So i am very new to the sticker planner girl community, although i am a long time sticker lover and have always been an avid watcher of PWMs and Sticker hauls on youtube. Elle from Glamplan being my guide and guilty pleasure channel for ages.

These are things i have learned so far:

I am terrible at laying down stickers

Stickers are expensive

Planning is time consuming

Planning can be stressful!

I am fussy

The community is amazing – Literally everyone is a fantastic person, caring, loving and supportive and i am so grateful to have found such an outlet and group of people to vent to and seek assurance from

I need to search etsy more

I need to reach out more

You can cover any mistake if you need to

Boring things can be fun and pretty

So admittedly some of these things are superficial at best, but hey, its my planner, only i need to see it and only i need to use it, so what if i like pretty stickers, whatever motivates me to do something is a bonus!

So here are a couple images of my first attempt to a more recent spread, so you can see the slow transformation. Shout out to Sugarloop (NZ based) and Lovecloud Creative (AUS based) for the beautiful stickers! There is a lot to work on and to work out, and my style i imagine will mature, but we all have to start somewhere!

Hello everyone!

I’m sure a lot of you have seen “plan with me” videos on YouTube or planner sticker shops on Etsy. I discovered this trend around April when Elle Fowler started making her planner videos. I was instantly hooked. I had no idea planning your week could be so much fun!

In June I decided to finally invest in my own Erin Condren Life Planner. Just so you know, these things can be a little spendy (mine was about $55-60), but in my opinion they are totally worth it!

Immediately after ordering my ECLP, I ordered - don’t make fun of me - about $100 worth of stickers from different Etsy shops. There were so many cute things, I couldn’t just settle on one! I was ecstatic when everything came in the mail and I instantly fell in love with my weekly planner spreads I had put together.

After a few months of using almost only Etsy stickers, I decided to save myself some money and start making my own stickers. There are all kinds of fancy die cutting machines and sticker printers out there, but most of them are pretty expensive. So I figured that while I’m saving up for a sticker printer, I’d just buy some sticker paper (you can get it at any office supply store) and use my computer printer.

I came to realize that making stickers is a very long process, especially if you don’t have the ideal equipment for it. I spent about four hours making one weekly kit for myself. That being said though, I am so proud of what I made and of how much money I saved.

Through my experience with “glam planning” as some call it, I have found that sitting down once a week and decorating my planner is very calming and therapeutic. It also gives me a chance to express my creativity, since the job I’m currently at doesn’t really allow for much creativity at all. On a little side note, blogging has also been a great way for me to show my creative side, and I’m really enjoying it so far! I hope you guys are too.

Are any of you into planner decorating? If so, what are your favorite places to get stickers, washi tape, stamps, etc.? Have you found planners you like more than the ECLP? Please let me know in a comment!

Thanks so much for reading!
