The last several days have been a wash. I spent Thursday through Saturday at home trying to recover from a debilitating sinus infection. It wasn’t until Monday afternoon that my head began to clear up. Now that’s out of the way, I’m finding my rhythm again.

I’ve been incorporating more visual elements into my planner starting with planner themed stamps. I’ve done this before in my previous planner but it just didn’t look right to me. With this new layout, the dot grid makes a perfect base for arranging stamped images and text in a more visually pleasing manner.

I started out with two planner stamp sets. I’ve had the Bo Bunny stamp set for several years already. In fact they have an updated version which you can purchase on Amazon.

The other set I have is from Waffle Flower Stamps called Stay Focused. I prefer their stamp type because it’s photopolymer rather than the cheaper vinyl.

Didn’t know there were two types of clear acrylic stamps? Check out this blog post from Ink Stains with Roni. She does a great job explaining the difference between the two types and why one is better than the other.

I don’t often carry stamps around with me, but if I do, below is what I would normally have.
