Hello, and welcome to Altenew February 2020 Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing brand new stamp sets, dies, stencils, a cutting mat, and artist watercolors. If you arrived here from the talented blog, The Hedgehog Hollow, then you are on the right track. If this is your first stop, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog.

Take a look at my planner pages:

Documenting moments in your planner is a great way to keep all of your thoughts in one place. I just found out that one of my favorite stores is closing its doors in April.

The Alpaca stamp set is perfect for this particular memory. Lion Brand Yarn Shop in NYC is closing its doors after 11+ years. I’ve taken many classes there, bought supplies and lots of yarn. After I learned how to knit many years ago, Lion’s Brand was the shop to buy the best wool.

It’s sad to see them go, but I totally understand.

For these simple pages, I used the Alpaca stamp set.

Stamp the image four times using Altenew’s Obsidian Pigment Ink.

Then color the Alpaca’s bandana using the brand new Artist Watercolors.

Once the watercolor dried, stamp the sentiment using the brand new Ornamentals Bliss stamp set and the Hello and Hugs stamp set.

Journal a bit and done.

Winter? No way, I’m not ready for it. December 21 seems so far away, but in reality, it’s two months away. Time has been running so fast, that before we know it, Winter will be here.

I know you asking what’s so special about these planner pages? Oh, let’s take a closer look!

They are embossed!! I added white snowflakes to both pages for the added effect and texture.

The white on white is hard to see, but if you look close, you can see the many snowflakes. Just so you know, I’m begging Mother Nature for no snow this year. I hope my wish comes true.

Clearly Planned Week and Custom Post-It Note

Posted in August 2016, Clearly Planned by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! Today is the day for the big Clearly Planned Release!!

I have a lot to share so lets get started!

Full Planner Spread KT

My weekly pages need to be full of detail so that I don’t miss all of the important things I have to do each day. Repeat stamping with the By Appointment stamp set allows me to see and remember the small task that can get lost during the day. My favorite stamps set from this collection is the Sneak a Peek stamp set. I love coloring those little animals. They make my pages fun.

To see the entire Clearly Planned Collection, click here.

Here is a closer look:

First Page KT

I went with the color scheme of the pages, which was pink and black. I added gold because it adds pop to the pages. So I added washi tape to start off with. Then I stamped the little animals from the Sneak a Peek stamp set to fill in some pages. Coloring these images allowed me to bring in some my cardmaking skills to my planner pages.

Page Two.1 KT

Having a full time job, doesn’t allow me to do much during the week. The weekend is where most of my action happens. Its shameful that I only have two days. For this page, you can see what I have to do around my house and with my children.

Let take a closer look at some of my own personal style:

Page Two.2 KT

Watercoloring is my favorite medium to work with. It is fun and free of judgment. I created my own journaling card out of watercolor paper. I stamped and embossed using the Makin’ a List stamp set. I love how it turned out. It adds a piece of who I am to the pages.

I created another watercolor panel to die cut some butterflies out to add to the pages as embellishments.

For this cute giraffe for the Sneak a Peek stamp set, I extended the giraffe’s neck by masking what I already stamped and stamp only the neck again. Another card making technique.

Besides the new stamps and dies, the Clearly Planned line also has a collection called Sticky Situation. They are these super cute sticky notes that works well with the Makin’ a List stamp set. I absolutely love them.

I added the sticky note directly on my page to list out all of the things I need to do for the week using the same Makin’ a List stamp set. Its a check list so as I complete the task I can check it off and move on to the next thing.

Currently Post It attached to page by Kymona Tracey

Since my list is long, it will take me a couple of days to complete these task so adding it to two days in my spread is awesome. I can see what I have to do for those two days. Also if I need to change or add to those days, I can lift the sticky note and write directly on the page.

I have to say for a newbie, I really love how my pages turned out!! I’m impressed with myself and how pretty these blank pages turned out!!
