I've been finding it super hard trying to get into planning and actually abiding by the plans and tasks I set myself. I love planning but I'm just so lazy! (I blame university...)
I've bought quite a lot of stickers recently though so I've put together a little haul for you:
This is what the month at a glance pages look like and I'm actually very happy with this months because it's way more filled out than it usually would be. I've colour coded everything I could ever possibly find myself doing (i.e. correspondence, uni, errands, work, trips etc) and I've also started crossing off days just because it looks so satisfying.
This weeks spread is my first proper spread filled with stickers that match and it's so fulfilling to look at! Spending my Sunday nights (and sometimes Fridays or Saturday because sometimes I just can't wait) filling out the next weeks spread is so therapeutic and has turned into a little ritual. The stickers I used here are included in the haul, they're from the Watermelon Collection by EllieBethDesignsUK (all shops linked at the end of the post). Included was a sheet of full box stickers, a sheet of half boxes, and a miscellaneous sheet including the little "weekend" sticker, the watermelon icons and various other stickers. I decided to use it all this week because the British summertime is basically almost over (or will be soon enough) so this theme is more relevant now than it will be at the end of next month.
First up is this August kit I ordered from PaperLovingMommy. I have her July August kit as well and they're so super handy dandy and has everything you'll need basics-wise. Included is a sheet of headings and some flags, a sheet of check lists and flags, a sheet of weekend banners and checklists and a hydrate and checklist sheet. I prefer this far more to the July kit as it's very plain so I don't have to coordinate my other stickers as much, there isn't this glaring red and blue colour scheme to deal with. I'm definitely using the kit as a base to next weeks theme. I also bought a Minions sticker book from work that I'll use as the central theme to ensure I actually watch the Minions movie that week!
I invested a lot into theme-kits this week and full boxes because I love my spreads to be busy and have a lot going on. This pineapple kit goes very well with the August colours (so, yellow) therefore is very easy to coordinate stickers around. It's also just sooo cute and summery! I also got these florally full and half boxes from the Dahlia set by JuJuAllOver and some of her latte/frappe stickers which will in no doubt be used up within a couple of weeks judging by my Starbucks schedule. I also received this sheet of free craft stickers! I just love the sketchy designs, pastels are definitely more of a go-to than bright colours for me so this order is perfection.
This order from EllieBethDesigns is a little more practical, though obviously I still couldn't resist a cheeky themed-kit. I chose Autumn colours for the transitional weeks into winter, i'm so excited to feel so cosy and have my spreads totally match my moods. I also got two sheets of 'work' stickers and a load of hydrate stickers 'cause I'm trying (yet failing) to keep track of my water in take. It isn't going very well....
The above pictures are my most recent purchases from LilyPinkPrints. The little square, coloured stickers are school-themed with lots of little laptops and books and exam reminders which will be fab for my return to university next month (having my own dedicated stickers will motivate me a lot more, hopefully!) The gold and turquoise stickers are yet ANOTHER themed kit. I think they are pretty self-explanatory. Lastly, these little shrub stickers are the cutest things I have ever ordered!! Just look at them!
I have such a silly sticker obsession at the minute that's really hurting my bank account
