I’m not really a planner girl. Most of the time I’ll just forget to take it with me. And that’s not so useful when you need to make an appointment. So for me the digital planners on your phone are a great solution. I’ve got it with me and I can sync it with my computer etc.
I have to admit though, that lately… I’ve been thinking about getting a ‘paper planner’ again. I’m finding myself so drawn to all those amazingly beautiful planners that are out these days, with so much room for personalization.
So today I’m going to take a look at some of the latest planner trends. In comparison with these planners, my digital one seems so boring.
You might know Christy Tomlinson for her amazing mixed media work, but she has some beautiful planner ideas too. She adds lovely colorful images that just brighten up the planner.

Planners are becoming a way to document your life. You can incorporate your personal memories next to your appointments. And… never a dull moment when you have so much inspiration at hand ;).

Or add motivational quotes, like Filoeyecandi did on this page. (She has an awesome Instagram account too).

I’ve noticed all the planners coming out from companies across the board and just love the organizational fun they add to a persons day. My problem would be that I would spend way to much time working on making my planner beautiful and I wouldn’t spend as much time crafting. These are all awesome!
I love my SCT planner that I get every year! I wouldn’t use a planner because it would just be one more thing to remember! LOL
great article on the planners
