I thought the Flutterby Designs stencil was perfect for this page.
I think, that maybe, I was right!

Review - OrganizHer

Hands up if this time of year is chaotic?
Keep your hands up if you are scratching your head for ways of keeping on top of it all!
I was thrilled to be able to review some products from OrganizHer.

This company have lots of ideas to help you keep sane all year round and I was fortunate enough to receive three to review.
With a gorgeous range to choose from first up was the On-the-go family planner.

SharmaineKruijver_OrganizHer_OnTheGoFamilyPlanner

With great bold colours
The planner is the ideal size for throwing into your handbag
And has plenty of space to write down the zillion things that you need to remember.

The magnetic storage unit is perfect for any fridge!
You can use it for your bills, recipes, school newsletters etc
And when you read the words “write ‘n’' wipe capability”
You know that it’s just code for versatile!!

SharmaineKruijver_OrganizHer_StorageUnit

And speaking of “Write ‘n wipe”
How about a great monthly planner?

SharmaineKruijver_OrganizHer_WriteNWipe

This little beauty is also magnetic and can be added to any fridge door with ease.

SharmaineKruijver_OrganizHer_WriteNWipePlanner

I love that there is plenty of space for writing
AND
That the “theirs” space allows room for bigger families.

With lots of storage and planning solutions OrganizHer is definitely a welcome helping hand.

Disclosure: This is not a paid sponsored post.
I will receive a “on-the-go family planner”, Magnetic Storage Unit and a “Write ‘n wipe” monthly,
for review purposes, and all opinions expressed are purely my own

JOT – “MRS H”

A regular feature of Jot Magazine is an article written by Sian Fair.
In Issue 8, of Jot, Sian lists a few prompts for being creative.
I chose to upcycle a piece of cardboard from a pack of soft drink cans.
I loved the circles so used it as the base of my page.

Sometimes you really don’t need a lot of fuss and bother.
Sometimes simple is best.

Has no fuss and bother.

Added some water colour paint for this page, of our niece.
Loads of colour and pattern options among the papers
And I made use of them!

It’s no secret
I love script pattern paper.
I also loved the exclusive papers in the kits.
Made the most of that triangle one (and the wonky circle stamp set).

This page was totally inspired by the pack of Amy Tangerine rub ons.
I also cut up the pineapple Day In The Life card and used it for my journal strips.

If you haven’t checked out the Cocoa Daisy kits before
I suggest you go have a look at the store.
They won’t disappoint.
