Planner Decorations August 2016 (Erin Condren Vertical)
August 2016 Monthly Layout
Here’s a partially completed monthly layout. As you guys know, I like to mark the major events, track workouts, etc. here. The only thing I haven’t layered in (still) are blog posts. But the former are the key things to help me stay organized, prevent double-bookings, and track travel.
Planner Supplies Used:
- Sneakers, Work Sticker, Quarter Box, Coffee Mug: Planner Chick
- Quarter box with circles on edges: Oh Hey Sticker Co
- Page flags: Made by Elissa
- Orange quarter box with two circles on each end: Planning Made Easy
- Quote Sticker (top left): Instagram-photo sticker printed via Erin Condren
August 2016 Weekly Layouts
Weekly Layout: August 1-7
Since I haven’t been using the bottom section of the planner much, I opted to cover this week with a wide washi tape picked up at a NYC book store. The washi served as my focal point, so I used the color scheme for that through the weekly spread.
Planner Supplies Used:
- Floral wide washi tape purchased at a cute book store in NYC called Kinokuniya, just across from Bryant Park
- Heart checklists, flight sticker: Soda Pop Studio
- Reminder: Libbie & Co
- Britney: Oh Hey Sticker Co
- Pink full box: Caress Press
- Pink page flag, weekend banner, Plan: It’s Planning Time
- Silverware: Made by Elissa
- Week rectangles (lower left), half boxes, quarter boxes, work, to clean: Planner Chick
- Oh Happy Day: Sweet Kawaii Designs
- Retro box: Planner Penny
Weekly Layout: August 8-14
I’ve noticed that the kits can be somewhat stressful to use at times. I feel obligated to use all of the stickers in one or two spreads. What would you do with one or two remnant stickers? Especially when those stickers are quite patterned. I guess they’d go okay with a layout that was all solid colors. But since most of my washi has patterns in it, this can be a challenge. So, while I’ll continue to get packages, I find the solid-colored stickers in the shapes I use the most are a bit more flexible and therefore useful.
What do you think? Do you prefer solid or patterned stickers?

This was a fun color scheme. I don’t use orange much. I liked how using one washi on the bottom and a different one on top looked together.

- Orange page flags: Made by Elissa

Weekly Layout: August 22-28
This week was filled with more stickers than normal. Partially because I had a single sheet set to use. Partially because this was the week I went with my sister and her friend Celeste for a classy bachelorette weekend in Asheville, NC. I got really good use out a sheet of coffee/tea stickers when I tracked all the tea outings for the weekend. That was the one thing she wanted to do most: drink tea at Dobra Tea. It’s one of my favorite places to go, so it was fun to see how many times we could visit!
Planner Supplies Used:
- Sprinkle sticker kit, day off: Planner Chick
- Flight: Soda Pop Studio
- Full box with bow: Oh So Pretty Planner
