September TN with Kim — Andrea Bethke

Howdy Fairytale friends! Kim here to chit chat about my planner set up and a tutorial WITH a video! PHEW.... let's get started!

First of all if you haven't had a chance to see this collection, here and a quick unboxing video I did as soon as this beauty hit my doorstep.

Now then, let's get the ball rolling on this pocket sized planner!!! I started out by making an insert cover using this dotted pattern paper. Fussy cutting this Bambi was a no brainer. I love that he's not brown but teal!! I added some tabs and a die cut to round out this first little dashboard.

I then used all types of her fantastic stickers to trick out my September monthly layout. It's a nice blend of form and function. If you look closely I made an acetate bookmark using the digital files from the collection. Hopefully you'll be able to purchase them soon!

The next piece of acetate I made I did one with a pocket for ephemera or list storage. Planners don't always come with pockets so this is a nice low profile alternative. All I did was place three layers of digital files on top of each other in Photoshop and printed it out onto acetate. I then used my template to cut it out and fold in the correct spots. I talk about it extensively in my You Tube Video but I also am sharing the template with you too!!!

The You Tube video is here when you finish this blog post:

Moving on, I created another acetate to go around my autumn insert. Instead of using a tab punch on this one, I used the tickets and die cuts to create my on special vignette!
