Step by Step (Weekly Decorating)

I decided to share with you a little bit of a step by step on my decorating/thinking process.  This here is my 2nd week in August.  Follow the pictures below for caption details on my thinking and decorating process.

This cute 6 x 6 paper pad I found this week at my local Tuesday Mornings store.  It is by Crate Paper and the collection is called "Notes and Things".  This was the inspiration for my colors and decorating this week.  I loved the mixture of the pastels and dull bright colors it had together.

Then I flipped through the paper pad and chose 6 cute designs. and trimmed them each to fit the boxes on my planner pages.

Then I used my roller tape and adhered them down...this is how it turned out.  So cute with those soft colors.

 
Then I decided to put washi tape to cover the black and white stripes where the holes are.  Since I wanted to use a light color pink washi I thought I would cover it first with some regular white computer paper before applying the light pink tape; just so there wasn't any bleed through of the black and white stripes. It turned out great.

This is the washi tape I finally chose for this weeks layout.  A skinny sheer white tape with little black triangle arrows, a light pink with sheer white polka dots and a sheer white tape with cute black cameras.  Some of my favorites.

     

Then I decided to use this piece of paper from the same paper pad and cut it up and save it to decorate my photos using the cute labeled tabs.  I think it will give it a cute scrapbook style to my normal day to day to do's  and appointments.
   
In this picture I put nothing to waste.  The little strips from the top of the paper were coordinating patterns and I decided to cut them up and make page flags to decorate this page too.  I will also be adding them to my page once I have photos.  I like to decorate when I have everything in front of me.
  Last but not least I wanted to share with you these adorable little flags that I found at Hobby Lobby the other day that I think will go perfect with this weeks decorations.

So I hope this gives you a few tips and ideas for your weekly decorations and remember... Let's Plan Pretty Things!
