Southern Ridge Design Team Project: Shaker Dashboard

Hello ladies. Have you been bitten by the planner bug yet? You would not believe how much of my studio is now dedicated to all things planning.




I recently did a project for the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog and I wanted to be sure you popped over and had a look.

This beachy shaker dashboard is such a cute addition to my Classic Happy Planner. I will do a how to video when I can and put the link to it at the bottom of this post.

So off you go to Southern Ridge Trading Company's blog.

Fabscraps Design Team Project: Memory Lane Pocket Letter

Pinterest. Need I say more? Well actually I guess I will or this would be shortest blog post ever.

Pinterest introduced me to pocket letters. I have been busily pinning the amazing creations you ladies have created. All I can say is wow. The imagination that you guys put into those tiny boxes is awe inspiring.
I finally took the plunge and created my very first pocket letter using the Memory Lane paper line from Fabscraps as well a as their bird stencil. The rest are just bits and bobs from my stash.

Fabscraps Design Team Project Coffee Confessions

I am quite sure that the incredible ladies at Fabscraps were reading my mind when they designed this adorable coffee themed paper line.
Don't let the soft pastels fool you. This paper is fairly cheeky and celebrates all things #coffee and of course #bff.
This sweet beerboard book was perfect to create a very vintage looking memory book.
