It's time for the YNS Design Team to share some sneak peeks of this month's release!!

Are you ready?!?

    

I am sooooo excited about the set I'm showcasing today, and I'm hoping for many more like this to come!!

This is Love to Plan...

   

   

I have always used a planner, and this trend of stamping in planners is one I couldn't resist!! I also love these small scale stamps for decorating calendars, and making stickers with my kiddos!

    

I used this new set to get my February month-at-a-glance all set up for my planner...

   

   

This is just a simple calendar that I designed and printed myself (I also print my own weekly planner pages... I'll share more on that soon!). I like a very clean slate to start with, and I can add color with inks, markers, washi tape, pictures, and stickers. I was really thrilled with how this page turned out until one of my team-mates pointed out that it's a LEAP YEAR!!!! Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to scrap this and start over!! Sure, I could just write a little number 29 in the box, but the perfectionist in me would cringe every time I look at it! :P

     

For now, let's just ignore my major mistake, because I want to show you some of the fun details on this page...

   

I used the new Outline Hearts Die to cut several little hearts for my page. I inked all of the edges with a charcoal grey ink.

       

   

I used the Banner Die Set to cut a post-it note, and stamped it with the "NEED TO CALL" stamp. I love doing this for quick notes or reminders in my planner. Because post-its are thin, it works best to cut 4 or 5 at once.

     

  

This set has so many cute icons to choose from! I used the heart and arrow to mark Valentine's Day on the calendar, and colored it in with Copics.
I also marked off a vacation week in the middle of the month using washi tape, and added a little arrow I created with the smallest banner in the Seasons Die Set.
     
     That's all I have to share for today, but if you head on over to the YNS Blog, you'll find links to all the designers who have a sneak peek waiting for you!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
