Journaling cards or Project Life cards are all over the place in the planner world! They are so cute and the rounded corners make it even more adorable. They can be used for a number of things in our planners, but that will be in another blog post. Today I will show you how to make your very own cards very easily!

Supplies Needed:

• Scrapbook Paper

All you need to do is cut down your scrapbook paper to either 4x6 inches or 3x4 inches. After that you just round the corners and voila! A perfect project life or journaling card!

September 2014 Tracking Calendar

Here is a little September calendar that you can print onto cardstock and put into your planner to track anything you want! It is 4in x 4in.

Some ideas for using this calendar can be:

• No Spend Challenge - to keep track of no spending day by day
• No Soda/coffee Challenge - every day that you go without a soda or coffee you can give yourself a star!
• Workout/Fitness Challenge - track your daily exercise by doing a specific workout every day or if you plan on doing a 30 day challenge mark each day that you complete it! 
• Photo Challenge Check Off - mark each day after you've posted a picture for that day
• Monthly Goal Challenge - have a new goal you want to accomplish this month? Keep track it here! Examples include eating healthy every day, declutter an area of your house every day, save a certain amount of money by the end of the month, and so much more!! 

Hope you can use this! Sorry it's a few days late!! Have a good month!

To-Do Hearts Check Off Flags Stickers - Free Printable

The last time I made check off flags, they were soley made to fit perfectly inside of the Erin condren squares. Since then, I have been using these stickers in both my ECLP and my filofaxes. However I have had to cut them down just to fit into my smaller filofaxes. So I made these and changed the circles to heart (for the sake of being cute) and made them a lot smaller in height. They are 1" tall and can still be used in the ECLP but also can be used in other planners as well. I kind of like having them this size since my to do lists in my ECLP are never that long anyways. I like separating my lists by section so I think this will work perfectly. Anyways here is the link to download these new heart flags or just click on the picture below! Please see previous post for printing here.

How to Make Washi Card Samples

When your washi tape collection grows, you wish you can take them all with you everywhere with you. But carrying several rolls in your bag or pencil case can get bulky quick and seems a little ridiculous. Many people take just enough samples to carry with them on the go. Or maybe you'd like to give some of your washi tape away to your penpals or friends to use, but don't want to pay for extra shipping! Read on to see how and what to make washi card samples.

To make washi samples simply wrap your washi tape around a flat plastic card. There are a number of things you can put your washi samples on. Some things that people have used have been:

• playing cards (Target has cute hello kitty ones that I use, it's perfect and is more than enough)
• old gift cards (start saving them now!)
• laminated cards
• business cards
• plastic bobbins
• laminated narrow plastic flyleaf
• These can be made by laminating a laminating sheet and cutting it to fit your planner's height and making it narrow by cutting the width in half, then hole punching the side to fit your planner. You can then slit the holes to easily take it in and out without opening the rings

Basically anything plastic and small enough to put into your planner's pockets. If you have a laminator you can make anything you want into a washi card holder!

The next step is choosing which samples of washi tape you want to have with you. This can get tough if you have tons to choose from. If you have the time you can totaally do it all.

Then you should group each kind of washi sample on each card. You can easily fit about 4 different washi tapes on each card (depending on the average width). I like to put similar washi tapes on each card like by color (pastels, metallics, blacks), by themes (sailor, florals, chevron, skinny), or even just by your favorites or good combos. It is totally up to you.

After that comes the hardest & longest part: Peeling the tape and wrapping it as neatly as possible around the card. How do we do that? By peeling a few inches at a time from the roll and placing it on the card and wrapping it straightly and neatly on top then peeling some more and repeating it around and around and around again.

I would suggest wrapping it around the card about 8-10 times so you have enough tape to last you a while (because wouldn't it suck to do this process all over again in a week or two?)

After that you should have a bunch of cards with 3-5 washi tapes on each! You can put them in your card slots in your planner or the back pockets.

To use your samples, simply peel and cut just like you would from a roll, except now your washi is flat and portable!!

Hope this was easy to understand and have fun decorating your planner everywhere you go!

Appointments Printable

I made this printable because I almost never use my calendar right away when I am at the doctor's office and they tell me when my next appointment is.

If you do end up using these I would love to see pictures. Tag me on Instagram @wenduhh_plans or #mswenduhhblog


Please do NOT share the actual file or file link. Instead send your friends here to download my free printables, thanks

Now with this sheet, I can simply just go to my "schedule" tab which has my monthly calendar behind it, and write the following:

• Date: the date the appointment is set for
• Time: the time that the appointment is set for
• What: what the appointment is (e.g., doctor, dentist, eye etc.)
• Reason: the reason for the appointment (e.g., 9 month check up, shots, etc.)
• Contact: who to contact, a number to call if anything, etc.
• Scheduled: this is for you to check off once you scheduled it into your monthly or weekly calendar in your planner so you don't forget!

I hated looking for the exact date of when my next appointment would be and writing it down, I could almost never find it quickly! Since my bookmarks are usually for this week or this month, and my appointments are usually 2-3 months ahead.

So here it for you to download in Full Size, A5, Personal, A6, & Pocket!

Hope this helps you in your future planning!!

How to Use Envelopes in Your Filofax

Every time I am at Target, I always have to buy their dollar spot stationery. I have a pretty big collection of their note cards and envelope sets. These cute envelopes  are perfect in the pocket Filofax. There are a number of ways to use them. It's best to put them in the back of your Filofax though because it does stick out a little.

Directions:

All you have to do is hole punch it!

• use a previous divider or paper as a guide and hole punch it on the side without the flap
• then put it in your filofax with the flap side up

Ways to Use Envelopes in Your Filofax:

Coupon Organizer

I only get coupons in the mail, so I get very few and only keep what I absolutely want or need.  I have it organized by store/kind. I labeled them by using washi tape and a permanent marker.

Here are my coupon categories:

• Arts & Crafts: of course! For all of my stationery goodies. These are usually just my coupons for crafts store like JoAnn's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby.
• Target: I sometimes get store coupons from target and I print some out from their website. So all of those coupons go inside this envelope.
• Household: if I ever come across cleaning products or paper products these coupons go into this envelope
• Fashion: Here I store all of my mall type coupons for shopping for clothes and shoes and accessories. I also store beauty coupons too like from ulta.
• Food: Groceries can get expensive so of course I like to get coupons for that. This is also for restaurants and fast food coupons.
• Kids: I have two little ones so any chance I get to save money on diapers, wipes, toys and such all goes into this envelope.

A Cash Budget System or Just to Hold Your Cash

I don't personally use this system as I don't like to carry lots of cash on me. But I've heard it's a great way to budget your money. The way it works is that you categorize all your expenditures and put a set amount of money in each envelope. That is all the money you have and can spend on that category. And once you run out of money you can't spend anymore.

For example if you have a section for eating out, you would say the budget for the month is $100. Whenever you go to a restaurant or grab a bite somewhere you would pay using the cash in that envelope only. And once that is all out am you can't eat out anymore. Pretty simple right?

Here is a website that provides an expenses budgeting envelope printable.

Great way to not over spend if you can stick with it.

Random Storage

Another way to use envelopes in your Filofax is as storage. You can store receipts, washi tape samples, stickers, and other little planner essentials you may have that just would get lost in the pockets.

How are you going to use envelopes in your Filofax? I hope this gave you a few ideas on how to make your Filofax work better for you! Thanks for reading.
