I have a little present for you today! If you are following along with my June Instagram challenge you will have noticed that today, day 6 the prompt is 'watermelon'. Now if you are having trouble with this prompt, don't fret as I have something that you might be interested in! if you haven't started yet, don't fret you can start any time and just catch up!
I was sat there playing one evening with my watercolours and out popped this little watermelon print. I looked at it and thought that this would look super cute as a dashboard. Don't you think? I thought it would be perfect for Summer, refreshing every time you opened up your planner. I am really into watercolour prints at the moment. I am loving that imperfect look.
Because I am nice he he, I am giving this to you as a free download so that you can print this at home and enjoy.
The dashboards are available to download as pocket size (81x120mm) personal size (95x171mm) and A5 (148x210mm). You will need software that can 'unzip' the
folder to release the files as both pdf and jpeg. If you don't have it, just seach for WinZip or 7zip or any other programme like this - some are free but most computers come with this software on these days.
To download the files please click here.
Please note that the dashboards that I am offering as freebies are different to the ones that I sell, so if you have
already purchased any of my dashboards, don't worry these are in addition for you. If
you haven't purchased any of my dashboards and would like to or just have a
nose at them you can view them in my Etsy shop here.
Please note:These inserts are for
your own personal use only and are NOT FOR RESALE as either printables
or hard copy. Thank you.
I really hope you enjoy your new dashboard. If you use it please do tag me on any photos you share on social media as I would genuinely love to see what you do with them!
I spent more time deliberating over planner and journal supplies that I should take away with me than clothes. Seriously! I thought you might like to see the set up that I went with!
The fauxdori I show is an A5 size from: https://www.etsy.com/shop/loveneen I love it and totally reccommend. The quality is amazing and she is such a lovely lady to work with too!
It's been a while but I am back with a flip through of my fauxbonichi! Here is a look at my pages from March, April and May of 2015. I don't know if the Fauxbonichi / Hobonichi has gone out of fashion at all but I don't see anywhere near as many flip throughs as I used to. I still love mine, just that life sometimes gets in my way and I have lots of other interests that I like to do too so it is a case of juggling them because I can't do everything in the evening!
**If you haven't received your box this month yet, you might want to not read!!**
It's time to reveal what was in the Brimbles Box this month, the month of June! if you haven't received yours yet you might want to stop reading! UK boxes should be with you by 3rd / 4th June and International after that.
If you would like to watch
videos of unboxings from genuine customers as well as honest reviews
from bloggers you can watch the YouTube Brimbles Box playlist As I say they are all very honest so you can get a better feel for what was inside. Here is my unboxing and video talk through of this months box:
So what was in the box this month? This
months box is all about having fun...
Of course there is always a postcard from me which tells you more about the theme of the box:
I am not massively girly-girly in my day to day life but every now and then I do like to just go pink and, well, girly. I also can't deny that I love a bit of glitter. I love glitter and would put it on everything. When it comes to being girly, this area is something that is more reserved for stationery than it is for say clothes. I do like me a bit of girly stationery.
I am a tad excited about this box because it was a chance to unleash my inner girly, the child in me who was carefree and didn't give a damn about what anyone else thought of her. Sadly in adulthood life can get so busy and we can get so bogged down in our everyday that we forget sometimes to laugh and have fun. Remember when your friends cam round to play and you laod on the floor with your craft stuff and just created for creating sake? let's do that, let's pretend that we are all toegther with our box of stuff and let's just play!
So unleash your inner sparkle and be the Princess of your own story!
Much love, sequins and sparkles
Anna x

I'm feeling sickly sweet again this week. I am just loving the over the top chuck loads at it kinda thing. I know it doesn't leave much room to write but when I have weeks with not much going on, this is perfectly OK! I am just in love with this washi tape and these stickers, they are just so...yummy! he he!
I had seen lots of hype about Christy Tomlinson's Planner Society Kit and I was very tempted from the word go BUT I kinda dragged my heels a little bit. I mean did I need more planner and craft stuff? Well OK, I guess *need* never really comes into it but I did love the look of it and so I caved and signed up for the subscription.
It comes from the States so us Brits have gotten ours quite a while after the gals in the States but that is to be expected. So I had already seen a lot of photos around on social media so kind of knew what to expect already but it is still fun to get yours and tear it open to see what is inside. Of course, as you would expect, I did an unboxing video so you can see it as it comes out and see the 'live' thing.
So what was in the box... there were lots of items all geared up to the creative process of planning and those included, pins to make your own paper clips, stickers, ephemera, a planner charm, alpha stickers, die cuts, scrapbook papers, date stamp, washi tape, sticky notes, paper clips and Project Life cards.
All in all I really loved the box and my brain is already whirring into life with what I can do with the items! Some I may not use in my planner but will probably use in my journal but this kit is ideal for mixing and matching. I am looking forward to next months kit already!
To find out more about the kit check out Christy's website: http://www.scarletlime.com/papercrafting.html PLEASE NOTE: I purchased this kit (these products) with my own money. This review is my
own personal opionion on the product / company, given in good faith and

You know it occurred to me that I haven't hosted a daily instagram photo challenge since February! I was just wondering if anyone else was doing one in June and then I thought why not just do one myself he he! I am feeling so Summery at the moment and as June sees the Summer Solstice I thought why not make a Summer themed challenege! Whooop whooop!!
REMEMBER as with all of my daily photo challenges I have
designed the prompts to be interpreted in a way that suits you,
loosely based on the things that I love: Planners (and planner decoration), Stationery,
Journals, Books, food, the season etc. You interpret them
however you like but
most
importantly have fun with it. They are just prompts to help you. Take
them literally if you like or be imaginative. Share your life or share
your planner. Anything goes! You don't have to enter to win the prize,
you can just play along with the prompts for fun, entirely up
to you, the more the merrier!
What is the prize? Well I am giving away a box full of stationery
goodies worth at least £20. I am not telling you what is inside, that
would spoil the surprise but if you would like to take a look at the
sort of thing you could expect take a look at my Brimbles Boxes.
Please do make sure that you read all guidelines on how to enter and the
rules below oh and if you want to be in with winning the prize you will
need to register on the giveaway widget below too!
Please do feel free to share the above photo on instagram, Pinterest,
