They say that you have to live each moment as if it were the last, and it's true! That has happened to me this last week of June because it has been so hot here in Seville. I am very happy to be here again, on the Crate Paper blog! I must admit that I usually have a really hard time decorating planners. In this case, with the Maggie Holmes planner, it was really simple! I love the structure it has and how easy it is to document even with photographs.   SPANISH: Es verdad eso que dicen que hay que vivir cada momento como si fuese el último. Y eso me ha pasado esta semana de junio, esta sem ..read more

Hi! It’s me, Sandra, and I’m sharing a new inspiration with the amazing Day to Day Planner Collection by Maggie Holmes. This summer is going to be different from previous summers.

I used transparent foil and sequins in different shapes an ..read more

Hello! It's Jennie McGarvey back with you today.  This time, it’s time to plan summer and I am here for it! Summer is by far my favorite season and I love beach days, baseball, and time spent with the family.

Because of COVID-19, everyone is spending a lot more time at home than before. I knew that this Magical Forest chipboard house was such a perfect embellishment to include on this page. The overwhelming feeling leadin ..read more

Hey everyone! It’s Bea here with you today! I am so excited to share with you a new weekly planner spread as part of the ‘Summer Plans’ weeks here on the Crate Paper blog. To be honest, my day to day planner is just like me… not super organized and always in progress. I like to use the weekly planner pages as a mixture between a bullet journal and memory keeper. Summer is just around the corner, and I love to reflect the season changes in my planner with using different color schemes and style. Summer is all about bright colors and rainbows for me, so I grabbed my acrylic stamp set from the S ..read more
