Becca\u2019s planners: Filofax, Midori, and more<\/h3>\n


Source: aquafilo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I use Filofaxes in Personal and A5 size, Midori Traveler\u2019s Notebooks in Regular and Passport, and some other planners.<\/span> I love all of them!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Becca\u2019s decors: stamps.
Q: How do you give your stamps a different look every time?<\/h3>\n


Source: aquafilo<\/a>, aquafilo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I ask myself this question every time I decorate. The background and decoration make all the difference. When I use a flower stamp with brown and green decorations, it looks very vintage; but with more colorful decorations, it\u2019s not that vintage anymore. You can always use the same stationery, but by combining it with different things each time you decorate, it gets a different look. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Becca\u2019s personalization: \u201cDifferent dashboards and dividers create different styles for each planner.\u201d<\/h3>\n


Source: aquafilo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In my Filofax, I use stickers and washi tapes I like, whether or not they match the style of the planner. In my Midoris, I usually use earth-colored and vintage stationery; sometimes colorful ones too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

IG photography lesson: \u201cI want my followers to concentrate on my decorations and planners in my photos, not the background.\u201d<\/h3>\n


Source: aquafilo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I used my white pillowcase as the background of my photos because it looked very minimalistic. But now that I don\u2019t have it anymore, I\u2019m trying my backgrounds with a beige place mat. However, maybe I will go back to the fur pillowcase again sometime.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Becca\u2019s IG community love: \u201cMy biggest inspiration on Instagram are my followings and followers.\u201d<\/h3>\n


Source: aquafilo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Every day, I get a lot of inspiration by scrolling down my timeline on Instagram and seeing what other people use and how they decorate their planners. Because I want to be an inspiration for others, too, I share photographs of my planners, decorations, washi tapes and all the other things on Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meet Franzi, aka @elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/h2>\n

Besides Filofax weekly spreads and washi collections, Franzi\u2019s IG feed is brimming with planner accessories as well as peeks of her studio.<\/p>\n

Franzi\u2019s Planners: Ring planners!<\/h3>\n
\n

There are so many systems you can use for planning, such as Traveler’s ringless systems or bounded calendars. I tried them all, but my favorite is still the ring planners<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n


Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

My all time favorite is Filofax\u2019s Original Planner Personal in the color Nude. It fits with decorations of every color and style\u2014I think this is why I love this planner so much.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most common thing to do with a planner is decorating your week.\u201d<\/h3>\n

First of all, planners really helps to keep you organized. I’m not a fan of planning my appointments with my phone\u2014you can lose the overview so quickly. But when you spend so much time decorating your planner, you keep your appointments in your mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

I know getting organized sounds obvious and boring, but looking up your busy schedules in your colourful weekly decoration makes you smile\u2014and that’s not boring at all!<\/p>\n


Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This is my favorite part: It really calms you down and you have so many ways to create a weekly decoration by using stickers, washi tape and hand-lettering.<\/p>\n

You can also use it for lists to keep track of your favorite tv shows, the best restaurants in your town or your goals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franzi\u2019s planner hack: store your washi tape leftovers!<\/h3>\n


Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We don’t want to waste a single centimeter of our beloved washi tapes! Just cut out clear and thick foil (like the ones you used for an overhead projector) so it fits into your planner, and you can stick the washi leftovers on it. It’s easy to remove them and you have a nice overview of all your leftovers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franzi\u2019s accessories: Charms.
Q: How do we get accessories like your adorable planner charm?<\/h3>\n


Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

My planner charms are made by a friend, Aie<\/a>. You can find everything that you need for making your own planner charm at your local stationery\/crafting store, or you can order one online\u2014even customized ones like this leather charm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franzi\u2019s planning tip: How do you effectively choose and pair washi tapes for a layout?<\/h3>\n


Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I really like to keep them somewhere I can see them while planning and decorating. That makes it easier to chose the ones that fit into the decoration and to combine different tapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a lot of tapes with special themes like travelling and eating that are easy to fit in with the week\u2019s plans. The more abstract ones with differents patterns and colours complete the decoration. And there has to be a girl sticker \u2014such as the ones from La Dolce Vita<\/a>. I really love them!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franzi\u2019s IG photography lesson: \u201cSwitching backgrounds while keeping a unified look on my feed.\u201d<\/h3>\n

Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

First, good lighting is a must for me, so I only take them in front of a window<\/span>. Second, it\u2019s important to switch up photo backgrounds but at the same time keep an unified look on my feed<\/span>. So, I chose backgrounds with the same colours such as white, beige, light brown and sometimes grey, but with different textures like wood or fabrics. I also use the same photo editing programs to create a unified style.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franzi\u2019s IG community love: \u201cThe planning community on Instagram has grown through the last months, and I love it.\u201d<\/h3>\n


Source: elfenbeinmaedchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We share with each other our latest decorations, our newest shopping hauls, and even send each other letters with washi tape samples.<\/p>\n

I only post pictures about planning and crafting on my IG account<\/span>, and I only follow accounts that are planner-related. This helps me get a lot of inspirations while scrolling through the feed and to share my work directly with people that are crazy about planning just like me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meet Merle, aka @planningwithmerle<\/a><\/h2>\n


Source: planningwithmerle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Merle\u2019s feed is full of rare finds like cityscape wide washi tapes and a distinctive woodsy aesthetic where color palettes change as the seasons flow.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Merle\u2019s Planners:
\u201cLeuchtturm bullet journal is for planning the week, to-do lists, trackers, etc.
Filofax Personal Nude is for decorating my weeks with pretty washi tapes and stickers!\u201d<\/h3>\n

My Leuchtturm\u00a0bullet journal keeps me organized!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Merle\u2019s planning tip: How do you go about designing a weekly spread?<\/h3>\n


Source: planningwithmerle<\/a>, planningwithmerle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

First, I always choose one big sticker (most of the time it\u2019s a pretty girl sticker from La Dolce Vita<\/a>), then some washi tape that goes with the sticker perfectly.<\/span> And then, I simply start being creative. One simple trick is to keep the two pages in a visual balance!<\/p>\n

Also, I keep samples of every washi tape I own in this book (right photo) to have a better overview. It\u2019s a good way to show someone your whole collection, perhaps when you are doing a happy mail with someone.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

IG photography lesson: \u201cYes, it\u2019s all about a good background.\u201d<\/h3>\n


Source: planningwithmerle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m always struggling with the perfect background. I really like wooden textures, but right now I\u2019m just using printed paper as backgrounds. I\u2019d love to own a real wooden desk some day!<\/p>\n

I personally like IG feeds where the background changes sometimes, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m just trying to do. We\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Merle\u2019s IG community love: \u201cI post my Filofax weekly spreads like many other users!\u201d<\/h3>\n


Source: planningwithmerle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And of course, Instagram stories and live streams are a great way to share ideas. I also like watching Youtube videos about planning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wow, these girls just showed us a whole new level of attention to details, whether you\u2019re personalizing your planner<\/a>, organizing your washis<\/a>, designing the pages, or sharing your results with fellow planner lovers.
