Weekly Happy Planner Layout | Scrapbook Travel Titles | Travel Prep Edition

Cramming both a blog post and this week’s planner layout because… well… I didn’t have one last week. 



Plus, I wanted a proper to-do list for today and tomorrow before we fly to Seattle!


Yes — the Alaskan Cruise is happening very, very, very soon, and I am beyond excited! Since we arrived last August 9, it’s been a blur of laundry, ironing, and… making scrapbook titles. Oh, and catching up with snuggles and nap disturbances with my cat, Lucky who has been very clingy since we arrived!



Scrapbook Titles - This has become my new travel tradition, inspired by Melanie of @melanie.espe.lim and Michi of @mitchcraftaholic. My first creations were for Abu Dhabi and Malaysia — I had to design them myself because Cricut Design Space didn’t have any. The best part? After our trip, I saw that someone had already recreated my Malaysia design! That gave me the push to make even more titles… so now I have one for each place we’re visiting in Alaska. Because suddenly, just the “Alaska” title I initially made didn’t feel like enough. and because, I was inspired to make the titles that Design Space didn't have!

This Week’s Layout


For this week, I went with a travel theme using The Happy Planner’s Getaway Vibes and Bright Travels sticker books. I added box stickers for each day before our flight so I can jot down important reminders — I’m definitely a “write a list” kind of planner girl.






My sticker sentiments this week include:

  • “Life is a journey, not a destination” (pretty sure we had a similar quote for our travel themed wedding — sorry hubby, my memory’s fuzzy)

  • “Take me away”

  • “Live every day like vacay”

  • “Born to wander”

  • “Travel the world”

  • “Adventure ahead”



Travel Journaling Plans


Traveler's Notebook and pens are birthday gifts from Chummy. Will bring adhesive so I can stick tickets and other memorabilia I get during our trip!

I have a new Traveler’s Notebook from my cousin Chummy, and it’s coming along with my photo printer. During our Malaysia trip, I brought the latest mini album I made for Kelly Bangs and we filled it daily with Instax prints from my sister’s camera. It was so fun! I might get one of my own, but I’m only 50% convinced because of the bulk.



Funny side story — someone accidentally spilled Coke (wala pang umaamin pero may nag "spill" na on who - Ollie and Mica both pointing at each other) on the Malaysia album, so I brought it home for repairs. Haven’t fixed it yet, but that’s on my September list. Here's a little flip through with the Coke splatter effect:




If you want to recreate my scrapbook titles, my Design Space account is here. Some titles are designed by others, but most are my own.


Follow me on my socials for more projects — I might even start sharing our travel stories on my crafting IG too!




This is it for now! Have a great week ahead, everyone!

💗 Ana

    Another beautiful creation!
    I like the saying “Life is a journey, not a destination”
    So, it’s okay to use it over and over again.
    I am bewildered on your multi-tasking ability; crafting, blogging, house chores and bonding with Lucky; I cant even keep up with my laundry! You have a “superstar” brother who changes outfit from time to time. 5-8 pieces of clothing in a day.
    Your (travel designs ) are also good you may transform it into ref magnets.
    It’s heartbreaking to see Lucky lying in your luggage. It’s as if he doesn’t want you to put your things in it.
    You are so lucky to have Lucky who loves you and your hubby so much.
    I’m so excited too about your Alaska trip.
    Here’s a trivia about Alaska so you may have something to read on you 7-hr flight.
    * Alaska was purchased from the Russian Empire by the US for the sum of $7.2 million in 1867.
    * The purchase labeled as “Seward’s Folly” or Seward’s Icebox because they thought US had acquired useless land.
    William H Seward Secretary of State during that time negotiated with the sale.
    * State Flower of Alaska- Forget Me Not
    * Year Alaska became a State- 1959
    * Largest City in Alaska- Anchorage
    *State Motto of Alaska- North To The Future
    *State Gem of Alaska- Jade
    *State Sport of Alaska- Dog Mushing
    *Longest River in Alaska-Yukon River
    *Capital City- Juneau
    * Alaska City known as “The Salmon Capital of the World”- Ketchikan
    *Estimate Number of Glaciers in Alaska- 100,00

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...
