Encouragement From Adornit

I'm sharing another project for Adornit, featuring their new Art Play Paintables from the Gratitude collection.   These are part of the Documented Faith line, designed by Stephanie Ackerman and have such encouraging sentiments; perfect for sending an encouraging word to friends and family.

Although, I'm using water based brush markers to direct color and watercolor this image, the prints on this artistic watercolor paper accept most coloring mediums.  Take a look at the cake paints and watercolor pencils, found at Adornit, here.

Adornit has an entire line of Documented Faith products - from stamps, washi tape, paintables, stickers, planners and more.  See the entire Documented Faith line, here.

Watercolored Bookmark with Adornit + Big News

I'm so happy to share that I've been chosen as a brand Ambassador for Adornit.  Officially, I'm an Adornit "It" Girl!  More about that in a minute, but first I want to show you this pretty bookmark that I made using the Adornit Art Play Paintables and distress ink to watercolor.

To get that pretty edging on my paper, I simply ran just the top and bottom edge through my Cuttlebug die cutting machine with a shaped nesting die.  Then, I jazzed up some of the white space around my art play image by stamping with a background stamp and distress ink and spreading some of the color around with my water brush.  I've also added stickers from the Documented Faith collection.  For this project, I placed my stickers on white cardstock, chopped up my stickers and ran them through my Xyron sticker machine, for a little bit of raised dimension.  

Purchase here.

Now for my happy news.  As an Adornit Ambassador, I'll be sharing lots of new products in the coming months and showcasing my creations as well.  Adornit is pulling out all the stops with several new lines of product and has added a couple of new licensed artists who have developed some super fun crafty products to create with.  I can't wait to share all the fun stuff headed your way.

I've got an upcoming project that will be on the Adornit blog soon that features one of their brand new collections of Art Play Paintables and it just might have something to do with coffee!  Stay tuned!

Additional supplies: Tim Holtz distress inks and waterbrush, Tombow dual brush markers, Xyron adhesives, ribbons, metal key, background stamp (Two Paper Divas), hot glue, Prima decorative clip, Lifestyle Nesting frame dies

Nested Owls and Planner Pages with Adornit + Free Design Space Cut File

As promised, if you saw a little snippet of my decorative planner borders last week, here's the final result.  This is my September spread for my Adornit coloring planner that features those cute little scalloped edge borders.  Stay with me for just a few minutes and I'll share how to make those in multiple stacks as a time saver, which, if you're like me, time is a precious commodity!

The papers I'm using today are from the Nested Owl collection and are too darn cute, don't you think?  Grab the entire collection via the clickable link below.

Adornit Nested Owl 12 x 12 Paper Pack

In addition to these fun papers, I'm also using Adornit stickers and planner stamps as well.  I used my gel pen to color my sticker which is from the Month Titles Clear stickers collection and I'm using the "Dated" and "Noted" Planner stamps from the Documented Faith collection.  They are currently not in stock at Adornit, however you can find them at Scrapbook.com.

Earlier this year, I designed a 1.5" square with rounded corners to decorate my planner squares.  You can find the free cut file by clicking the link at the end of this post.  It's designed for Cricut Explore users and the design space program but you could substitute with a 1.5" square punch and corner rounder punch.

Now, with all this chit chat, let me get on with these cute little borders.  If you have a die cutting machine such as a Cuttlebug, Big Shot, etc., and a scalloped die, you can do this.

After cutting (or punching) my rounded squares, I placed them in 3 layer stacks on my cutting plate, then placed my die face down  so there's a scalloped edge from my die on both stacks.  Layering this with 3 tiered squares also speeds up the cutting process so instead of just one square being cut at a time, I have 6!  Be sure and run this through your machine a couple times to make sure you get a good cut.  I tried four layers but the paper was just a tad too thick to allow four in one cut.  As an added bonus, not only do you have the cute scalloped border edge, but you also have the remaining cut which was like a wave border.  I placed some of those in my planner as well. 

Use the borders on the top or bottom of your daily planner squares for that eye pleasing pop!

Devotion Journaling for Your Planner

(FTC disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links so, if you purchase a product using the link I may receive a small commission. I only participate in affiliate programs that feature products that I use and love. Your purchase price is not affected in any way, by using my links)

Have you been thinking about diving into Bible journaling?  I've been leaning in that direction and I think it's a beautiful art form, but I still haven't decided on which one to use.   I also thought about starting a devotion art journal, going so far as to scope out different journals here and there, locally.  I finally decided to use what I have on hand.  My planner.  I have a lot of great pages that are currently not being used; pages other than the 31 squares on a 2 page spread.  So why not just do some devotion journaling in my planner? 

I use the Adornit Coloring Planner which is a 3 ring binder and perfect for adding extra pages, if I need to.  I'm also discovering some really good benefits to devotion journaling in my planner.  Number one, I love to color and guess what?  There are pages to color.  Number two, I have a lot going on in my life, between church, work, my son's school activities and Band..... I need to be organized.  And number three?  It's good to keep your spiritual life in check, if you are of that mind set, which I am.  It seems like the obvious choice, for me now, is devotion journaling in my planner.  I'm using the Adornit Art Play image "Be Brave" designed by Lindsay Ostrom, Adornit Documented Faith planner stamps and Adornit Documented Faith stickers on my project.  Goodness, you can even get coordinating washi tape!

I have always had trouble remembering scripture.  As I get older, it does NOT get any better!  However, I've noticed with the devotion journaling, I'm remembering scripture better, making better connections and it's great to have these references in my planner that I can look back on.  You know, one day, when I'm long gone from this world, I hope my son will find these pages and have a better understanding of me.  I hope it fills him with joy and that he'll share these pages with his own children.  This devotion today focuses on Matthew 6:26 and is all about leaving your worries behind. 

I tend to be the big worry wart in our family.  Constantly thinking of things down the road, like college for the kid, retirement, a leaky roof!  What I know, and what I need to constantly be reminded of is this; I will never have control over these things.  In fact, God is in control and my job is to let him take care of all of it.  Pray more, worry less! 

Although I'm using an Adornit coloring planner, you can use the same products that I'm using today in your own planner.  Just customize them to your own needs on your planner pages, as I've done on mine.  Or, grab yourself one of the fabulous Adornit Coloring Planners; there are four to choose from.  I'm using the Be Happy Planner.  The differences in the four planners are this - a different cover and different dashboards inside to color for each month.  All of the actual loose leaf papers inside are the same for all four planners.  They are also not dated, allowing you to customize and start using your planner the day you receive it.

Adornit Planner Pages + Free Cut File for Cricut Explore

(FTC disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links so, if you purchase a product using the link I may receive a small commission. I only participate in affiliate programs that feature products that I use and love. Your purchase price is not affected in any way, by using my links)
Have I mentioned lately, how much I love my Adornit Coloring Planner?  Well, I do.   Today, I wanted to share with you my monthly spread for April.  Being on multiple design teams, I have to be organized and have my dates ready well in advance.   I've been thinking for awhile now, about coming up with a design for those little squares on my planner pages.  This month, it's National Craft Month, so what better time to do something special?  So, I made a design space cut file for Cricut Explore users, to celebrate this awesome month dedicated to crafting.  I'll have the file listed for you at the end of this post.



I wanted to make my monthly page pretty and colorful this month, so I chose cardstock from the DCWV Prism Play collection which has all the colors of the rainbow.  Once my Cricut cut all the squares, I decided to make a quick job of getting them into my planner, by placing them into my Xyron Creative Station.  It only took a few minutes to crank them out and they are each fully covered, edge to edge.  Love it!  Now I'm ready to place my squares into my planner.

 

I'm also using my Adornit Planner Stamps, designed by Stephanie Ackerman which includes the Noted and Dated stamp sets.  These stamp sets are so popular that they quickly go out of stock at Scrapbook.com, however you can also order these directly from the Adornit website or go here.   Remember last month when I put all my numbers onto an acrylic block and stamped multiples onto scrap paper?  I grabbed a pink paper that I had stamped on so all I had to do was add adhesive and snip my numbers.  Super quick and easy. 

Carolee's Creations - Adornit - Documented Faith Collection - Clear Acrylic Stamps - Dated

Those cute flowers?  They're part of the Documented Faith Dated stamp set.  I stamped and colored those with my Tombow dual brush pens, then fussy cut and adhered them.  Another fun little touch.

 

As an added bonus of cutting all those squares with my Cricut Explore, I now have a stencil that I can use for another time.  I've already got some ideas bouncing around on what I'm going to do with it.

 

 I hope this inspires you to get creative with your planner.  If you've been thinking about getting one, don't wait!  The Adornit Coloring planner not only fulfills that need to be an organized planner but also includes designs on artistic paper that you can color.  I'll be sharing my April colored dashboard soon so be sure and check back.

Here's the cut file that I designed, for you to cut those perfectly rounded 1.5" squares.  This is a free file for Cricut Explore users.  Simply copy and paste this once you've logged into your Design Space.  Enjoy!

Let's Talk About Planners.... and Planner Accessories!

(FTC disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links so, if you purchase a product using the link I may receive a small commission. I only participate in affiliate programs that feature products that I use and love. Your purchase price is not affected in any way, by using my links.)

Are you a planner girl or guy?  Are you a coloring enthusiast?  Sticker enthusiast?  Do you like owls? (Oh yes, I'm talking owls, too!)

If you said "yes" to any of the above then stick around for just a few minutes.  If you said "no", then stick around anyway, because I've got some fun stuff to show you and you don't want to miss out!

I recently purchased a bunch of accessories for my Adornit Be Happy Planner on Scrapbook.com.  It's a coloring planner which means you can color the outside and all the monthly dashboard inserts which have amazing designs on special artistic paper, much like watercolor paper.  You can use colored pencils, watercolors, paint, colored pens, markers, and so on.

Here's a link to the cover of my Be Happy Planner and details on my March layout: 

Adornit Be Happy Planner and Stenciling

I wanted to show you a close-up of some the items I ordered that I think you will LOVE!  I'm including affiliate links for your shopping convenience, starting with the monthly stickers.  These are great for ANY planner or even scrapbook layouts and cards:

from: Scrapbook.com

Here are a couple of the stamp sets I bought, also from the Documented Faith line.  I really like that these are generic for any type project though and will go great with so many of my craft projects.  I highly recommend that you at least add the "Noted" and Dated" stamp sets as basics for your planner. If these items are out of stock, you can also find them at Adornit.com.  Check the scrapbooking section and the documented faith section for stamps.  Planners can be found under Art Play.
