It is no secret that I LOVE my planners. I have always loved all things planners. Not only do I have fun using them, they are functional for my life.
Today I thought I would walk you through the 2 planners I’m using for just about everything in my life.
The Stampin’ UP Love Today Planner is brand new, and I can’t wait to dive into it.
My Erin Condren Planner is something I have been using now for the past 4 years, and every single year I feel like this planner gets better, and better.

Here are both of my planners. One of the things that I really enjoy about my Erin Condren planner is the interchangeable covers. You can purchase different covers from Erin Condren, or you can find many custom covers on Etsy.
I purchased this custom cover from a shop on Etsy HERE.
This year Erin Condren changed out the notes page at the beginning of the month. It has this really simple design with the circles, and then the lists section.
At first I wasn’t sure about the layout of this page, but after receiving my planner, and taking look at the page in person I think that it will work great for all the budgeting aspects of my Stampin’ Up Business.
On the other side is a customer sheet I created, and added to this planner. It is my blogging Tracking Sheet.
There is a monthly spread that fits between the notes page, and the start of the weekly pages. This monthly spread is really simple, and didn’t hold anything spectacular so I didn’t feel like it was worth taking a photo of.
After the monthly spread you dive into the weekly layout. The main reason I started purchasing an Erin Condren Planner years ago was because her planner was the ONLY planner I could find that had a vertical layout.
As you can see I have a hourly layout which I customize by using white-out, and washi tape.
I approach my planner layout the same way I approach my Project Life layouts. I take time to set up the layout several weeks in advance so that I can drop in the info I want during the week.
This way I’m not spending a ton of time fiddling in my planner each week. It can be functional, and playful at the same time.
I like to set up 2 months at a time. I have already set up all of July which is when I will dive into this new planner, and then I have also set up August.
My favorite things to use in my planner for decorations are the Erin Condren Sticker Books, Washi Tape I have on hand, and planner stickers that I have created.
I recently got a Silhouette Die Cutting Machine, and it is my dream to one day design stickers that are functional for those running a Stampin’ UP! Business.

Here is a video directly from Stampin’ UP! on the new planner that is in the Annual 2017-2018 Catalog. This video will show you how to put the planner together, and it will walk you through all the products that come in this kit.
I will be using this planner to track all my Stampin’ UP! Team items, along wth my social media items for my business.
I simply have found that I don’t have enough room in my Erin Condren Planner to track all the things I need to track.
This Stampin’ UP! Planner will work perfectly for to help me track team action items. The only thing I’m not sure I’m going to like is the layout. This planner has a horizontal layout for the weekly pages.
For my monthly spread in this planner I won’t have much, and I am thinking about using a color coding system to make it a little bit easier to figure out at first glance.
