I thought I'd share with you about a project I did this past week involving the extra binders that were in my Happy Planner. I just got this Happy Planner in early January and it was a 18 month planner, so I had taken out the months of July - December and had left-over binders. Well, I recently sat down and created a budget and I also have a writing section, an important information section and an Etsy Wish List section with coupon codes. I'll also be tracking my etsy purchases, too.
So I thought I'd go through my planner and share how I've set these up. First, I found beautiful printable full paper patterns to use on the backsides of the binders and extra pages. They come from the shop Let's Paper Up
Here's a link:

Here's a pic of a full page you will find from her shop. All I did was print it onto full paper sticker and the fit it to the page size of my happy planner. Worked put perfect as you'll soon see.
So now let's begin:
First page in my Happy Planner (No I still haven't written in Belongs To section, I'm practicing writing with my Quill. I digress.
Back page is a very pale yellow background with white polka dots. The lighting makes it difficult to see. Next time I'd double up on the sticker paper as you do see a slight see through of the old 2016 calendar which was on the back. This is where I'm storing my Important information. I still need to make binder tab labels.
Here's the 2017 Calendar page.
On the back I put a beautiful mint green background with white polka dots. I'm using this section for any special notes I need to keep for the year.
Love this quote: This is the Good Life! This was the July Tab.
On the back I used a beautiful peach with green leaves. Not sure yet what I'm doing with this section, I might use this for a yearly goals section as the quote fits appropriately. One nice thing about these binders is each year I can save them and use them again in my Happy Planner, ahhh nothing goes to waste! I'm one who does not like to waste things!
I love this awesome floral E and the beautiful writing in the background. The color scheme reminds me of something written on old fashioned scroll paper! This is going to be my writing section where I'll keep book plotting ideas, character ideas and my writing and release schedules. The Wexford Sister's are coming soon!
For the back side I used this beautiful rose and peach striped paper. Love these roses and they match the beautiful flower's on the front!
Beautiful mint background with flowers. This was the former October tab. Love these colors. This section will be my Monthly Theme section for keeping tabs of all of the planner kits I want to use and any extra stickers I need for each kit as well.
Back part is a beautiful mint background with lil white flowers and polka dots. Fits perfect with the front page :)
Love this quote: "Failure is the Best Way to Learn". That is so very true, we learn more from our failures than we do our successes I feel! I'm using this for my budget, I thought the quote fitting as I sometimes fail at my budget (ugh I'm addicted to Etsy and must put myself on a monthly spending limit) and I also am a HUGE book lover and I admit I fall for those wonderful 99 cent book sales! My kindle is over-flowing!
Lovely Rose Gold glitter background to match the font color on the front page. It's in a rose gold foil. I love rose gold, do you?
So that was my project this past week, I had a lot of fun making my planner more pretty and now I have nice sections for all of the things I need to keep organized! Sorry the lighting wasn't the best, it was early evening when I took these pics. I hope you can still see the details and please do visit Let's Paper Up's shop as she's got plenty more to purchase!
