Weekly Happy Planner Spread – Subtle Sparkle & Getting Things Done

Hello!!! Here's this week’s Happy Planner spread – and it’s all about soft colors, shiny and sparkly vibes, and staying on top of everything before a busy August rolls in!



I used a mix of goodies this week: The Happy Planner’s Sticker and Sticky Notes Accessory Book, paired with the Watercolor Goals sticker book. I wanted something colorful but subtle (haha medyo malabo but I think I pulled it off), so I leaned into pastels – because last week has been great, and I’ve got high hopes that this one will be, too. 



I went with sticker sentiments that center on the word shine – because why not? Just a little reminder that no matter where we are, we should always shine. And honestly, I think I am. Literally and figuratively. Haha! That’s also why I love using glitter pens in my crafts — “to add sparkle,” as I always say. 



To keep things organized, I added colored “today” boxes on each day this week. I’ve been in full prep mode for August since we’ll be out most of the month – so it’s been a mix of swaps, weekly spreads, Weeklies projects, DT projects, and PD blog posts. So far, I’ve been keeping up pretty well (yay me!). Plus, Kelly Bangs just sent her upcoming collection (launching next week!), and I loved it so much I ended up making two full projects within 24 hours. I''ve been working on her August collection too so watch out for her August 4 release! Creative adrenaline is real.


 


This week’s planner sentiments include:

  • You got this

  • Shine like the whole world is yours

  • Choose to shine

  • Do all the things


I also added spaces for gratitude and “things that made me smile” – because reflecting on the good stuff makes journalling all the more fulfilling.


Can you believe we’re already in the third week of July?! Time is flying and I feel like I still have so much to do. But we got this, right?


Anyway – yes, I’m cramming this blog post right now because my mom has been asking when I’ll post again. Haha! Hi Mommy! I miss you! 


Ton and I are heading out tonight, so I’m finishing up everything I can before he gets home.


Wishing you a sparkly and productive week ahead!


Til next (probably Wednesday if not earlier!),

Ana

    “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. “ Mathew 5:16

    Shine! Shine! Shine!
    I agree that you SHINE! You standout for doing something extremely well. Not just in your crafting projects but also with your household chores, taking care of your loving hubby, and sharing your talents and blessings to everyone. I am really so proud of you. Can’t say that you got your talents from me. ( I love arts but I’m not as gifted as you are). Talent is God given and I’m so grateful that you are able to recognize and develop the abilities and skills you possess.
    You have identified your talents, GO continue to use them; don’t let it go to waste. -aMOMymous

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...
