I just got my new planner in the mail and I am LOVING it! It has roses (eek!) and gold foil accents. I like to color coordinate so I looked up which colors are in the planner. They have all the main colors listed in the catalog underneath the description, BUT THERE IS NO PINK COLOR LISTED?! There are definitely pink blocks and accents in the stickers and monthly title pages. Which pink color will go with the planner?! I was on a mission to figure it out.
Real Red is listed as one of the colors. If you look at the designs you might think, “Whaaa? I don’t see red anywhere…” I think I have the answer. It appears that the center of the roses is actually Real Red and then slowly fade out as they were water colored. Since Calypso Coral is also a color listed they may have also used shades of that in there as well, it’s hard to tell.
If you look on the monthly title pages (before the month at a glance) there are two distinct “pink” boxes of different shades. I cut paper strips to see which of our colors match the best. Flirty Flamingo is way off but I thought I would include it just to put any minds at ease. The lower box on the monthly title page is definitely Blushing Bride. The swatch nearly disappears on top. The upper box is a mystery. I think it is a lighter shade of Blushing Bride but not quite Powder Pink. I think you could use either one but as the official matching pink for the planner I would go with Blushing Bride.
I was constantly looking up which colors were the matching ones so I decided to make a cute little bookmark that listed the colors. I put it in the smaller Pool Party pocket up front in the planner. Maybe I’ll add some Gold Mini Sequin Trim to the top…that would be cute!
I used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to do some lettering on the monthly title page. I just looked up some letters on Pinterest and used thin strokes up and thick strokes down. If you’ve never tried lettering, give it a try! It was fun! There are lots of practice pages you can print out if you feel you need more practice. I just tried it on some printer paper before writing in the planner. I think it turned out pretty good for never really having done it before!
I also the Journaling Pens for the weekly pages. I like the .05 better than the .01 so that is what is shown here. If you like a finer point, go for the .01 pen. I also used some of the Basics Washi Tape Pack 2 (the green pack) because it has a roll of Lemon Lime Twist. I also liked that the set came with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive to go with my Daisy Delight paper!
I used some old Paper Pumpkin tiny stamps to show how much water I drank during the day. You could really use any tiny stamp. Those Paper Pumpkin stamps are useful; don’t forget about them! Show them some love.
