Kym Tsukamoto │ Planner Love with Blink

I'm here to share with you a fun "new" to me technique that I learned to do with my Silhouette Cameo. I learned about the power of "fill with pattern." I never cared for the patterns that came already installed with the Silhouette software, so I never did use it much. I then learned that I could import digital patterned paper into the software and fill my own banners, tags, and flags with gorgeous patterns from Little Lamm & Co.

For today, I used Little Lamm & Co. Blink digital collection to print and cut a few tags and labels onto white sticker paper. To cut the sticker paper, I use a "kiss cut" so that it doesn't go through the backing paper. Here are the settings that I used to "kiss cut" from Avery Full Sheet Labels:
Blade: 1
Speed: 8
Thickness 18



I often create 4 sets of stickers so I can trade them with my co-workers. It sure makes me feel like a 7 year old trading stickers with my friends.

These labels and stickers are all ready to get put into my planner for the new week ahead.

Have fun making your own stickers.

My name is Kym and I am so lucky to call Hawaii my home.  I am a teacher by day and a paper lover in my spare.  I started paper scrapbooking 14 years ago and digital 6 years ago, soon after my daughter was born.  I have now combined to two loves of paper and digital to create hybrid layouts.  My style is very clean and simple usually with a white background.

One Little Bird Guest Post

I am so excited to be the guest on the One Little Bird blog this week!  You can check out my hybrid pocket page layouts for Easter there now!

I made a few other things like some digital scrapbook pages and I forgot how much fun they are to do.  I have been doing hybrid so much. But getting a page done and just printing it to put in my album is so nice!

 Since my old planner is from 1994, I decided to upgrade when I saw the Kikki K had a gold A5.  I will still be using my old planner for my home planner.  With menu planning, cleaning, important info, and lesson plans for Ian.  The new planner will be my calender, create, and work planner.

 I used an October Afternoon 6x8 pocket page with 12, 2x2 pocket and cut off a column for my dashboard.   I used mostly papers from Crate Paper's Notes and Things collection for my dividers.  You can see a quick video here. 

 And I love Marcy Penner's Agenda pages.  She now has 2015 in her shop AND they come with A5 and personal size.  I also have a hot pink personal Filofax that I would love to use for a personal binder. 

Autumn is in full swing here and it is freezing cold when we wake up, then can get back to 70 in the afternoon.  Trying to get in all the fun outdoor activities we can just in case this winter is again always 30-50 below zero. 

I have new cards in my Etsy shop!  The Spooky cards are perfect for documenting your October and Halloween photos.  I combined watercolor and photos.  Printable PDFs are included.  The Spooky card set is on sale through Friday.  

I am also trying to get my destash stuff photographed for an Instagram sale.  Keep an eye out for that.  I had to make room in my craft room so lots of things need to go.

I hope you are all enjoying your Autumn or Spring! 

     

First Day of Kindergarten and Filofax

My Goddaughter starts kindergarten today.  I can't believe how fast the last 5 years have gone.  I am sure I will say the same in 2016 with Ian starts school. 
Krystin loves all things pink, cute, and Hello Kitty.  She also love to "organize".  Something her mom and mine blame on me.  I don't remember ever teaching her that word. 

I started with a pocket raspberry Metropol.    

I added a ribbon so I could put the butterfly on the front, with Velcro dots

I made some dividers with my favorite girly Zoe Pearn digital scrapbook kits.

And of course, I had to add a bunch of Hello Kitty and other accessories!  The only thing missing is glitter which would probably make her mom a little mad at me.  lol

She got to open her little bag last Sunday at my parent's house and had to call me right away to tell me how much she loved her "personal planner".  My parents had just set up a little desk for her at their house so the timing was perfect. 

I only wish I could be there in the morning to see her off to school.  But alas, I will be sitting at home waiting for the cable company to deal with a faulty modem.
