[@AH-ik3pv]

Um…of course I’m interested in winning this spread! I’ve been wanting to try a blackout spread, would block construction paper work? Also, I just want to say thank you so much for such a quick reply to my email this morning regarding the release of your stickers. I was beyond impressed that you took the time to answer my email on the morning of such a busy release. I’m not a patron, yet I don’t think you even know who I am, and yet you took the time to leave a very nice reply to my message and help me finally get one of your sticker books! You’re amazing, I love the products you put out, thank you so much for showing us all of these tips.

[@bonniehosmer2021]

I'm interested and this would have been perfect for my Grandmother, with her poor vision later in her life. I would write to her on black notebook paper and she loved it!

[@elizabethhoyle9130]

Love how this spread turned out!! The blackout spread and metallic gel pens remind me of when I was younger and we had those blackout scratch art prints.

[@veronical6605]

Thanks for doing a video on blackout spreads! I've been dying to make one but had no idea where to start!You make it look so easy. Your floral stickers look great against the black--now another layout idea for me to try! What was the name of the pen you got from Ilysse? 💙💙

[@2478lemonhead]

I like this spread I’m gonna try a blackout spread I haven’t done one. Interested in the giveaway

[@Liz.Heartinez]

Oh I wish you took Afterpay I want all the sticker books lol

[@claudiacastillo-magallanez9837]

[@laurai9179]

Love the metallic markers and beautiful florals. My jelly roll never seems to work as well as yours. 😏

[@denisewiseman7316]

Laura, for me I use the one with a 10 on it, the bold ones work best for me. Maybe that would help?

[@destinymorna]

I was lucky to get the realistic florals sticker book and washi tape this morning. I will be trying a blackout spread as soon as I get them!!

[@marnyk2012]

I never really liked/understanding blackout spreads until this one! This... with those flowers...=AWESOME

[@kelleyspencer]

THISSSSSS!!!! This is how I would use the florals with colored backgrounds. This is amazing and adorable!! And your colored black boxes would work too!! 💖💖💖

[@tinarowe9336]

[@rikkimikkiplans]

[@rasheeta8240]

I love this spread. Where do I get blank vertical paper to make extra layouts for my classic? I am going on vacation the week of the 19th-23rd and I would LOVE to use this spread. I hope I do WIN. Have a wonderful Friday!

[@FieryAphrodite78]

I love this. I love doing black out spread but I hate trying to draw straight lines. Even with a ruler I kid y’all not. It still doesn’t go straight! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I never thought to try this! Thanks Heather!!! 💗💗💗 I want this spread! Pretty please! Super super cute! Ooh a trick I’ve learned with the black out spread is if you make a mistake when you use white pen and wanna cover it, use a black pen. Works like a dream!

[@lisadondero1297]

I am obsessed with the colors popping off the black background! I would love this!! Great job as always😊

[@dianecurtis1681]

Love the blackout spread. I’m now going to have to order the markers. Would love to have the spread.

[@agarcia210]

I love this black spread. I especially love how your paper stickers just pop! And yes I am very interested in winning this spread!!!!

[@theresawood9729]

I like this a lot, it's different! I'm also a Scrapbooker and I love using black pages. One thing I like is using the white Uniball Signo, I love that pen. I would love to have your pages. I like your Videos. Thank you, Heather

[@susanmorris5520]

Hi there Heather. This spread sure turned out so cool. What if you did your check off boxes each I. Different colors instead of the bright white? I also loved how you did the days in two different colors. They turned out so cool. It would be so cool to be able to see you do more of those kinds of spreads in the near future too. God bless and have a good night. Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️🙏🏻🤟🏻👼🌸🌴🦋❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@arvpy5886]

Another Beautiful spread Heather! The colors just pop off that black paper. I never thought about doing a black spread and it's amazing. I definitely want to try! love your videos. Tfs

I am interested in winning this spread of course :)

[@carlonagardin85]

This is amazing! I’m interested in this beautiful spread and also in trying a blackout spread myself!

[@jills9547]

Hi, Heather. It did turn out really cute, yes. I'm wondering if you could use Pilot G2 metallic pens on black paper? I love the way G2s write, especially because they don't leave indentations or bleed through.

[@lauryshattock7570]

Love this!!!! I would never think to do a black out spread! Now I will! Thank you so much and love your flowers!!!

[@poohemk1239]

I don't know if the sticker book is still in stock seeing how it came out July 2021 but I never actually got to see the name of the sticker book and I thought the stickers were really pretty they were used on the blackout spread

[@kellofaplan]

this is realistic florals volume one which is sold out, but volume two is still available on kellofaplan.com

[@debraokelley4275]

[@carolinalara8496]

[@deniseplasse5126]

I just love this! I am struggling to find the perfect planner for me and have decided I want to make my own planner pages from straight up paper, and this gives me a great idea on how to do it. AND your stickers make it easy and flawless. Thanks so much!

[@tracykinley5121]

I always love to watch your planning videos; learn something new each time. Have you ever thought about doing a different color blackout instead of black? I would love to win something that you have personally created. I love how this spread turned out; can't wait for the next video.

[@debrabaney8824]

Love this spread! I wouldn't mind having it for in my planner! I've wanted to try a blackout spread, but just haven't gotten around to doing one!

[@julieredlinger5191]

Wow-I am not really a fan of the blackout page, but this is really beautiful with your flowers and creativity. I love the markers you chose as well. Maybe I’ll get brave enough and try to creat one using your inspiration.

[@stephaniemurphy2298]

Love this spread!! I would love for happy planner to come out with a black out planner!

[@jessicao.6652]

[@MoPlans]

This is so cute!! I love how the colors pop on a blackout spread!! I've only done one blackout spread and it took soooo much time but I loved it!! I'd love to win this spread!! 💙💙💙

[@bettygoode8649]

I love black paper. I love how the spread pops against the black. It would be awesome to own this spread. Thank you for all your hard work 💞💞

[@denisewiseman7316]

I already commented on wanting to win the spread but wanted to say if you use good black paper, that I think the archer & olive acrylograph paint pens would look really good on a black spread. I just ordered the metallic ones to try on this spread and my stickers and washi from Heather should be in any day now. Love your ideas Heather, they are so unique. Learning so much from all of you planners.

[@nikolaquino1279]

Omg this is beautiful! I never saw a black out spread! I would love to win this!! I just ordered your sticker book so maybe I can do one 😍

[@sherylwickenheiser2582]

I’ve never tried blackout spreads but this is beautiful! I would love to win this. I have black papers and markers but i may need to get some stickers……

[@katrreenna5430]

Love this with your stickers! I love the signo better than the jelly roll too. Some additional tips: 1. You can use an eraser to get rid of those smear marks from the white gel pen. 2. If you don’t want to cut up your planner pages to use as a stencil, you can use a metal tool for nail art with a ball on the end and make indentations in the page as guides. Then draw the lines in using a ruler 3. If the markers are too thick there are metallic jelly roll pens you can use for smaller writing. Also Archer and Olive came out with acrylograph pens that are supposed to be really pretty on black paper, but I haven’t tried them yet as they are kind of expensive.

[@katharinetowlson9250]

I have to try this. The black make your stickers pop out even more. I could see this in my planner and would love to win this one. 💙💙💙💙💙
