A Hop & a Plan with Anthony's Paper Craft

It's the second week for our Blog Hop with Anthony's Paper Craft . We hope you were inspired by our projects last week and that you like what we have for you this time around. Michael, Mike, Mary Kay and I are thrilled to be showing you more of the fabulous holiday stamps that Anthony's Paper Craft has to offer. 

I will admit to being a bit of a planner Gal - not crazy obsessed with planning but do love to get creative with my weekly and monthly layouts.  The stamps I used from Anthony's Paper Craft  are perfect for any kind of planner. I stamped directly onto my planner pages and had fun with this layout. The 2018 Daphne's Dairy Planner is beautiful on its own, but I still love adding my personal touch, especially for the holidays !!

• Using one of the images from  Snowman Trio  and the holly and poinsettia from Ornament Set 1 , I stamped onto my planner pages with Versafine Ink in Onyx Black. 
• I colored the images with Sharpies. I found 2 great Sharpie collections in the back-to-school section of Wal-mart.
• Simple Stories "Classic Christmas" stickers were placed on both pages of this monthly layout.
• Random strips of Christmas washi tape were placed on the layout also.
• A Carpe Diem " Reset Girl " decorative clip  CREATE was placed at the top of one of the planner pages.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my project for this week !! Head over to the other Design Team member's blogs to see what they have come up with.You can find their posts here :

Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste 1/28

Hard to believe that 2018 is already here and the first month is almost over.. Celeste and I are continuing with our blog collaboration and hope to have guests for you each month. Joining us for January is my friend Paula McLane. We met in 2014 when we were both in a wonderful group of crafty women - Mountain Plains Crafters. Although we have all gone our separate ways, our friendships have continued. Paula can be found getting creative on her blog - Scrap Addict's Attic She is an amazing paper-crafter, painter, mixed-media artist etc.. And we are so happy she is kicking off 2018 with us !!

This month Celeste had the idea for us to use the stamps we sent each other for Christmas. Of course, they each involved coffee so I found this perfect image online to use as inspiration for our guest.  I'm inspired each month by Celeste's projects and grateful for our friendship.

Celeste sent me the stamp Planner Gal - Stay Cozy from Unity Stamp Company. I knew right away I wanted to use her for some planner pages in January. I got a KikkiK planner for 2018 and it's been fun decorating my pages. I hope you like this layout. I am more of a minimalist when it comes to my planner pages. I don't cover the entire page; I leave white space.. But as you can tell, I do love using washi & stamps & stickers on my pages.

• I used a combination of Simple Stories "Carpe Diem" stickers - the Bloom Collection and    the Heidi Swapp Hello Beautiful Washi Shapes Booklet to decorate the pages of this week's layout.
• I stamped the Stay Cozy planner gal and sentiment on the layout with Memories India Black ink . My favorite PITT Artist pens and glitter pens were used to color the image.

I'm excited to see what my fellow bloggers have come up with for this post. Coffee images are some of my favorites and it was fun using them on this planner layout. Celeste's project can be found at Crafting Junky. I hope you will take a look at each of our creations, comment and follow our blogs if you don't already. Paula can be found at Scrap Addict's Attic.

This week's coffee is Pecan Praline and I am drinking it in my new favorite mug !! My friend Dana got it for me when she visited Canada and I will be sending her one from Virginia.  Thank you, Dana for enabling my mug obsession !!

Thank you once again for visiting Meticulosity.
