September 7-14 - mambi

Good morning everyone.  As you have seen before, I like to start planning my week with a color pallet.  For this week, I chose washi tape that would blend well with the color of pages in my planner.  I did not want the morning, afternoon, evening words on my days, so I used a thin washi to cover that.  I used the bottom section as a place to decorate.  The top and middle sections were for the days activities.  This is what my week looked like when I was done.  The black peeking up from the right side is the next weeks decor.  I do move my folders around.  I love the black one and find that I use that the most.  

If you would like to see more about my week in planning, please go to the mambi blog.  That is where I will be!

Fall Checklist Planner - mambi

Morning!  If you were raised by a mother like mine, you know how important it is to spring clean and fall clean.  Yup, twice a year.  I wonder if that is because she had three daughters that would do it all for her.  hmmm!  Anyway, she taught me the importance of washing walls (yup, I am serious) and base boards.  Both, the worst jobs ever, besides scrubbing toilets when you live in a house full of boys.  Ahem.  You mothers of sons know exactly what I am talking about.  

Anyway, I could go on about that topic forever.  Instead lets talk about planner stuff, that is WAY more fun.  

Today I am on the mambi blog (me & my BIG ideas).  You can go there to see all of the really cool things the other DT members create with their planners.  I really enjoy the to-do section of the Home Planner addition.  I did not use your typical planner items for decorating it.  I used traditional scrapbooking items.  There is no rule, use whatever you and whatever you like.  I used Create A Happy Life transparencies, Arrow & Speech Bubbles, American Sweetheart Mini Banners, Pocket Page cards and random washi tapes that matched with my plan.

Use anything that makes you happy and your planner pretty!  That is my rule:o)  See you again soon!

Straight to my Belly! - mambi

Today I have this clean layout over on the me & my BIG ideas blog.  Ok, so when I saw the sticker "You Know the Way Straight to my Heart," I HAD to use it.  Once I chose my photo and papers, I decided to alter the sticker by trimming off the arrow and the word Heart.  I added my own ending, BELLY, with mambiCHIPS.  Keeping my layout clean and crisp to make sure the focus was on the amazing title and photo of my favorite boy and sister.

Please head on over to the blog and see what other DT members have be been 

creating with mambi product.  See you soon.

Everything has Beauty - mambi

I unexpectedly have a layout over on the mambi blog today.  I created this layout of my chums little girl using mambiBANNERS, mambiSHEETS and mambiSTICKS for CHA.  On the me & my BIG ideas blog, they show you how it was displayed in their booth. Be sure to stop over to see.  HERE.

I used the Festive mini mambiBANNERS.  I sewed across the top and bottom to secure them.  The title is a large sticker from the Think Happy Thoughts mambiSTICKS. 

The Remember This is from the Here and Now POCKET PAGES™.

I adore the simplicity of this layout.
