Happy Planner Spread of the Week: Hello, SUMMER!


Summer is really summering here in Saudi Arabia. Stepping outside in the afternoon honestly feels like opening the oven door - and staying in front of it! The heat stings, the glare is blinding, and it’s so overwhelming it shuts down any ability to even complain. Really!





So instead of sulking about the scorching sun, I decided to bring cooler vibes into my planner with a fun and cheerful SUMMER spread. If I can’t escape the heat, I might as well make the most of the season with some stickers, right?



This week’s theme is all about embracing sunshine and good feelings (even if it’s from the safety of my air-conditioned home—thank you, freshly cleaned and fixed AC units + free utilities!). I went with bold letters and wrote “Ang init.” Because… it really is. Just stating facts here. But to balance that, I added a “Sunshine and good feelings” sentiment sticker to bring in the positivity.



 



For the decor, I wanted something bright and fun, so I spelled out SUMMER in cute and colorful letters. I even drew a little string and turned tab stickers into buntings for a festive touch. All the stickers I used are from Echo Park’s Summertime Sticker Book (which I love because they’re cardstock stickers!) and Happy Planner’s Summertime sticker book.




And just like that, it’s already the second week of July! Can you believe we’re now closer to 2026 than we are to the beginning of 2025? Time is flying! That also means…


  • My birthday is less than a month away
  • I get to see my family in less than a month
  • Our August vacation is almost here!


Yay, yay, yay!


Hope you’re finding little joys this season too—even if it’s just staying cool indoors and making pretty planner pages.

Mini Album with Tags | Polkadoodles Project

I had so fun creating this sweet little  Mini Album with Tags  using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too. I designed the base cut file myself using  Cricut Design Space , and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here . It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization. For the papers, I used the  Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers  from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside. The sentiment on the bellyband— “Hi, You” —comes from the  Honeypie Greetings Sentiment  pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion. To finish it off, I tied a cute  polkadot ribbon on the tags  for a little e...

First Christmas card of the year — check! I’m officially diving into festive crafting, and what better way to start than with a sparkly, interactive  easel clear front card ?

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox   This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is  Halloween / Autumn , and while I initially planned on making just one Halloween project, I couldn’t help but want to do an Autumn-inspired one too. So… here’s my second project: a  Gratitude Journaling Folio  featuring the adorable  Autumn Fall Foxes  from Polkadoodles!  This folio is actually a  one-page wonder  design, but I saw the perfect patterned papers in the  Boo Halloween Paper Digital Bundle  and  Enfys Jetsetting Digital Stamp Bundle —so I ended up layering extra panels inside. If you’re recreating this, feel free to stick with a single 12x12 patterned paper, or go wild like I did!  The  cover  is a mixed media combo of a paper doily, trims, flowers, one of the Autumn Fox digi stamps, and the word  “Grateful.”  Inside, I added more sweet words like  “Thankful” ...
