Hi Friends,
My Love Story Planner from Stampin' Up! arrived last week, just in time for me to start planning in August.
I am a planner.
Until I get too busy. Then my life flies off the rails and chaos ensues.
But I am a better person when I plan, I remember things. I don't think about what's for supper and it helps me stay on task rather than procrastinate.
Currently I use two planners: Leuchtrum Planner + Leuchtrum Bullet Journal.
To see more about how I use these please see this post.
I will be continuing to use my two Leuchtrums but going forward my creative planning will be in the Love Story Planner by Stampin' Up! Today marks the day that I sort out how I can best fit this journal in my life.
Check out my video on my plans and review on this planner.
Upon opening, I was floored how beautiful this planner looks. The gold foiled polka dots describes my style. The watercolour floral design makes my heart pitter patter. On the scale o
f how appealing this planner looks is pretty much a ten for me.
The planner comes with a number of items including the binder itself, a book mark, some stickers, post-its and refill pages. I think its brilliant that Stampin' Up! gives the option to buy refill pages.
Once I began set-up, I noticed that the pages are designed to be arranged in a particular way. Once you have that figured out, then you can fill in all your months. Check out the video to see what I mean. Like any planner, you have to make it work for you. Here's my initia set up for August 2017:
What I love about this planner:
- You can start this planner any month and any year
- You can buy refill pages at any time
- Love the easy to see monthly tabs
- You can purchase a co-ordinating stamp set
- The styling: polka dots + fonts + floral watercolour
- A quick at glance calendar + notes area before each month begins
What I don't love about this planner:
- It's a 2 ring binder... will it last? Only time will tell.
- Is the cover durable?
- It's designed to be arranged in a certain way: Does that bother you?
- Horizontal daily layouts: I'd prefer vertical
Stay tuned on my Planner journey as I work through the kinks in this Love Today Planner by Stampin' Up!

This was just the push I needed to open my box and get started. I will use mine as a creativity/spiritual journal. Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteHi, I am wondering what is your impression of the planner now. I got mine last month and I love it. The initial set up was somewhat a pain and I think there was not enough of sheets in one month but I guess I can live with it. I like how you use the front month page. Esp the Card list. I always have everyone in 3 different calendars and then forgetting them anyway. I really hope to stick with this one and start to be finally organised. That's my main SU! new year resolution. As it came in October (the new year for stampers) I take it as a sign I'm on the right road.
