2</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">a ruler</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">a pen/pencil-I use a Sharpie fine point black pen</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Post-Its</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">optional: stickers, washi tape, alphas, patterned paper/cardstock, diecuts</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14789130208" title="DIY Planner Supplies by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="DIY Planner Supplies" height="480" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5551/14789130208_2963284080_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><u>The Inside</u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Before I even started outlining my month(s) and weekly spreads, I cut about 1/2" off the long edge of all the pages in the notebook.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14970245711" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3844/14970245711_7f4feb5607_o.jpg" width="300" /></a> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This was to facilitate the use of monthly tabs. I didn't want the tabs to stick out from the width of the front and back covers because I didn't want them getting bent or torn when my planner is in my work bag. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Monthly Calendar</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14973339625" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3836/14973339625_9a464476eb_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The most important part of my calendar page is the column to write my monthly tasks. I really like having a place to write these tasks that I don't designate to specific weeks until I'm ready/have time to work on them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14786786927" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3913/14786786927_76f377c3bb_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As my calendar is on the left side of my notebook, I had a blank page on the right. Of course, I couldn't start a weekly spread on the right, so I'll be using this space to write notes for the month. For instance, it's still August. I've been writing notes (and making a "September Bills" list) for September on this blank page to help me remember things going on that month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Weekly Spread for the Daily Stuff</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14972987642" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3912/14972987642_516f67e648_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This is how I outline my weekly spreads. There are eight large columns: one for each day of the week and one column for my weekly tasks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The bottom of my spread is for additional notes throughout the week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u><b>How I Use My Planner</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14786739598" title="Untitled by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3903/14786739598_6a38cd25cb_o.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Decorating your planner is completely optional. I love to add some color and personality with washi tape and stickers. I use Post-Its for reminders for the next week, for daily events, for meals. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I can even attach additional lists or papers to my weekly spread with washi tape, or, <u>this is my favorite</u>, with a paper clip in the notebook coil!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So far, I really like my planner. It's a little big, so it's not something I can carry around in my purse, but it does come to work with me in my work tote. This is part of the reason I'm still using my personal Filofax. It's much smaller and can fit in my medium/big purse (I usually carry big purses. I love them!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I hope this post has inspired all my fellow planner nerds to make your own planner; a planner that works for you! It's difficult to stay organized if you're using something-whether it be a planner or system-that just doesn't work for your lifestyle. Making my own has obviously helped me customize a planner to my wants and needs. </span></div>

Yesterday, I was up on the<a href="http://justtwomidwestgirls.blogspot.com/"> Just Two Midwest Girls scrap challenge blog</a> giving ya'll a closer look at this super cute wall part project for the August challenge! I figured I'd share it here on my blog too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14611748909" title="DSCN2863 by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="DSCN2863" height="400" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2899/14611748909_46a8e2d88b_z.jpg" width="300" /></a>
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Reading the <a href="http://justtwomidwestgirls.blogspot.com/2014/08/august-challenge-launch-all-letters.html">challenge launch post</a>, I was kind of scrambling to finish, let alone, start this challenge. I definitely did not give myself enough time for all my grandiose plans, again, which I discussed in the post linked above. Even though my original plan(s) were not the turn out, I still love my wall art piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I have seriously been obsessed (borderline unhealthy) with this <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131175">Coastal Cabana</a> color from Stampin' UP! Like, I don't think there's been a project recently in which I HAVEN'T used this color. I'm constantly gravitating to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Anyways, when picking the color scheme for my wall art, I was trying to think of to whom I would gift this. It's a perfect "print" for a nursery or child's room. And of course, I thought of my best friend's son, who's still pretty brand new. Blue and gray it was!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14611720779" title="DSCN2867 by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="DSCN2867" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3897/14611720779_12b2fc3ed1_z.jpg" width="300" /></a>
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Using my Silhouette Cameo, I die cut the letters of the alphabet using the Coastal Cabana cardstock and <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131202">Smokey Slate</a> cardstock, also by Stampin' UP! I used the Aharoni font and made each letter about an inch in height. The alphabet was typed in one text box, so I could resize the letters as one item, making everything proportional. I die cut a super cute Echo Park heart I found in the Silhouette Online Store. This was die cut in Coastal Cabana at a slightly larger size to highlight it as the focus piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I cut a piece of white cardstock-I believe it's the Bazzil white orange peel cardstock-to 7.5" x 9.5". I adhered the letters, alphabetically (obviously) paying close attention to the layout of the <i>I (heart) U</i> focus. You obviously want this in a diagonal layout. I replaced the "O" with the heart. I then cut a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock to 8" x 10", mounting the white piece of cardstock on top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">And there you have it! Super simple and easy. This project would make a great baby shower gift. Just plop this guy in a frame and voila!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Make sure to play along with us over on the Just Two Midwest Girls scrap challenge blog this month. Show us how you're using all those letters! Challenge details can be found <a href="http://justtwomidwestgirls.blogspot.com/2014/08/august-challenge-launch-all-letters.html">here</a>!</span><br />

I had a pretty relaxing weekend, at least compared to some more busy and chaotic weekends I've had as of late. Surprisingly, I'm welcoming the start of this week! It's another pretty week in my DIY Planner (a photo of which can be found <a href="http://websta.me/p/777514224786139939_244903129">here</a>). That really helps to put an optimistic spin on a Monday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14633703057" title="DSCN2851 by H&M_12, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img alt="DSCN2851" height="300" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2912/14633703057_ebeb376a2e_z.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I am back with a super cute and easy square thank you card! It seems like I can never have enough thank you or birthday cards. This is something you can whip up really quickly and is perfect for assembly-card-making. It's also really simple to change out the sentiment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>How To</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Cut your white cardstock to 4" x 8". Fold in half, making the card a square at 4" x 4".</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Die cut a banner using white cardstock. Stamp the sentiment using a teal blue ink onto the die cut banner.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Figure out where you want the banner with the stamped sentiment. This is important as it will serve as a focal point and a placeholder to stamp the additional, identical sentiments above and below the banner. Line up the straight edge of the banner with the edge of the card. Adhere onto card front. **Before you do this, make sure to adhere a thin piece of ribbon that coordinates with your stamped sentiment under the flag/pennant side of the diecut, making sure to extend the ribbon a little past the ends of your banner points. Again, this is to bring more attention to your focal point.**</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Once the banner is adhered, stamp the same "thank you" 3 times above the banner and once below in a pink stamp ink.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Using a standard size single hole punch, punch small circles out of a coordinating pink cardstock. (Mine matched, as I was using Stampin' UP! products.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Sprinkle and adhere those punched circles in the opposite corner of your stamping.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Using a similar size solid circle stamp as your cardstock circles, stamp a few circles in the same corner with a teal blue stamp ink. Make it a little haphazard or confetti-like.</span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><u>Envelope:</u></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Make using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board-follow the measurements for an envelope that will hold a 4" x 4" card. I used the same color pink cardstock I used on the card.</span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><u>Envelope Liner:</u></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Using the same technique in last week's tutorial, I made the white envelope liner. That tutorial can be found </span><a href="http://sweetlymadedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/07/make-card-monday-hello-my-friend.html" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">. On the envelope liner, I used the small solid circle stamp to stamp the confetti look in both the pink and teal blue found on the card.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So, there you have it. I quick and simple thank you card! I do have to say, I really enjoy this square size. I will definitely be making more square cards. Too bad that weren't such a hassle to mail though. Won't stop me from making someone's day with pretty happy mail!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.90909194946289px;">I love watching any kind of tutorial. Lately, I've been watching mini album tutorials over on YouTube. One YTer, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuSLCMH4NBu0wUKEzD6Jw3w">My Sisters Scrapper</a>, makes gorgeous mini albums, as well as creates tutorials every once in awhile. <a href="http://youtu.be/pLbHLZUAPeo">This</a> is something I would like to make soon. I see something like this going into <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetlyMadeDesigns?ref=si_shop">my Etsy shop</a> for the quickly approaching holiday season.</span></span></div>

I would like to sign up, but it looks like the first "kit" doesn't come out until October. Do I sign up now and hope it's everything I love, or do I wait (forever) for October to see what they have to offer...? #firstworldproblems</span></span></div>

This is something I'd like to do once a month. I really enjoy seeing other people's monthly favorites, so I thought I'd share my own.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>My purple <a href="http://www.filofaxusa.com/saffiano-organiser.html">Personal Saffiano Filofax</a></i>: She's not really a currently favorite, per se, because she's an <b>all-the-time favorite</b>. To put it in more appropriate terms, I'm obsessed with using my Filofax.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod1490012#reviews"><i>Philosophy's Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser</i></a>: Love. I don't know what else to say about it. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, as well as looking clean and clear. It will always be worth the money for me.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.target.com/p/29-secret-of-the-vine-serum-extract-2-oz/-/A-14892912#prodSlot=_1_1"><i>29 by Lydia Mondavi Secret of the Vine Serum Extract</i></a>: It's never too early to start incorporating some anti-aging (<i>I prefer to call it slower aging process</i>) skin care products. This serum is used to improve the skin's elasticity, making it firmer and tighter, all while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. It smells lovely, a light dose of flowers. I use it as a serum, under my moisturizer most of the time. I've also used it as just a lightweight moisturizer. It does not make my face oily. So far, I like it. I haven't used it enough to notice any differences in my skin yet.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.target.com/p/29-secret-of-the-vine-serum-extract-2-oz/-/A-14892912#prodSlot=_1_1"><i>Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Marker Pens</i></a>: I love using different-colored pens, even though I don't really color code anything when I'm planning or organizing. These are really nice and extremely fine point at 0.3mm. I use them all the time in my Filofax and Bullet Journal.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12772754&cp=12586965.12587148.16867236"><i>Bath and Body Works' Sleep Aromatherapy Body Cream in Lavender Chamomile</i></a>: <b>OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS SCENT</b>!

I'm back on what I hope will be a lovely Monday. Today, I have a very simple, clean, and quick card for you.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14739399156" title="Hello My Friend Card by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Hello My Friend Card" height="370" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2915/14739399156_70905481bd_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This card was so much fun to make! It came together pretty quickly after I figured out the colors I wanted to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">How To:</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Card</span></u></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Cut your white cardstock (8.5" x 11") in half at 5.5" on the long side. This, of course, gives you two card bases. Fold one of the two pieces in half. My card measures 4.25" x 5.5". Round your corners.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Take a piece of washi tape to section off the lower right corner of your card front. This is where you will be stamping the flower images.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using any small flower stamp image (I used Avery Elle's Oh Happy Day stamp set), stamp the flower a few times in the corner in one stamping ink color.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using another small flower stamp image, stamp this flower a few times in a coordinating stamping ink color.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">My stamp set-the Avery Elle set mentioned above-has a couple flower center stamp images. I used this flower center stamp to stamp a yellow center in the peach-y flowers and the peach center in the yellow flowers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using a small flower leaf stamp, stamp leaves on each flower in a green stamping ink.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Remove the washi tape to display that crisp "line" between white cardstock and stamped images.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>The Sentiment</u></span></div>
<br />
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using a peach-y colored cardstock that coordinates with your peach-y stamping ink, die cut the word "hello." (The color coordination of the stamping ink and cardstock was simple, as I'm using Stampin' UP! products.) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Adhere the die cut "hello" towards the bottom of the card front, making sure to overlap the word slightly with your pretty flower corner. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to add a little more to the "hello" sentiment. With another stamp, I stamped the additional sentiment, my friend, in black ink, right justifying this smaller sentiment below the larger "hello."</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Your card is done!</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>The Envelope</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14762027672" title="Hello My Friend Card by H&M_12, on Flickr"><img alt="Hello My Friend Card" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3885/14762027672_35360fe115_z.jpg" width="300" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Using the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board, I made my coordinating envelope for my card.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hint: the WRMK's board does not have the measurement for the common card size of 4.25" x 5.5", but I have those measurements!</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using the same colored cardstock you used to die cut "hello," cut a square 8" x 8". </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using the punch board, make your first score mark at 3.5", continuing to make your score marks around the square. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">To make the envelope liner, you're going to act like you're making another envelope, but with white cardstock. BUT, cut your square a 1/4" smaller than your envelope. In this case, cut a square 7.75" x 7.75". Still make the first score mark, using the board, at 3.5". </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Depending on how you will have your envelope open, cut the side flaps of the white "envelope" off. Then you're left with the middle of the envelope (or the top and bottom). Cut this piece in half. This will give you 2 white envelope liners.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I used the same stamps and stamping ink on the envelope liner as I used on the card, to coordinate the envelope even more with the card.</span></li>
</ol>

One of my best friends in the whole world lives in Milwaukee. It was my first time visiting her since she moved there in July 2013. I miss her tons! I wish we lived closer together, but we do a pretty good job visiting one another and scheduling many phone dates.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This trip consisted of talking, food, beer, sightseeing, food, driving around, a belated birthday cake, beer, lots of photo taking, food, baking, Hunger Games, shopping, local restaurants, food, walking around in the Historic Third Ward, antiquing, and did I mention food?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Here are photos. These were all taken with my phone, so not the best quality, but my trip is documented!</span><br />

(I know, the "happy" is questionable.) Let's kick off the week with some lovely card inspiration, shall we?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One type of card I seem to be creating a lot, as well as never seem to have enough of, is a thank you card. This thank you card I recently created to go out with a <a href="http://justtwomidwestgirls.blogspot.com/">Just Two Midwest Girls</a> scrap challenge prize winner. But, this card design can be used to thank anyone in your life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14466083508" title="Thank You Card by H&M_12, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img alt="Thank You Card" height="300" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2930/14466083508_b54425b9c5_z.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This card was really fun to make. I used my <a href="http://www.acherryontop.com/shop/company/we_r_memory_keepers/line/punch_boards/167025-Envelope%20Punch%20Board%20-%20We%20R%20Memory%20Keepers">We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board</a>, which I LOVE! If you don't have one, definitely invest in one. I've been wanting to create this type of envelope card for awhile, but never sat down to make it happen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I made an envelope, according to the directions on the punch board, for a 4" x 4" card. Using the envelope I created as my card base, I layered my patterned paper and cardstock inside. On my cardstock, I stamped the flowers using a gold metallic stamp ink right in the center of my square. I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and cut it into a thin strip to make a banner. I adhered that to my solid colored cardstock, layering three pink/salmon enamel dots on one end to balance the banner cut on the opposite end. Then, I added faux stitching along the edge using my white gel pen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14629762616" title="Thank You Card by H&M_12, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img alt="Thank You Card" height="300" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3924/14629762616_b72f7da743_z.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Once the inside of the card envelope was complete, I used ribbon to keep it closed. The tag you see on the front holds my message to the prize winner. You can definitely add your message inside of the envelope. I was thinking of making my top layer of cardstock a flip up, adding the message on the next layer. I decided to use a tag on the outside instead. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91771357@N05/14652840015" title="Thank You Card by H&M_12, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img alt="Thank You Card" height="300" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5509/14652840015_03fba1250c_z.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So, the person receiving this fun and lovely card just has to untie the ribbon and open up the envelope to see the "card" on the inside. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This card didn't take me long to create. I definitely see more cards like this in my cardmaking future! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">What new card designs have you come across lately? Anything you want to try or have tried recently? Let me know in the comments! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">xoxo,</span></div>
