Memento Mori

Hello, it's Monique here on the blog, showing you a tag.

For this tag I tried to make a clean an simple look, but it is hard for me to know when to stop adding more. So it might be a bit too much to be a real clean and simple tag, but I did like the result. The use of the words Memento Mori on the edge was something that really finished the tag for me. Of course the words and the skulls are a perfect match.

Let it Snow Planner Fun!

Let it Snow Planner Fun!

Hello from West Tennessee! We don't get much snow here but I fixed that by adding some beautiful snowflakes to my planner with Blank Page Muse Stamps in pastel colors. I love the snow but living in the south we don't see much of it. Let's get started!

Blank Page Muse Supplies

Let it Snow Words & Image
Mini Mandala Snowflakes

Other Supplies

Inks of choice (I used Distress Inks)
Acrylic Block
Xyron Tape Runner
Washi Tape
Watercolor Paper


First I used washi tape to divide my sections in the planner and stamp Let it Snow at the bottom of each page. Honestly it would be perfect alone on this page! Just an FYI I use the Xyron Adhesive to hold the stamps on the acrylic block. Just rub it off afterwards or use goo remover.

Next I used several pastel ink shades and randomly stamp the Mini Mandala Snowflakes all over the page and even off the sides.

Grab your watercolor paper and stamp Let it Snow at the bottom and then use the Mini Mandala Snowflakes to add along the right border of the paper.

Trim a wavy edge around the piece of stamped watercolor paper. Add some hand drawn lines and punch to fit into your planner. Voila! Instant journal card or to do list. If you laminated the card it could be used over and over. Just use Sharpie markers to write on them and alcohol to erase!

I hope you enjoyed my short little tutorial and be sure to check out all the links below for more Blank Page Muse goodness!!

I will be sharing more Blank Page Muse Planner layouts on my Instagram as well. 

Until next time....

November Planner Fun!

November always brings such warm thoughts and feelings. Spending time with family is always a good thing in my book! But one that must be done for all that to happen... a plan must be developed. The Fall is in the Air  and Everyday Clear Planner Stamps designed by Pam Bray are perfect! I can't wait to share my November Planner and shopping list.


Blank Page Muse Products Used:

Fall is in the Air Clear Planner Stamps
Everyday Clear Planner Stamps


Other Supplies Used:
Xyron Disposable Sticker Maker
Xyron Mega Tape Runner
Authentique 12 x 12 Calendar Collection (November)
Brea Reese Brush Pens
Momenta Explorer Cover and Inserts
Washi Tape
Ink Pad
Acrylic Block

I used the Brea Reese Brush markers to highlight and write the days of the month. I chose a several stamps from the Fall is in the Air set to mark special days and unused squares on the calendar. I used the November from the Everyday Clear Stamp set to stamp the top left of the calendar.

I used some paper from the Authentique 12 x 12 Calendar Collection and the Xyron Disposable Sticker Maker to make faux washi for the bottom of the November Monthly Calendar in the Momenta Explorer cover and inserts. I marked the paper and trimmed down to size and pulled them face up through the sticker maker.

I also added a few other elements from the Authentique  paper pack to adorn the bottom of the planner page. Some sparkly orange washi to decorate the top makes me smile!

The calendar planner page is finished by coloring in the stamped images.

I wanted to make the notes pages a little more festive and make the right side a Thanksgiving shopping list. I used several of the ephemera pieces in the Authentique paper pack. I adhered the pieces with Xyron Mega Tape Runner.

To complete the notes pages I stamped the tags and page opposite page with the beautiful flower and leaf border stamp from the Fall is in the Air set.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy November planner setup.

I will be sharing more Blank Page Muse Planner layouts on my Instagram as well.

Quick & Easy Fall Planner Idea - October 20th

New Blank Page Muse Fall Planner Ideas!

I'm so excited to share my first post with the Blank Page Muse Planner Team. These easy to use stamps, designed by the awesome Pam Bray, are beautiful! They are perfect for use in my field note size planners and travelers notebooks as well. The stamps give you the freedom to create a full monthly, weekly and to do lists. So let's get to the fun part...

Blank Page Muse Supplies Used:

Everyday Planner Clear Stamps

Fall is in the Air Planner Clear Stamps

Other Supplies Used:

field notes sized notebook

Black Ink Pad

Clear acrylic block

Colored Pencils

Watercolor Paints

Water brush

Pen

 Gather your supplies!

 Use water brush to randomly add watercolor to your page. I used a heat gun to dry because I'm impatient.

 Ink your stamp and add borders to your page. I divided my page in half to make two lists

 Stamp the leaf border, from the Fall is in the Air stamp set, all the way across the top and bottom while only using one stamp in the middle. We will add more there later. 

 I used the October stamp from the Everyday stamp set and the mug, cider, owl and fall leaves  are from the Fall is in the Air set.

I alternated the leafy stamp around the top and bottom of the page. The day of the week and dotted circle from the Everyday Stamps were used the complete the stamping. Use a coordinating pen color to draw lines if you'd like. You can choose to use as is or color in with colored pencils as I did. 

I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial. I can't wait to share more BPM Planner ideas with you!

I will be sharing more Blank Page Muse Planner layouts on my Instagram as well.
