Life’s a Beach

August 30, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 11 Comments

Hey everyone, I’m back to bring you my Design Team project for the month of August over at Trendy Twine.  The theme for the challenge is beach so I thought I would continue on, and get a few more summery cards out there.  My inspiration came from my friend Brigit.  I just adored her card, and couldn’t help making one just, well almost, like it.  I like her button better.  :p  Doesn’t this make you want to stick your toes in the sand or what!

Look at that awesome Trendy Twine in Krazy for Kraft.  One of my personal faves!  I am really surprised I am digging how faded this card is.  Didn’t plan on it coming out like that, but it’s growing on me.

Hope you enjoyed my card, and are getting ready for the weekend.  Happy crafting!

Supplies:
Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket
Krazy for Kraft by Trendy Twine
Just Beachy by SVG Attic
GB8 & GB10 Spectrum Noir markers for sand dots
Wave Paper Crimper by Fiskars (sand)
Silhouette Cameo (cut files & sentiment)
ZIG Millennium pen (sentiment – smeared on purpose)
Compass Rose button poorly made by me using an epoxy dot with clipart I found for free online

So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Per So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Personal size. This is for those of you who think it’s too narrow but don’t want to purchase a new PW binder. Franklin Covey Compact is the next best thing. 

If you have a FFC binder already, we now will have refills for you too!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

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?
