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: 


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

I love faith-based products as well and Stephanie Ackerman has designed stamps and stickers as well as other products, for Adornit.  I also plan on incorporating these items into my planner and my card making as well:


Carolee's Creations - Adornit - Documented Faith Collection - Clear Stickers - Faith Word Strips - $2.12

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.


Carolee's Creations - Adornit - Documented Faith Collection - Clear Acrylic Stamps - Noted - $10.19
Carolee's Creations - Adornit - Documented Faith Collection - Clear Acrylic Stamps - Noted



Carolee's Creations - Adornit - Documented Faith Collection - Clear Acrylic Stamps - Dated - $10.19
from: Scrapbook.com

I also ordered several pages of wordy Adornit scrapbook paper that I I'll be cutting up and using in my planner.  Owls!  Yes!  Gotta love 'em, right?  I love all things owls so I had to grab some of these:



Carolee's Creations - Adornit - Nested Owls Charcoal Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Owl Ticker Tape - $0.84

Retail Price: $1.00

And, because I have the Be Happy Planner which has an emphasis on bee's....I chose this as well:

Retail Price: $1.00

Would you believe I didn't show you everything?  There's more stickers too, but you can surf through the Adornit section at Scrapbook.com and find lots of stuff.  Although, I do recommend that you use these with an Adornit planner, you can use them with any planner, obviously.  My goal is to share the products I love with the masses!!  I would love to hear from you, if you have an Adornit planner or purchase one and get it set up and blinged out with adornit.  I also have an Adornit Pinterest Board where I share all my Adornit projects and will be sharing upcoming planner projects as well.  Share with me on my social media, listed below.  Shop for all your Adornit items here:

The Soulful Side of Adornit

(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.)

As a relative "newbie" on the crafty side of things, I've been lucky in the last couple years to have met and worked with some amazing people.  One of those that I'm happy to call friend, is Carolee McMullins, creator of Carolee's Creations and Adornit.  We've worked together on a few projects now and I'm always happy to promote her amazing products.  I use them regularly, not because I have to, but because I want to.


I've showcased numerous Adornit projects, from the Art Play prints and wood, to the Art Play Paintables and now, the Adornit Art Play Coloring Books.   The Art Play Paintables were presented to the public about a year ago and have evolved quickly, starting with designer/artist Lindsay Ostrom, and expanded to include designs this year featuring new collections from owner Carolee McMullins, Stephanie Ackerman and Michele Hamilton.

Today, I'm focusing on the Soulful Side of Adornit, with a nod to longtime designer/artist/crafter, Stephanie Ackerman, well known for her Documented Faith series.  She's created a series of Faith based images that are perfect for cards, scrapbook, bible bookmarks and more.


This image that I colored today is from the Walk by Faith Art Play Paintable collection.  I chose to keep this fairly simple.   Sometimes less, is more, and I plan on using this as a sympathy or encouragement card.  The beauty of these products are, the design is already laid out; all you need to do is add color and your own special touch.  I love the open space on this image which allows me to get a little creative and add some extra's of my own.  I'm also using the Adornit Blender paper for my backdrop.

from: Scrapbook.com

As you can see, I've taken liberty with the image by adding cracks to the wooden cross, little dots everywhere, embellishing the lettering with a gel pen.... do whatever you want.  It's easy and fun and I'm going to step out on a limb and say, it's virtually impossible to mess it up.  You can't beat the cost of the Art Play Paintable sheets.  At under $2.00 each, with numerous images to work with, you can create quite a few projects and get tremendous bang for your buck.




Visit Stephanie's blog, for boundless inspiration, and get to know her, if you don't already.  Purchase some of the Art Play for yourself or a friend.  Coloring is relaxing, calming and helps reduce stress.  These quality artist papers can be used with colored pencils, markers, paint and more.  

If you really want to make someone's day, give the gift of Adornit Coloring Books for Christmas this year.  I have women in my life who are not crafters, just your every day mom, sister, friend, and they are loving coloring books for adults right now.  Another new product that just came out is the line of Art Play Washi Tape, so take a peek at those as well.  The designs are fresh and unique and I think you'll like what you see.  This is just one roll in the series, below.
