Oops Order from Cricket Paper Co.

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo,

Sorry it's been so long. It's been a bit hectic lately; last week I had two exams and Wednesday I leave for NACA in Tennessee! But without further ado, I would love to share with you all my recent order from Cricket Paper Co. I am so in love with her designs. They are so adorable. When I saw she listed Oops Bags at $5 for anywhere between 10- 12 sheets, I knew I had to get them!

& these are the lovely treasures I got:

Picture One Breakdown:

Top on the Left: December Ombre Checklist

Second to Top, Left: Party Balloons

Second to Last, Left: Red Floral Set

Last on the Left: Confetti Set

Top on the Right: Purple and Green Set

Second to Top, Right: September Ombre Checklists

Second to Last, Right: Targets

Last on the Right: Water Cups

Picture Two Breakdown:

Top: Lemon Tart Set

Middle: Toy Story Set

Bottom: Watermelon Set

Picture Three Breakdown:

VERY, VERY COOL that she includes one sheet of unreleased stickers with each oops order. It helps you compare with her usual quality, plus MORE PLANNER STICKERS.

I could not be happier with everything I received. It was A LOT of stickers; all totally usable and super cute and SUPER CHEAP. They come out to under 50 cents a sheet. BARGAIN!! I feel like this is a fun and affordable way to increase your planner sticker stock. Plus, it's also really fun to now know what comes inside! Lots of Etsy shops follow a similar concept of oops sheets or grab bags so be on the look-out. 

Props to Erica over at Cricket Paper Co. Your designs are phenomenal (even the Oops ones). KEEP IT UP!

Hopefully I can take a moment to tomorrow to post up my mid-week (a bit early) so that you can see some of these amazing stickers in action.

love you always,

Target Stationary Finds!

I am head over heels for target stationary. Check out my recent finds:

Starting to the far right there are some pads. My favorite is the "thoughts & doodles" one. The "thankful, grateful, blessed" one is being used for Bible study- it's so perfectly fitting. Then I got a pack of sticky notes that say etc. on top. To the right of that, I got THE MOST ADORABLE binder clips ever. I just had to have them. And below that, some Washi finds. 

Here is the Washi close up. The two striped ones were each $0.89! They're the only thing in this haul NOT from the One Spot. The bottom washi was $1 at the One Spot section. 

I also got a cute black tin (not pictured above) to keep my pencils in. 

Some Targets are now getting the Darice sticker books in their One Spot sections. Unfortunately, my Target is not up to speed with the Darice trend. 

Happy hauling,

Plan It Pretty Etsy Order!

Got my Oops Grab Bag from Plan it Pretty yesterday and I can just say how excited and pleased I am!! First of all, the stickers are super cute. Secondly, the grab bag comes with five sheets and between samplers and the grab bag, I received eight!

Pictured below, are all the fabulous things I received: 

I've linked all the items, if available to her Etsy shop.

Top left: "Thank you" Autumn Mini Sampler

Second from the top left: Plan It Pretty Fall Sampler

Second to last, left: Pastel Rainbow TVs. These look 100% perfect to me. I can use them all. 

Bottom left: "But First, Coffee" Seasonal stickers. Came missing one, other than that perfect, can use them all. 

Top center: Gold Boxes. (Purchase similar here.) One has a black square on it, and a few have a colorful browser around (doesn't show when you peel it though). Basically, can use all but one. 

Top right: November Acorn big background squares. These look perfect to me. I can use them all. 

Second from the top, right: Same November Acorn theme as above but smaller squares and some dots. Again, these look perfect to me. I can use them all. 

Bottom left: Pink, Black, & Green Paisely Set. Has a black square that covers three stickers partially. I can use the pink square that is affected if I place a sticker over it. The pink bar is barely affected so I can use that one too. Basically, can use all but one. 

THANK YOU PLAN IT PRETTY! YOUR DESIGNS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I'M SO EXCITED TO PUT THESE BABIES TO GREAT USE. 

Side note: If anyone reading this wants to order an Oops Grab Bag, this bag was only $7.50. All the stickers were matte. She brings these out periodically so BE ON THE LOOKOUT. 

Her ship time was super fast. I put in the order on the 13th and they arrived on the 18th- record time for anything I've ordered on Etsy. 

I'm so pleased with my purchase and I can't wait to use them. Thank you, Plan It Pretty!

Lots of love,

Ipsy Bag Reveal: September 2015

September 16th, 2015 I received my Ipsy bag for the month. Theme: Face Fashion. 

Below are the contents:

The bag is a shimmery chrome gold color and it's actually longer than the usual ones. 

On top of the bag, I received a cream blush in the shade Ash by Evio Beauty (that's the little black circle). Beside that is a Mini Brow Trio in Shades of Brow by pixi by petra. To the right of that, a Mini Matte Lip Crayon in the shade Nantucket Nude. That's kind of funny considering I spent my Labor Day weekend around Nantucket. This is also my favorite thing in the bag. 

Above the bag are two additional products I received. The one on the left is an Argan Oil by Octavio. The one on the right is a Flashmud Brightening Treatment by Glam Glow. 

Not my favorite Ipsy bag ever and the contents were all sample sizes which never really happens and is a little disappointing. However, still not too bad for only $10 a month.

Lots of love,

Shop #3: Plan it Pretty

I haven't received this order yet. It actually just shipped but I'm so ready.  It's an Oops Grab Bag with five sheets for only $7.50. Great deal and I've heard from other Planner Girls that most of the time the stickers aren't in unusable condition- few cuts off here and there or ink smudge. 

Mid-Week Spread!

Geez, what a dramatic last post! Let's lighten the mood, shall we?

Below you can find my mid-week spread for the Week of September the 7th through the 13th, 2015.

Voilà! There it is. As you can see, I did a little monsters the this week and I really wanted to feature the September colors of my Erin Condren Life Planner. 

My Planning History:

Zip. Zilch. Nada.... Okay, that's not entirely true. I've always been a lister (I make lists. For everything.) I also have always had an agenda, be it the free ones from school or a cute little one or now my ECLP (also known as the love of my life.) However, I say I have no planning experience because I recently discovered this new world of decorating planner spreads. Let me tell you, I was in awe at some of these girls' planners. I mean, they look so impossibly beautiful. I needed to try it out. So about three weeks ago I tried it out for the first time. It came out freaking adorable, if I do say so myself! This week it is my fourth spread and also my lightest because I was out of town for the long weekend and did a belated planning Tuesday evening which threw me off my game a little. But I love those little monster stickers so I do like the way the spread is turning out. 

Sticker Sources and Supplies Breakdown:

All the monster stickers came in a Sticko sticker sheet pack I got at Michaels. The fuschia Washi is from Walgreens and the green hexagon print duct tape is from Big Lots. The letter stickers that I used to spell Boston are from a scrapbook kit, I already owned and I can't remember where that is from. The little flag stickers are Matte and they are from Fleur De Lis Planners. The heart checklist (glossy) is also from her, along with the adorable little laundry sticker (matte)! I only own stickers from her, for right now. It was the first shop I bought from because she had this massive sale. I'm waiting on an order from Cricket Paper Co. currently. (You can actually see that in the side bar of the spread, if you look closely.) VERY excited for that. Finally, the color label stickers are the ones that come with the ECLP in the back. 

The pens I used on the actual white space of the paper are the Erin Condren Pens, but not the newer ones- the original ones. On the stickers and the ECLP label stickers, I used just a black Ultra Fine Point Sharpie Marker. 

& that is my mid-week spread! Hope you guys liked it. 

Besitos,

Simply Lissy, XO
