Plan With Me - Blackout Spread! Inspired by my Patrons! Big Happy Planner May 2023

[@lisaogrady2900]

I just want to say that I watch you because of your talking and your sense of humor. Some people have no sense of humor and their videos are boring. You are open and honest and we all love you! Keep doing you!

[@muzzable]

Great spread and one of my favorite quotes! “ Not my circus, not my monkeys” is a Polish proverb that means you don't want to be involved in a situation or problem, or that it's not your responsibility. 😉

[@dawnhill5744]

Looks great! Why would someone even comment about your talking? We know your style and we adore you for embracing "you being real" We watch you because we love you.😊

[@scrapplancreatewithtracey9714]

This spread is old school Mary-Ellen and felt very much like you enjoyed making this one! Love everything about this ❤

[@janicehopkins6198]

I have been on this creative journey for years and I still love watching you create. Thank you for sharing your creative mind with your viewers. You are an inspiration! 40K+ wouldn't dial in if you didn't inspire everyone's creativity! Remember: A negative comment is verbal bullying! Rather than deal with their issue, a bully cast it on others!)

[@indiap5845]

I love that you talk too much. I dont have any planner friends, so you make me feel part of your process. So thank you!!!❤❤

[@tammysutton2328]

I love to hear you talk and tell stories.... stay the way you are!!!!! You are my favorite planner to watch!!

[@minniebryan2784]

Oh man! This spread is so cool! The positioning of Scar is very aesthetically pleasing to me! Love you Mary Ellen!😊

[@dazzlingcreativevibesandpl6774]

Loved this twist on the blackout & Villains combined, super cool.... I did make a black our spread as part of the Patron challenge, it was a woodland scene...

[@cherylvonkugler2169]

You had me w/ Scar - my favorite Villain!!! I was so happy when you grabbed him!!!

[@carrieailes6716]

Super cute...a blackout spread is on my list of things to try! My only suggestion would have been to put the white word strips on the black paper and the black word strips on the planner pages....make them pop more. But love it!

[@LindaASJ]

I love the creepy owl with the rectangle glasses.. mwah ha ha

[@kimfields1000]

I loooooove this video each month. So fun that you spotlight your patrons’ work and tell what your like about them :)

[@ravengulley7039]

You don't talk to much. I love this spread!!!

[@purplepyramids]

Not my circus not my monkeys is one of my favourite sayings

[@lizisplanning9369]

This was one of those spreads where I was thinking “oh boy what is she doing? How is this going to work?” And then it turned out AMAZING! I love it.

[@erinj9642]

Congrats to confused but happy!🎉

[@katherinepadden8626]

Thank you so much!!! ❤

[@mechudoba]

Congratulations!!!!

[@dawnburks3583]

This may be my favorite!!! Love it!! Never apologize for being you. Your awesome.

[@NB-fh6ld]

I adore black paper and colorful gel pens; it's a blast. Beautiful spread!!😊😊

[@BeccaUrPlannerBestie]

Awesome spread! Love that the whole page wasn’t blacked out. Congratulations to Confused But Happy on your graduation! 👩🏾‍🎓 👨‍🎓 🧑‍🎓 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@MarilynDIAZDESIGNS]

Love seeing how others plan including yours! It’s gorgeous!!

[@ajbartholomew4499]

Great spread. One reason I watch is because I like you primarily and your plans keep it up

[@kandy8357]

This turned out pretty amazing! Winging it is my game, so this is fun to watch!

[@melaniepederson-scholz2364]

This spread is FANTASTIC! Love it! I have recently pared down my subscribed list and gotten rid of people who don't "chat". Your personality and humor are what draws me in. Do not change nor apologize for who you are! Please keep on being the perfect Mary Ellen that you are!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

❤️

[@alias065]

I REALLY like this spread. It’s inspired me to try something similar.

[@Notable2Nikki]

Congrats confusedbuthappy! I have a BS in engineering so I really understand how hard you must have worked to get your Masters!

[@plancreatecope]

You do you boo. I’ll be back on Patreon when I can. Love the Tim holtz stickers. They have them at hobby lobby also by the stamping supplies.

[@leighsaldivar4439]

I love the black and white ❤don’t worry. I’m not normal either. 😂😂😂😂

[@edietweedy2400]

I love this spread so much! I’m such a fan of black & white. The touch of silver just amps it up!!

[@jhheart307]

Great job with this take on a blackout spread. So creative!

[@ClaireLouiseHolt]

Love this one. Would love see what it looks like after the pen!!

[@pennybast3953]

I tried doing a couple of blackout spreads, but really am not fond of them in my planner. That might be changing a little bit. I like the idea of adding touches of black with blackout boxes or the sections like you made. As long as you don't use orange in this, it doesn't look Halloween-ish at all. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dr.janaleewagner1177]

So cute. Its been a while since I've done a blackout spread. Time to consider it again.

[@sheri-rk1po]

I absolutely love this! For a while I was thinking “oh, no” but it’s amazing! ⭐⭐⭐

[@eileenthompson3231]

Love it 😍 I really like how you used the black paper.

[@dollhouse909]

I love it and I'm inspired to try a blackout spread. It will force me to use some of those black and white florals and boxes I've been hoarding. Thanks!

[@michellewood9646]

We shouldn’t have to apologise for who we are or how we are let’s face it people in todays world are just way to sensitive. If they don’t like your sense of humour or the way you are just don’t watch the videos or just turn down the sound. It’s their problem not yours

[@katyplansandpens790]

Love this spread! And I love the chat. Keep on chatting ; )

[@renae9877]

I love this spread!!! 😍I just did an Ursula spread because a coworker of mine wanted me to do another Villain spread in my planner. I attempted the spread and wish I had more options for stickers other than the foil ones I had. You are very inspirational to my spreads in my planner. ☺

[@Sewingtrue100]

A nice spread, will be looking at useing white pens. 😀

[@naticastrong3490]

This spread looks so awesome! You gave me lots of ideas for my black planner paper! I just gotta get some of those gel pens!

[@sunshine423d]

This turned out so super cute!

[@CarolLansky0226]

This is such a cool spread! I've never seen a blackout spread done before. Thank you for doing this! Your videos always make me chuckle... 😀

[@chantelinchaos9472]

LOVE! i might be a smidge biased but i love me some villains.

[@plannertimewithmichael]

Very cool spread!! I love it!!

[@kalyndabaumgarden9649]

Such a fun spread!! I have done a blackout spread but it wasn’t my favorite. I love the idea but all I did was draw boxes for that one and didn’t use stickers (which I love to use). I might try making another blackout spread and put some more creativity in it.

[@kayalii]

wow, love this contrast)

[@maureenpalardy4912]

This spread is soo fun! You make these spreads so individual. I wish I had your creativity. Have a great day❤

[@Criss_2711]

Me encanta! Eres muy creativa e inspiradora 😊

[@karenvalsler1755]

You never ever ever have to apologise for being you. If people don't like what you say etc then they can do one!!! (Go away and that's being polite) 😅 You are you AMAZING 👏 ❤️

[@victoriarabbit9883]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SPREAD!!! I can't wait to see it after the pen. Changing topics: are you still planning on making your 4th of July spread with the Live Love Posh Fruits and Florals stickers? I've been waiting for so long for that spread! P.S. We love you too, Mary Ellen (and your sense of humor)

[@PlanningwithBumble]

I hope I remember! It’s on my google calendar 😂

[@dawnray3631]

Amazing spread!

[@nancyfox7636]

I love it!

[@ReadBrucey]

Love it

[@suzannesmith1677]

I love this so much!!! And I absolutely love listening to you figure it out as you go! You have a very pleasant and fun voice and you have helped me so much! I have only ever made one blackout spread and it was Halloween lol but I'm going to make another now. Thanks for all you do!

[@selenaplans]

This is so cool!

[@lydiabeiler3139]

Let’s do a ATP with this one

[@jessica_g16]

[@jowilliams5768]

I CANNOT draw a straight line 🤪!

[@lynetteplans7974]

Love your spread. I love Blackout spreads. I have done several. I think if done a lot, they wouldn't be special.🖤🤍🖤🤍😊
