[@MeredithPlans]

Wow, Terri, thank you so much! :)

[@territhomas2330]

I hope that you are making more planning vids....I seriously miss watching them!! Sooooo much creativity!! ;)

[@jjsmummy2108]

Wow! Great idea using stamps as opposed to stickers everywhere. Soooo creative too ☺ I love how colourful this spread is. You're quite talented. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@amandawitt1728]

I love the stamps. It makes me want to invest in some stamps instead of having to buy stickers all the time. I love it!

[@MeredithPlans]

+Amanda Witt stamping is super fun, I totally recommend trying it!

[@HollyUhde]

Another winner!!!! Loooovvveeee this layout! Thank you for sharing!

[@MeredithPlans]

Holly Uhde My pleasure...thank YOU for watching and taking the time to comment!! :)

[@msdollb]

OMGOODNESS! By far this is my favorite tutorial. I just ordered a planner and I'm super excited to try your way of planning. Watching you has convinced me not to buy all those planner kits, when I know I'm really just like your style of planning. Terrific work babe, keep them coming.

[@MeredithPlans]

+msdollb you are so sweet! Thanks you! I'm so excited for you to get your planner and to get creating! Please be sure and post what you create so I can see!! Hope you love it! :)

[@TheJollyFatElf]

This is gorgeous! I love your stamping and coloring!

[@MeredithPlans]

TheJollyFatElf thank you so, so much! I'm pretty new to the whole planner decorating thing even though I've used an Erin Condren planner for the past three years, but it is just so much fun! :) I think I'm officially addicted! :)

[@EmileeSpeaks]

Love it! It's nice to see a fellow planner channel use something other than all stickers! Love the creativity!

[@MeredithPlans]

Emilee Speaks Thank you for your sweet comment...I really do love stamping in my planner! :)

[@WilkinsonFamily-f2k]

[@MeredithPlans]

Debbie, you are absolutely the sweetest! Thank you so very much for taking the time not only to watch the videos, but to leave such sweet and encouraging comments!!!

[@MakeupwithaHeart]

I've been binge watching all your videos and you've convinced me that stamping is the way to go! At first, I didn't even know you could stamp things but it seems much more economical and less wasteful--two things that are very important to me. I don't know if I'll be as good as you but you inspire me to just go for it! :D

[@MeredithPlans]

+MakeupWithAHeart I'm so excited that you're delving into stamping! There are so many reasons I love stamping, and I totally agree with you...reusability is definitely one of them! I love that I can use the same stamps over and over in different ways to create totally different looks! Can't wait to see what you create...be sure and show us! :)

[@ericagdesigns]

Omg I am blown away by this!!! my planner videos suck compared to this. hahaha. I need this is my life

[@MeredithPlans]

***** I'll have to check out your videos!! Off to look now... :)

[@bgkgm640]

You're so artistic! beautiful layouts, thanks for sharing.

[@MeredithPlans]

moonbeamstarlight Agreed! He's my favorite, too!! :)

[@animelover1023]

You're shading is a million times better then mine... So awesome!

[@erieli1305]

Ive been binge watching planner videos all week and this has got to be the best one yet! So creative. I watched it with my 7 yr old and he loved it too :)

[@MeredithPlans]

Aw, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@BrittanyOlson92]

Your layouts are so cute! I've been watching your videos all morning! I'm more of a sticker person than a stamper...I do have some stamps I use for things I repeat often, but your videos are inspiring me to use more...I wish I didn't have to use so much of the space in each day for things we do so I could decorate more like this! lol

[@carrieruble]

Omg! This is superb!!! I'm in awe. Thank you for sharing.

[@MeredithPlans]

Carrie Ruble it's absolutely my pleasure! Thank YOU for watching and taking the time to write such a sweet comment!! :)

[@MeredithPlans]

madisonmikayla101 thanks so much for your sweet words! I love stamping! It can be addictive, though... ;) Be sure and show us what you'd create when you get some stamps, I'd love to see!

[@brandynettleton1658]

So incredibly creative and beautifully done!

[@MeredithPlans]

Thanks so much, Brandy! :)

[@ritawilson8015]

Another video idea for your list...supplies storage. Saw a glimpse of your stamp storage I. This video but would love to see it up close. Love your planner. Please keep the videos coming. 😊

[@MeredithPlans]

+Rita Wilson I've gotten lots of requests for a storage video, so that's definitely on my list of things to film! :) Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! :)

[@pmfullbright]

[@joyfoster123]

Your layout is beautiful and I really like the way you plan your week. Very simple, but OMGoodness super cute. I have been curious about using stamps in my planner and your video helped me understand how. Off to Michael's!

[@MeredithPlans]

Hahaha, Michael's can be a dangerous place! :)

[@onlychildofgod]

I LOVED this so much!! So creative. I am new to the planner community and have been od'ing on YT videos the past two weeks for inspiration. I want to imitate this so bad. We'll see what I can come up w/ for washi & stickers. Keep up the good work!!

[@MeredithPlans]

+onlychildofgod glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching! :)

[@beccamuzio]

love love love :) I put my washi in order while watching this video :)

[@MeredithPlans]

Rebecca Shaw that makes me so happy! :)

[@vickylin5126]

I don't know if I have commented before, but looks adorable!

[@PreciousWon]

OMG...I love your spreads!! Seriously....I think I just got light headed...lol

[@MeredithPlans]

ThatOneGirl that is the best compliment ever!! Haha, thank you so much!! :)

[@chaotic_momster630]

You have inspired me to try stamping in my EC! Is there a certain type of dew drop you are using in your planner so it doesn't bleed through. Not sure which ones to look for, it seems like there are quite a few different ones. Thanks!!

[@MeredithPlans]

Chaotic_Momster that makes me so happy! If you post it somewhere, but sure and let me know so that I can see what you create! As for as inks, my go-to black is VersaFine onyx black, and for colors, the VersaMagic chalk ink and Brilliance inks. Hope that helps! I've gotten lots of questions about inks, so I guess I should probably do a video on them... :)

[@chaotic_momster630]

Meredith Plans Please!! That would be great if you did a vid on ink!! I just saw a vid where you can even stamp on washi!! I am excited to try all of this!

[@MeredithPlans]

Chaotic_Momster yes, you CAN stamp on washi! It requires a different ink, but it's fabulous! I'll be sure and include that in the upcoming ink video! :)

[@MeredithPlans]

Thank you so much, Yas! I really do love stamping! :)

[@loripaigea]

Your coloring is awesome. Can't wait for you to make a video on just coloring. :)

[@estelyssajewel]

New subbie here!! :). Not only because I ❤️🍊💛💚💙💜💗 rainbows too but I really love how you decorate your planner 😻😻

[@MeredithPlans]

Thanks so much, Alyssa! I love me a good rainbow, too! :)

[@shishi81]

soo cute! makes me want to get more stamps and ink! I love to plan and eventually want to do my own channel. I don't have very many stamps though and this just makes me want to go to michaels lol and go stamp crazy!

[@MeredithPlans]

Thank you all so much!!! :)

[@elysianicole8259]

I love you layouts! Could you by chance post your favorite stamp shops and the inks you prefer?

[@MeredithPlans]

Elysia Nicole thanks so much! I've gotten lots of questions about ink and stamps, so I'm planning some videos on those topics! Stay tuned! :)

[@janiemelgoza166]

So nicely done.

[@jenmckeeman]

You have completely inspired me to try stamping. It is mesmerizing to watch you plan - the way you stamp and color your layouts is more creative than many plan with me I've ever seen! Do you recommend any stamping ink type for planner stamping beginners? :)

[@MeredithPlans]

+jenmckeeman you are so sweet, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! I really like the VersaMagic chalk inks and the Brilliance inks for colors, and VersaFine in Onyx Black is my go-to for black. Hope that helps! :)

[@Afaithfulmommy]

Since you've been using this planner for awhile, and you've only done two plan with me videos, I think you should do a flip through video for us. We'd love to see that!

[@MeredithPlans]

Alissa Hall I've had a few people ask for that, and I can absolutely do that. I didn't know that was something people did, but it's such a fun idea! Then you all can see my planner when I used to not decorate it... :)

[@the.readingraven]

Hello! New subscriber here, just got to say I love your videos! I wanted to get more into stamping for my planner but was't sure of where to start or how creative to be. I always see stamping used for lists but it is so creative how you do it! I don't know how busy you are but do you think you can make a video about stamping for beginners, like the proper ways to stamp, clean your stamps, etc. and maybe do a video about your fav stamp inks and the best stamps shops or brands you like? So far I only have a few stamps from Studio L2E, I ordered a few from Sweet Stamp Shop today but nervous about buying from other brands cause I am so new to the stamp world. These are just suggestions but I think others would definitely like to see that as well!

[@SaoriAmz]

Absolutely love this!

[@tami1796]

Thank you for sharing your videos

[@mylittletribe]

Whoa! Beautiful!

[@MeredithPlans]

carla martin Thanks so very much!!! :)

[@jens7621]

More planner stamping videos please💞

[@kibble23]

I am loving your designs and creativity. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us. Quick question, how do you store your stamps?

[@MeredithPlans]

nivasha thank you! I just have a simple basket "storage system" for my stamps, although I use the term system loosely...I've had a couple of requests to see how I keep them, so I can show that in an upcoming video. :)

[@jacquelinerodriguez9589]

love it.

[@MeredithPlans]

JACKIE TABACH Thank you!! :)

[@ksha]

I love this.

[@natalyornelas]

Omg LOOOVE!!!

[@MeredithPlans]

Nataly Ornelas Thank you!!!! :)

[@MeredithPlans]

Megan, for some reason KZbin won't let me reply to your comment directly (I have no idea why...I'm a KZbin newbie, though, so it might just be user error...), but Husband is my film guy. I actually just use his phone (a Samsung Galaxy S5) to record, and then he edits it all for me in Adobe Premiere Pro. Hope that helps! :)

[@oopsmeg1205]

Meredith Plans Ah... Ok, thanks cause I just use my iPhone and then edit it on iMovie... Well, anyway me, my mom, and my cousin all love yours spreads!

[@melindaoa8668]

Very inspiring! Tfs!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Enjoyed your video!

[@MeredithPlans]

Thank you! :)

[@maweereyes1255]

love itt! Subscribed!

[@MeredithPlans]

+Mawee Reyes I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! :)

[@annmariepat1]

Okay Meredith. You've got me. I'm addicted. I'm pretty sure you are with your family enjoying the ocean sunshine so no need to answer this until you get back but I have one question: I'm getting ready to buy stamps. I need to buy acrylic blocks to use the stamps with, correct? Any suggestions on which one, two or three I should start out with? Thanks! :)

[@MeredithPlans]

+AMP Filon Just got back from the beach late yesterday! Yay!!!!! I'm so excited you're going to stamp!!! So, yes, you definitely need some acrylic blocks. My favorite is the Recollections set you can get at Michael's...it comes with three different sized blocks, including a tiny one, which is great for small planner stamps (and of course you can use a coupon!). I think it's around $14.00 regular price. It's an especially good set, too, because it has grooves to hold onto which makes it a little less likely to slip while you're gripping it. I've got a link to the set up in the description box if you want to click through and see exactly what it looks like so you'll know what you're looking for at the store. How fun! I can't wait to see what you do, you'll have to show me!!!

[@DaraV730]

I've been waiting for a new layout. Will you post a new one for this week?

[@MeredithPlans]

+Dara Keyes YES! I have one in the works, just finishing up the edits! With the holiday Labor Day weekend and a sick kiddo, I'm just running a bit behind this week, but it'll be up soon! :)

[@amyandmink5158]

Can we see a planner flip through?

[@MeredithPlans]

Amy Smith You mean just a video where I go through all the weeks I've decorated so far for the year? I've never seen a video like that, but it's such a cool idea! I can definitely do one of those!

[@amyandmink5158]

YES! thanks

[@MeredithPlans]

Amy Smith my pleasure...thank YOU for such a cool idea! :)

[@denisevasquez2757]

Do you have anymore to show. You have inspired me to really get into stamping. Do you use another platform ?

[@dianejoseph7464]

That was awesome! I love it! Can u teach me?😳 lol What are the coloring pencils u use?

[@MeredithPlans]

:) I use just the standard Crayola colored pencils. There are plenty of other fancier options out there, but I like that the Crayolas are so affordable!

[@ericagdesigns]

Do you wrap your washi tape around a flat card or did you buy it like that? Where did you get the plastic card?

[@MeredithPlans]

+Erica G | FromBrainsToBeauty I got it that way when I purchased some washi samples from an Etsy shop, and I think the idea is genius! I'm not sure how she made the cards, but they are fabulous!

[@ericagdesigns]

+Meredith Plans I was thinking that. I want my washi tape like that. fits better in drawers and pouches when flat like that

[@majohnse]

You may have already answered this . . . I noticed that some of the icon stamps seemed to stamped over stamped dots, but one of them looks like you punched it out. What size punch did you use? BTW, great video.

[@dianadasilva470]

Where are your circle stamps from?? The ones you used to mark your to-dos! And where is the payday stamp from? :)

[@MeredithPlans]

+Diana Tavares the larger circle is from the Studio l2e Iconic Outlines stamp set, and the smaller circle for the bulleted to do list is from the Studio l2e Plan It stamp set. The payday banner is from the Sweet Stamp Shop Planner Flags stamp set. If you'd like to click directly to those instead of googling, you can check out the description box above...I've posted all the resources with links. Hope that helps! :)

[@elynn0911]

Amazing!!! TFS :)

[@MeredithPlans]

elynn0911 Thank you! :)

[@rebeccagwin3244]

What size punch do you use to punch out your stamped circles with the icons on them? I have the stamp set with the circles but can't figure out what size punch I need for that size stamp.

[@MeredithPlans]

Rebecca, I used a 5/8" punch. Hope that helps! :)

[@mkdnoelanii]

what acrylic blocks do you use? I'm looking for small one to use with my planner. thanks :)

[@MeredithPlans]

I use a set of four acrylic blocks from Michael's, and I particularly love it because it includes a tiny block that is fantastic for stamping some of the smaller planner stamps. I posted a link up in the description box if you'd like to check it out. Hope that helps!

[@oopsmeg1205]

What do you use to record and edit?

[@oopsmeg1205]

Megan Rose (For editing, the speeding up part..., and the program)

[@ericagdesigns]

Everything seemed so doable until you pulled out the colored pencils. haha. I'm not artistic. it would look like a 5 year old colored it if it were me. lol

[@MeredithPlans]

***** It's totally doable...just have fun with it! :)

[@BrazenFinesse]

How come I'm not that creative 😩

[@MeredithPlans]

I'm a firm believer that everyone has their own personal flavor of creativity!

[@dianejoseph7464]

Are u an art teacher?

[@MeredithPlans]

I WISH! What a fantastic job that would be! :)
