Happy Planner Layout | Color Me Happy Sticker Book

Next weekend kicks off my birthday month celebration and the start of our long-awaited vacation—which called for the happiest, most colorful planner spread I could imagine! I reached for my Happy Planner Color Me Happy sticker book, and it did not disappoint.







This Week’s Spread




I filled my pages with all the feels:

  • “grateful for small things, big things, and everything in between”

  • “I’m every share of happy!”

  • “stay color full”

  • “color me happy”

  • “happy happy happy happy happy happy”


 


These bright sentiments perfectly capture my mood as I countdown to birthday fun and packing for sunshine.



Workshop Recap & New Cricut Nook



The other day I joined a fun painting workshop—read the full recap here! And since we were already in Khobar, I decided to finally cleare out my dresser and roll in a new table on wheels for my Cricut machines (thank you, Cricut MEA!). It’s so handy to move around, and now that it’s freed up, my DT paper and embellishment boxes sit out of the way on my old dresser top. Look at all that clear workspace—and more room for Lucky to lounge while I craft! Bonus: my Distress Oxides no longer against the wall, which I think dries them up.











Check out how they looked before here.

What I’m Reading


As I mentioned on last week’s layout blog, I will start reading again so Ton and I picked up Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez where we left off—and I just finished The Girls Who Disappeared. Now I’m diving into Then She Vanishes, both by Claire Douglas—her blurbs caught my eye at Jarir, so of course I grabbed the ebook! That's what I do when deciding what to read - go to the bookstore and read on blurbs or checkout my fave reading Facebook groups.



Last Week’s Projects Round-Up


I’ve decided to share my previous week’s makes alongside each planner spread. Here’s what kept me busy recently:

  • Wicked ephemera / cupcake toppers for our CCSC swap



  • Disc-bound Friends journal using Kelly Bangs’ The One About Friends collection (full blog post coming soon!)



  • Polkadoodles Digi Choosday project—read about it here



  • Wicked-themed friendship bracelets for the swap



  • Painted rock magnets for my July swap



Plus, I put my new and more convenient Cricut location inspired me to work on scrapbook titles for our summer trip: Alaska and Cruise Mode On are ready for the trip and scrapbook!



Want to see more? I post daily over on Instagram and Facebook—come say hi!


Here’s to a colorful week and even brighter adventures ahead!


💛 Ana

    I’m so happy to see your happy planner made just days ahead of time for your happy birthday. There’s always a thousand reason to be happy and grateful. Your craft room is well crafted as well; as colorful as your projects. The rainbow only has ROYGBIV and your crafts has 152 colors same as the largest Crayola crayon box. Color the world Happy!

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said  I do  at 8AM — and I still remember thinking,  Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in  Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the  probinsya  version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to  Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two  probinsyanas  from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the  Four Seasons Hotel  only starting at 4PM —  4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been  five whole years  of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun!   To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a  tiny  hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on  upside down.  😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
