Erin Condren Planner Update (August)

I got my first Erin Condren planner at the end of April and wrote about it in this blog post.  I have been using my planner every day since then and decided to show you what this week's spread looked like now that it's done.  I'm also going to show you some storage ideas and talk about the Etsy shops I use for my stickers.

First, let's look at the pages for this week:

And next, here are my storage ideas for your planner supplies:

• First, I use a small photo album to store my stickers.  I found this one for $0.99 at Walmart.  
• I also use a craft caddy I found in the dollar section at Target for $3.  
• And lastly, I use a toiletry travel case to store all of my other planner supplies, like sticky notes and stamps.  I got this one at Target for about $20.
  

At first I was just writing in my planner but soon decided that I wanted to make things more colorful by using stickers.  My inspiration was one of the "Plan With Me" videos that Elle Fowler does on YouTube.  You should check out her videos for ideas and for coupon codes to the Etsy stores I'll mention below.

Here are the Etsy stores I have purchased stickers from so far:

• ScribblePrintsCo
• HelloAshleyann
• SweetKawaiiDesign
• Willowfields
• VintageGypsyRoad
• OneOrangeSnowflake

All of the stickers I've gotten from these shops have been a really good quality.  Just be aware that most of these stores have a 1-2 week shipment window (and sometimes as much as 3 weeks), so don't get frustrated if your stickers don't come as quickly as you might hope.

I've also learned to make my own stickers that are full boxes, like the two you can see on Wednesday.  I'll write up the instructions and post them in my next planner update post.  It's really easy and very affordable!  I'll also talk about stamping in my next post.
