..And the Truth Shall Make You Free

February 5, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner Leave a Comment

I know, weird title for a post on a card making blog. It is the base verse for our ladies’ meeting curriculum.  Every month we put our study sheets in a plain black binder.  I was having none of that, so I decorated mine.  Just something simple and clean looking.  Love the bright blue and green mixed with brown in the paper.

I don’t remember a lot of what I did.  I made this about six months ago and forgot to take pictures.  I know I used American Crafts for the patterned card stock.  I also used a micro Sharpie in place of the blade holder and let my Gazelle write out the sentiment.  The label is a Spellbinders Nestabilities Label One die with a few self adhesive pearls.

In hindsight, I should have reversed the patterns.  The flowered patter  would have looked better in front.  Oh well, I think it came out OK.  What do you guys think?  Let me know in the comments.

Happy crafting!

Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?

Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under a stack of papers. Don’t know how long it’s been chillin under there but I’m going to start using it. Great for quick notes and things you need to dump but don’t need long term.
Field research, planner style. Since the Coach no Field research, planner style.

Since the Coach notebooks are sold out, I grabbed this leather cover on Amazon to test the fit.
Good news: it fits beautifully (and it’s roomy enough for tabs).

Bad news?
I got excited and didn’t read the whole listing.

No snap.
No elastic.
Just vibes.

Luckily I’ve got elastic on hand… but consider this your reminder from someone who learned the hard way:

Read the full listing, friends.

Sometimes the best combinations aren’t planned… they just happen.

The Aquarelle Sky cover paired with Candy Rush tabs turned out to be one of those moments. The colors line up so perfectly, it looks like they were made for each other.

Just a little unexpected color magic.
Every tab is placed by hand. Nothing here is auto Every tab is placed by hand.

Nothing here is automated. We print, cut, laminate, punch, and assemble every order ourselves.

When you shop with us, two real humans have touched every single piece.
