You can use our versatile planner stamps not only on planners and calendars, but on tags, cards, invitations, layouts, place cards, save the dates -- anything paper crafty! So, without further ado, let's get to peeking at my March calendar and planner pages (CLICK on photos for larger views):
I love, love, LOVE my 2017 MAMBI Create 365 Happy Life 2017 planner!
Way more user friendly than the brand I had last year ... the pages are removable which makes it very easy to stamp -- especially as the year progresses and the calendar gets filled up with lots of bumpy goodies!
This ... was ... SO ... MUCH ... FUN ... to ... do! Love the entire month-at-a-glance pages - so colorful and fun to look at again ... and again ... and again! I keep my planner close by so I can peek at it throughout the day ... and it makes me smile each and every time I flip it open! I adore the mixy-matchy patterned papers! (CLICK on the photos for close up pics!)
I stamped all the special days throughout the month using a variety of the amazing planner stamps available at Paper Sweeties!
I marked holidays and special days with glitter tape I cut into banner shapes. I stamped 'challenge' 'blog' and 'new product release' dates along with my shows this month!
I added adorable mixy-matchy Washi tape throughout the month to decorate and add some fun color!
And, how ADORABLE are Abigail and Jake dressed in their bride and groom outfits ... in honor of my son's WEDDING on September 10th!!! For tips on how to stamp and dress the dolls from Paper Sweeties, please watch Jill Norwood's videos HERE and HERE!

This card was so quick and easy to design and assemble ... I made several so I have some on hand for when I need to give a 'thank you' to someone special!

I die cut the stitched banner from the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts set, stamped the sentiment and then trimmed the edges to fit inside the square frame. Using the Thank You stamp set and coordinating Sweet Cuts die, I stamped the basket of flowers and note, die cut, colored and then adhered to base of card. To finish this little gem off, I added a couple of Marshmallow Sequins for a pop of sparkle!
