Planner Hacks? Who else loves watching these kind of videos? I like seeing what people do with their craft in interesting and unusual ways, so I am busy making a whole series on planners!
A side benefit of this is that I am actually REALLY ORGANISED these days, and focusing more on planning out my week and month, and I seem to get more hours in the day! Go figure!
In a world where life is speeding up and time is passing at an accelerated rate, it's good to know we can use our time productively, and enjoy life more.
Have a wonderfully creative day, and I hope you enjoy my video series.

Here is the current playlist of all my Art Journal Tutorials for those who have requested it! I LOVE making art journals and playing with all kinds of mixed media just as much as I enjoy making cards!
I love documenting memories in a Travellers Sized Notebook. I made traditional 12" x 12" albums for over 20 years, and much as I love my old albums, they are very difficult to store on a shelf, as most bookshelves are neither tall enough nor deep enough to house them.
I like to print on my home printer, and we all know the cost of ink refills! One of the great things about the smaller sized canvas of a Travellers Notebook is that you can put much smaller photos into your layout and still feel that the photo commands attention, rather than being swallowed up in a plethora of "similar" shots (yes, I know it's hard to choose just one shot when you have snapped dozens of photos of that birthday event, or that holiday ) in order to fill the double page spread of a 12" album.
However, what I am finding now is that I want to document much more regularly, rather than JUST birthdays and holidays, and documenting daily life is really important to me as a way of keeping a visual diary of my life as a newlywed.
Paul and I are crafting a life together, and remembering all the simple rituals and daily routines is turning out to be fun!
Life is a matter of moments.
I hope you enjoy this process video, and if you haven't already subscribed to my Youtube Channel, please consider doing so, and if you have a friend or two who you think may enjoy my tutorials please share the video!
There is a whole swag of golden crafty goodness up for grabs in my January Challenge #makeitbright
Join my Facebook Group STAMPERS ART GALLERY and post your entries there. I would love to see what you've been making, any style, any products, any medium!
Look at this space just waiting for photos of your makes! In Stampers Art Gallery you can showcase your own creations, whether it's a card, a canvas, some mixed media, a 3D item, sewing, any kind of craft, art, any brand of products, any medium, any style!
Each month I will choose from among the best examples to showcase on the Aussie Stampers Youtube Channel as part of my MONTHLY MAIL CALL. Instead of receiving them via snail mail, I will post them for you from the Stampers Art Gallery Wall. Your makes could be featured in a slide show on my channel for the world to see.
Cool, right?
I will also be running monthly challenges (the January challenge is #MakeItBright). Every month I will be choosing the best for a prize of crafting goodies!
Stampers Art Gallery will be the space to connect with other crafters, ask questions, show your makes, and support each other's creativity.
