On the upcoming design team blog we are all discussing our favourite past spreads using EBDUK stickers. (EBDUK is you didn’t know is Elliebeth Designs UK). I have this morning had nearly all of my planners out trying to decide what would be my favourite. It has been a real challenge so I thought I would share the contenders for my favourite spread with you all.
These spreads are from a variety of planners and not even all of the planners I have used over the past three years. All of them though, fill me with some kind of joy looking at them all filled in!
January 2017 – Erin Condren
I want to say that is kit was called wild and free, but I really can’t be sure. This was one of the first spreads I shared on instagram and it just makes me happy. I had had my EC for about 4 months by this point and was finally getting into the groove of planning in it. This kit just seemed to fit perfectly with the January into February colours and provide a bit of sunshine in the grey winter months.
February 2017 – Erin Condren
I have no idea at all what this kit was called! I loved the hot air balloons and the colour combinations. I know at the time, this artwork was being used by quite a few different shops, but I think Rachel really nailed this with the colour palette.
August 2018 – Bullet Journal (B6+ Leuchtturm 1917)
These spreads are from my daily plan with me series that I did on my channel. The kit was called Peace from the Cyber Monday sale the previous year and it just filled me with happiness. Its calm and pale and just a touch of gold and floral worked so well. I loved the process of building up this over the week and adapting each day as it came.
November 2018 – Passion Planner Medium
This was a hoarded kit I had stashed away and the orange flowers are totally what drew me to it! This is also where I started my love of icons with them sneaking into the week. The joy of Rachel’s stickers is that there are so many functional rainbow items that really work with the colours of her kits. This is also where I renewed the use of the to do list within time slots. I think this is where I started to really like the finished spread look.
March 2019 – Passion Planner Large
This is one of the first real spreads in a Passion Planner where I stopped using the timelines. I was off work and needed a bit of structure to my day with a bit of colour as well. The stickers are from the poppies collection released in November and while they were released with the very specific Remembrance theme, The colours are the sorts of bold bright colours that make me happy and so I decided to use them. The large size is where I started with the Passion Planner and coming back to this was lovely.
May 2019 – Passion Planner Medium
This monthly spread makes me so happy. I started using the monthly spread for gratitude recording in Decemeber (read more about it on my previous post and find more about the gratitude prompts I use from the Elliebeth Designs UK Blog post). I had a bit of break in April because of my health and really wanted to get back to it in May. I went all out with colour coordinated pens and I love the finished spread. Its definitely something I am going to continue doing and June is already shaping up nicely.
So there you have it – a selection of some of my favourite spreads from past (and present) planners that all use stickers from Elliebeth Designs UK. Now I have to whittle it down to my absolute favourite. To find this out, you’ll just have to go and read the group blog post on the EBDUK Website!
