You may notice that my first month in my planner is May. Since I didn't have this planner for the first few months of the year I just took them out completely and I'll show you later some ideas I used the extra pages for. (Scrapbooking 101 Rule: Never throw away anything because you might be able to use it again later for something else)
As for my initial set up for this month it just has the basics. Some black and white (x2 designs) washi tapes...the hearts one is from the dollar spot at Target from their Valentine's Day Collection and the Cameras one I believe is from Hobby Lobby. I used a quote strip of washi tape that says "I love you more" and that is from the new Heidi Swapp washi booklet that's part of this current memory planner collection. (you can find it at Michaels right now for about $5.99 but it's cheaper if you use one of their 40% off coupons) As you can see I also have a gold glitter arrow that I cut in half to spread across from one page to the other putting attention to May 1st; my daughters birthday and a gold glitter star on the bottom right corner. Then for added embellishment I used a few die cut pieces from Heidi's "Hello Today" collection, some coordinating enamel dots and a Prima mini paper flower with a pearl enamel dot. So you see here you can use any flat or semi flat embellishments to decorate anything in your planner.
Also, here you see I already have a few things jotted down that I need to remember for the month ahead. Look at my Monday the 4th. I messed up on that days square and had to cover it up some how. All I did was cut a piece of patterned paper from Heidi's matching paper pad and stuck it down to cover my mistake and I think it looks adorable. Just for fun if you want...do that with random days all over your monthly planner and I think it will be unique and adorable to look at while planning out your month. The creativity is endless. Enjoy it!
