Pumpkin Treat Box

August 26, 2013 by Rebecca Wagner Leave a Comment

From the September/October 2012 issue of CuttingEdge Magazine.

Since I was part of CuttingEdge Magazine for so long, I have quite a few projects and tutorials I would like to share with you. Now that I finally have my craft room in working order and my son seems to be healing from his broken wrist, I can start posting new projects I have been working on. There will be some shots of my new room with the magazine stuff mixed in. My room is nothing out of Better Homes and Garden, but I love it. It’s my hideaway. Candi, you might want to skip those posts as I have an accent wall. I just couldn’t commit. ;P I also will spare you my nails. Ha!

I know the magazine pictures are not that great, but bare with me as most of the CEM projects were almost a year ago and we were keeping it simple. We grew and evolved, so we started using more color in the backgrounds as time went on. I can definitely tell I have come a little ways in my crafting (thank goodness). That is what is great about blogs. We can share to show how far we have come and encourage each other to continue on the crafty path towards even bigger and better things.

I want to thank my regular readers for sticking with me through the good and not-so-good side of my crafting adventures. I heart you all!

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?

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.
