I have to tell you, this is one of the more enjoyable videos to watch on decorating a planner. You fast forward the manual work while showing it, and you don't waste time speaking for 2 minutes about one small aspect. You keep it short and simple, you move along quickly, and I cannot believe 30 minutes passed by. Brava!! and Thank you.

[@seekinghappy]

I totally agree!!! Super well done!!!

[@deborahglover0112]

What a nice video and you explain everything so easy that anyone can do these and inexpensively too TY so much very enjoyable❤😊

[@LifeDIYJosie]

[@lindacrowley5315]

I just started planning and I am on a budget. These Dollar Tree ideas are wonderful! I'm not a scrapbooker so this is all new to me. Your videos are no nonsense and you explain everything so well. I'm ready to get started decorating my planner! Thank you!

Thanks, Juliet. 🙏🤗❤️

[@jessicakent4265]

Thank you for sharing! I've made my own cover a couple times. I have more great ways now. I didn't think about the wall and window clings. Great ideas!!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

You're welcome, Jessica 🙂❤️ I'm glad you find this helpful. Thanks for watching. Hugs 🤗❤️

[@starrchick28]

I am new to your videos and channel, I saw this a couple years late. I had started to collect HP items when on clearance and have slowly worked over from other planners to disc bound due to type of style. These budget friendly items are amazing. I am slowly working on building my supplies to make my own and this helped out so much! Thank you!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

That's great! I'm glad this video has inspired you. I plan to do more planner type videos to help planner folks save. Would you be interested? Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏🤗😘💕

Awesome ideas for the planners thank you for sharing my dear friend 🤗 Have a wonderful evening 😊. I need to get one of those paper cutters 😊 I love using Dollar Tree gift bags for projects. Love love your snowman cover ❤️

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks, Belinda! I really enjoy paper crafting. The paper cutter keeps things straight, so if you cut a lot, it's a good investment. The bigger cutter that I used at the latter part is heavy duty that can cut through chip boards and cork materials. Great for lots 9f projects. Thanks for watching, my dear friend. Enjoy your day! Hugs-Josie 🤗❤😘

Oh how I enjoyed this video Josie! Thank you so much for putting it out during these difficult times hard to deal with. I have so much stash to put together planners and notebooks. It’s great I don’t have to go out and buy anything new right now. Besides my happy planner punch, I got the heavy duty one from Staples too at your review a couple of years ago. I’m so glad I got it. I love it fir my planner covers! 😊👍

[@terikc2012]

Great video! Where did you get that awesome washi?

[@LifeDIYJosie]

I believe I got them at Ross. Sometimes they carry craft items too. I got my self healing cutting pad there too. Thanks for watching. Hugs-Josie 😶

[@lisafernandez4432]

Ok, i may be a dummy here, but what are the happy planners used for and why transform them?

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Lisa, Happy Planners are datebooks that you can use to plan your days, weeks, or months. It's a great way to manage your time, keep track of events, or meetings. It's a life of personal planning journal. Changing covers and adding accessories are fun ways to decorate Happy Planners, but not a must. Hope the info helps! Thanks for watching. Hugs-Josie 🤗❤

[@betsy35386]

Love your covers! You should sell these in an Etsy shop. Hope you made/make plan with me videos.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks, JoAnna. A couple of years ago, I had planned to open an Etsy shop but it didn't materialize. About 3 years ago, I had weekly and monthly plan with me videos. I plan to start a channel about planning and journaling as well as other paper crafting projects. Hopefully this year! Thanks for watching. Enjoy the rest of your week. Hugs-Josie 🤗

[@missychan63]

You don't need to trace... Just measure the happy planner pages and cut the dollar store papers the same size. Why does everyone waste time tracing? I just made a planner completely from scratch - using off-brand discs and the calendar tabs I used were 7 x 9.25... No tracing - I just cut everything at 7 x 9.25. Easy peasy and it took about 1/10 the time of tracing.
