Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #518

 I am a planner girl.  Since I was 17, I have had some sort of planner.  Then in the early 80's I received an actual binder planner.  The company even sent new yearly inserts.  Well I have evolved.  

I have a Happy Planner, regular size (but I have had the really big one also) the whole punch and the punch to cover daily rectangles.  This is what my project for this challenge is all about.  My birthday month is coming up shortly and I have decorated with the image I picked out back in December.  So let's get this blog installment started.  Here are our sponsors!

Fred She Said Digital Designs

Prize~$10 Store Voucher

My Besties

Prize~3 Digi Images of The Winners Choice

I know I say this every time but these sponsors are the best.  Go show some love gang!  The links are below each image.  Thanks everyone!

On to my project.  I have used a image from Fred She Said called Daisy Cupcake. 

BIG CAUTION!  The post is extremely picture heavy.  Please let the page load fully so you can see how I put this thing together.

Here is the finished product.  I have colored each
cupcake with Prismacolor Pencils and Shuttle Art
Alcohol Markers.  

I had my Silver Bullet Cutter do a print and cut
on the cupcakes.  I have a Brother Label Maker
that has a clear tape cartridge.  I have
a cupcake for each birthday in the month of May.
These are put on the main calendar spread.

All of the tools and parts and pieces.

Each month section has 6-7 pages.  I picked out
some Washi Tape for each 2-page spread for
added strength.  Here is the May cover.  (i had
been saving this tape for a long time to use just
for this project)

This is the official Happy Planner notch/hole 
punch.  I was in St. Vinnies thrift store one trip
looking around and low and behold I found this in
the office supplies for $2.99.  They also had paper
such as notes, reminders and even a meal planner
set. Each priced $.99.  I was ecstatic!!!!!

I did not like the cover of the new 18 month
planner.  Since I will look at it, I had to make 
something better.  I have 8.5 x 11.0 Washi Tape
sticker sheets.  The top is the washi tape front. 
The lower is from a set of uplifting wall art I
found somewhere.  I stuck them together and 
laminated them.  Punched for the rings and I
have a very snazzy cover! I cut the word May
from a set of dies from Amazon.

Each month of my planner has a theme.  What
goes with cupcakes?  I thought a tea party.  So I
found a teapot coloring page and traced it into
Scal 5.  Print and cut 62 teapots.  Printed clear
numbers and made the calendar dates.

Here is the finished calendar page spread.  There
is lots more to my planner but I don't want it on
the internet.  

So that is it for this project.  I had a wonderful time making it.  Personal crafting time is precious, so everyone enjoy it!! So until next time,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.
