Required Supplies

Do you have all your supplies? Use this checklist to be sure you're not missing anything you'll need!

1. Planner I use The Happy Planner® as my memory keeping and functional planner. The examples I demonstrate in class use this line of planners. However, any type of planner works beautifully to capture our everyday stories
2. Planner Pen Any brand of pen you want to use for journaling is great. Use a pen that works well on your planner surface, as well as card stock or other paper products. I use The Happy Planner® black pen.
3. Photos We are going to add pictures to the memories documented in the various lesson, but adding them is optional.
4. Tags You can use shipping tags, decorative tags, scrapbook tags or tags you make yourself. In class I share how I add these into my planners with pictures and writing.
5. Personal Ephemera Collect any pieces of memorabilia that you would like to add into your planner. I am going to demonstrate how you can use them as a foundation for journaling. Some examples to collect would be cards, tickets stubs, notes, maps and brochures.
6. Project Life® Cards Any 3x4 or 4x6 pocket style cards can be used. We are going to use these to tip-in some journaling spots.
7. Washi Tape Any color, brand and style can be used. Use the color scheme of your planner week as a source of inspiration in choosing your washi.
8. Paper Bags In class, we will add cute, decorative bags into our planner to house journaling. I like to collect a variety of sizes.
9. Page Protectors - Designed for planners. I love putting together pocket pages! Check and see if your planner line has protectors designed for your planner. The Happy Planner® has two different sizes pre-punched for their planner and I use them a lot.
10. Planner Punch or Hole Punch Several examples used in class are added to my planner spreads using a planner punch designed for the disc bound system. If you use a binder style planner, a hole punch is useful.
11. The Happy Planner® Snap-In Tabs I use these adhesive tabs to add journaling spots easily into my discs.
12. Adhesive - Tape Runner
13. Scissors or Paper Trimmer
14. Scrapbook or Planner stickers and embellishments
15. 6x6 Scrapbook Paper Pad
