Planner Decoration Ideas: March 2015 (Erin Condren Vertical)

Hello, fellow planner nerds! Aren’t planner spreads fun to look at? Sometimes, if I’m waiting in line somewhere or have some idle time, I’ll browse some of the popular planner hashtags (#plannerlove #erincondren #planneraddict) for inspiration. I just love seeing all the creative ways others add their own touch to their planners. Here are some of my planner decoration ideas for March 2015 in my Erin Condren (vertical layout).

By the way, I’m not planning to get a new planner till the end of the year. I can’t say I haven’t been a little jealous seeing all the clean page layouts of the new Life Planners, but I don’t want to waste the last half of this one. Anywho, I only have a couple months till it’s time to order my planner for 2016! Where did the year go?

Many of these layouts were before I got super sticker-happy, so I mostly used washi tape and post it notes. I like to think this shows you can really do a lot with your planner with just a could simple materials. Although, I really do love my Etsy stickers. Overall, I really liked the different color schemes. I felt like the green tones of March were really easy to work with.

I used one of my first Etsy Planner Sticker Kits by Oh So Pretty Planner. It was fun using the custom theme stickers. I decided to keep the color scheme mostly green for St. Patrick’s Day. I added horizontal lines using thin washi tape in a progressive yellow-to-green color scheme.

Planner Decoration Supplies Used:

  • I used thin washi tape in yellow and green tones. I got a set of multi-colors from Etsy shop pikwahchan
  • The yellow/green wide washi was also purchased from pikwahchan
  • And the St. Patricks Day kit was by Oh So Pretty Planner

On this layout, I used 0 Etsy stickers. I did use 4 kinds of washi, though. This was my first time trying a more neutral color scheme. I usually play up whatever the background colors are. But I thought the gold and black went well with the green. Not to mention…St. Patrick’s Day…gold at the end of the…you know.

This was my first time trying the right angle weekend border with the thin washi tape. I think it turned out nice and was a good alternative to weekend banners. Weekend banners are one of my favorite types of stickers, but it’s good to have options.

Planner Decoration Supplies Used:

  • Skinny washi by Joanns
  • Washi tapes (I believe the other 3) from pikwahchan on Etsy
  • Sticky note and pens by Target dollar spot
  • Bow paper clips by Kate Spade purchased at Paper Source (available online)

Ahh my favorite color combo – turquoise and pink. I really liked the pops of green too. I’d seen the patterned washi tape on Instagram and thought it was sooooo cute. I easily found it at a local Michaels. I believe it was in a dual pack with another color.

My favorite feature of this week, though, was playing with the left side polka dots by adding heart stickers. I thought it made good use of the polka dots, rather than covering them up. And, it helped tie my color scheme together.

I used more of the same washi tape from the month layout and also a bunch of the Etsy kit stickers. I cut the post it notes into page flags by trimming off some of the ends in a v-shape. These looked good, were colorful, and very easily repositionable. Sometimes I’ll put things on these if the plans are tentative or may move.

I tried some new things this week. I added custom M/D/N stickers over the left-side morning boxes. I really like the way this looked, even though the colors weren’t the same for each day. And I used washi tape with different patterns, but the colors tied them together well. This spread made me really happy.
