Planner and Beauty and the Beast

I don't know about you but I was so excited for Beauty and the Beast! Ahh, anyway... here is my planner spread for the week!! I had to go all out. I actually got the printable from a website, who offers free spreads. I used my Xyron sticker maker to make them "stickers".  The website I used is victoriathatcher.com She has a ton! Great place and they are free printables! Anyways, here is my spread in all it's beauty. Now a movie review...

Beauty and the Beast: I loved it!! They casted this movie PERFECTLY! Seriously, you will not be disappointed. We went to a matinee on a Sunday and only paid $5.50 but I would totally pay the regular $11.50 to see it. It's great guys! There are some changes but it's not too bad. Go see it ASAP!!

Love Notes from Around the World

Anyone else doing this or have you heard of it?? It has taken over my life. Seriously! I started this in January and I'm still doing it. I spend all my time in Facebook groups and writing notes. So this is how it works.. You trade love notes with people from all over the world. Lots of people do it for their kids, sick ones, spouses, parents and all sorts. I'm doing mine for my husband and our anniversary. You write a love note and then take a photo of your surroundings. I have some from all over the world. STILL searching for MANY places all over the world. So if you see this and want to help out, LET ME KNOW!!! Thanks :)

So this is my note:

Chris,
Leslie's love for you is so big it has reached *location*

It's pretty awesome and I love all the amazing notes that I've received. I'm planning on using mod podge and putting them on a huge canvas! I have so many more that I'm working on a scrapbook too! It's REALLY time consuming but I've been enjoying it. Everything else has fallen away.. like this blog, my makeup obsession and everything. So, I'll be trying to post on here at least ONCE a week. I'll post some of the awesome pictures that I've received!!

Not All Who Wander Are Lost

I've been obsessed about learning all kinds of new things lately. Have I actually done it? Not really.. Things have been crazy for me. Anyways, I finally had to play around in my craft room. I love the outcome. It's not the best but it took a long time and I love it.

I recently saw some posts about watercolor crayons. I purchased some to try with Bible Journaling, which is another story. Anyways, I got this spring time pack from Michael's by Recollections. Gorgeous shimmer colors. I definitely watched some YouTube videos to learn how to use them.

So, these are the pretty great! They are supposed to be like the Faber-Castell Gelatos, which I also purchased. I have not tried then yet though. I wanted to learn with the cheaper ones!

This is what I made... I am obsessed with this quote right now. I'm not even sure why. I guess, I feel like I'm wandering though life but I don't feel lost at all. 

Holiday Craftiness. Great Holiday Season

I am really excited to post my crafts from the Holidays. I've got quite a few that I'm pretty proud of. I got my cricut and I immediately put it to work. I knew that I wanted to make some paper flower, shadow boxes.

First up, is my mom.

 My mom has always, always loved Amazing Grace, they hymn. She also likes the color yellow. I wanted to make it special for her because she deserves it. So, I made some yellow gradient colored flowers and some white for a little pop. I decided to just do a big script, Amazing Grace with vinyl.  Here's a picture.. 

This one took me about 2 days. It was my very first cricut project! So, I was learning how to use it and making this at the same time. It took a while. I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

Here is another that I made for my sister-in-law, to be. She loves mint and we both really like, The Gilmore Girls. So, I knew that I wanted to incorporate all that. I really liked how the gradient colors came out with my mom. I decided to do that here and use minty looking colors. I think that was one of the hardest parts! Anyways, here is how it came out. I used a gray colored frame because that's they type of décor that will match in my brothers house. I used white vinyl with part of the lyrics on top.

This next one was for a Secret Santa gift. This one was a bit tricky because her favorite color is black. I decided to do a smaller shadow box, since we had a $ limit. Instead of doing all black, I did some gray into black. This way it wasn't all one color. I then used some glitter vinyl and a script R, for her name. I think it turned out pretty well!

January Planner Addict Box Photo Challenge

Since, I want to win 3 months free, I'm all over this challenge. The Planner Addict Box is holding a January challenge on instagram, to try and win free months of the sub. It's actually a pretty cool challenge and I'm loving it so far. I'm about half way through now. Here is the challenge and some of my posts. If you check out my instagram: Disturbia0509 .. you can see all of my posts on there. I will update this, when it's all over and add ALL of my challenge day pictures!

Day 14. This was yesterday's post. My most liked so far! I think a lot of people love post-it/stickey notes. They are just so fun and I'm a tad bit of a collector :) haha.
 

 

 

 

Day 15: Storage. Today is storage and I showed just some of the spaces that I have planner storage. I'm a crafter, so it's kind of all over the place. This isn't my whole room but some of the best spots!😁😁

January Planner Addict Box

I used to have 3-4 make up subscriptions but I have so much that I needed to stop. My obsession has kind of gone elsewhere... planners/crafting. I've always been a crafter but this year, I wanted to CREATE much more. It makes me happy and is so relaxing. Anyways, the only sub box I have no is, The Planner Addict Box. This box is $18.75 a month, with shipping. I love it. I'm kind of a beginner and don't have a lot of stickers and such. Well this was my January box and it's amazing. One of the best boxes so far! This is my 4th box.

 

 First of all, look at all the items!! There's tons of stuff in here:

- Quote cards

-3 pages of stickers

-2 different sizes of washi

-6 month, mini calander notes

-'YAY' planner clip

-some shaped pictures

-THE DIAMOND PEN (I'm really excited about this)

 

This is a good amount of planner goodies for less than $20 bucks! They also changed their look and I really like the actual box too. If you are thinking about it.. I would pull the trigger now. You will have to wait until the April slots open, at the end of the month. You basically have to wait 2 months to get your first box. Once you get your first box, it's monthly.
