Planner . Starting from the bottom UK


Planner

Many of you will know that "Planner's" have taken over specially now it’s the new year. People like to the more organised when the new calendar starts, I being one they people. 

I seen so many amazing plan with me videos on YouTube with gorgeous sticker sets from Esty and so many different planner styles. With being a working college student I believed it was about time I got myself organised
I debated on which planner to get... go with the cult fav or try something different

Planner
I researched the Erin and the price just goes up if you want any type of personalise which is one for the reason I looked into that one and to get it shipped to the UK is something I worry about as I have been charged over £100 in customs charges for only 4 international packages

So back onto the actual topic at hand I decided to get the Happy Planner

Also known as …. Create 365 - The Happy Planner, Mambi planner, me and my big ideas planner. The happy planner is an 18 month planner which you can removed the paged and also add pages, the boxes are the same width as the EC vertical planner yet slightly longer  
2015-16 Planner - Every Day Is A Gift

Stickers 

Stamps
After doing some research I choose to use stamps and a one of my main decorations for my planner as stickers aren't that easy to come across in the UK


I got three sets of stamps from Studiol2e one set is on preorder so I don’t have them to review but I will post them anyway then a follow up. 

i got three sets and the shipping was only $5.95 ... be aware that if you buy more the shipping can double even triple in cost 

I got the Iconic set which has 30 every day stamps  ,  i plan to use this with water colour pencils or paints to add detail. 

Iconic
I also pre-ordered the Plan it set i looked everywhere for a affordable set like this and i couldn't find one in the uk or in actual stock so i choose this one after watching YT reviews  
Plan It
and lastly i got the Beautiful You plan it set.. i study make-up artistry at college so i thought this set would be a nice way to pretty up the days i am at college 

BeYOUtiful Plans
Ink
I didn't want to go spending bucket loads of money before I had even physically got my planer so I decided to stay cheap and got a 30 piece stamp set from Hobby craft for £10 being that I knew it was cheap I also grabbed a dew drop brilliance ink in Graphite Black … and a metallic washi tape, I also go two clear blocks and one stamp to test the inks I got … I will do a review soon.

Side Note: being that this purchases was spur of the moment, meaning I hadn’t researched the Dew drops brand, I just grabbed the black without knowing much … I thought I had seen it in a YT video I got the wrong one/type, many other people like the Memento and VersaMagic lines better as they don’t leak through the paper specially the VersgaMagic as this one is chalk based
