New planner/Journal/Filofax

I got bitten by the Filofax craziness going on right now and decided to use this method for my planner this year.
 



  Filofaxes are amazing but on the expensive side so I purchased a similar version called Day Planner, that of course I personalized to my taste. I decided on this type of planner for the versatility of being able to change your pages and to add fun accessories.


The planner brings your basic filler pages like calendar, reference, contacts and blank pages. I decided to add my own tabbed sections with my personal interests.


Using scrapbook paper I created this feminine but still fun theme throughout the planner. I also used inspirational quotes printed on vellum paper.


I tried to color coordinate all my other accessories using paper and Washi tape as decor.


Available online are a great variety of printables that you can use as add-on for your planner. Another solution is to create your own templates using your computer, like this bill planner.


On the back of my planner I created a post it storage solution using acetate. As you can see Post-its are my newest obsession.


I used color lined paper to beautify my planner. I also added a variety of fun items like pockets, paper pads and pictures.


I'm planning on using a color coding system to keep me organized. Pens in different colors and stickers will help me achieve this.


 It is all about making something that you would love and use through the whole year. Something to keep you inspired or that will make you daydream.


A more detailed video is available in my YouTube channel.
