Joy Clair New Release November!


Hello there planner friends!  Today I'm joining my fellow Joy Clair design team members as we share the newest stamps to the Joy Clair collection!  I'm excited to share the new calendar set called Calendar Fun!  This is the perfect stamp set for all your planner needs and it can help you create the most awesome "from scratch" traveler inserts too!  Check out the Joy Clair Blog for a sneak at what my fellow DT members are showcasing!  

Join us for this fun hop:  I'm attaching the blogroll so you can hop along with us!  
Let's start the fun!  Remember...Joy Clair has prizes for their blog readers and visitors that comment on each and every blog in the hop...so get hoppin' for your chance to WIN!  
Here's the complete list for the Everyday Stamp Sets Blog Hop:  


Did you know that I have a love affair with making monthly Traveler's Notebook inserts?  I really do!  Each month, I make a unique and "from scratch" insert for my Traveler's Notebook.  You can make one too!  I'll share some tips and tricks here:  

Use a piece of cardstock that is cut down to 21x22 cm.  I'm attaching my insert template for you here FREE so print using the 8 1/2 x 11 setting, trim it down to insert size (make sure to trim while folded like a signature) and enjoy!  

I use a LONGARM stapler to staple my inserts.  If you're interested in getting one, mine is a soft touch stapler so it staples my inserts easily and perfectly every time!  


If you would like the PDF version of my insert page emailed to you, please post a comment for me with your contact info (I have set this blog post to moderate comments and will not post your private comment info.)

Now, let's get back to my insert... Before starting on the planning part on the inside, I just had to decorate it up for a fancy fall design.  I used Fall Leaves and a mix of Memento inks and gold ink to decorate the front.  
After finishing the outside, I started working on the pages inside.  I stamped all the days and dates and also added some fun decor stamps as I was planning the first week.  Since I prepare these inserts myself, I can customize them so that they do not bleed through and can also have "pockets" to hold receipts and other important papers.  Each week spread is backed by a blank spread so that they can be glued together along the edge to become pockets OR I can use the next pages for sketching, journaling and note writing.  It's a perfect set-up for me.  
This set is so fun!  I love the mix of faux washi, doodly images, little icons and fun elements to incorporate on my pages and I also love that there are social media icons that can be used too.  SO FUN!  
The little arrows are perfect for adding some action and whimsy to a page!  
So fun, right?!  Now I'm set for the month and all I have to do is FILL IT UP!  
Get yours today!  Hope you enjoy!
