Week 26 - June's Planner Page (and Re-doing Last Week's Page!)

Welcome to Week 26 of 2024 in my memory keeping planner. Today I'm sharing two things: A clean and simple layout of my week 26 and a complete re-do of my week 25 page. I share why I didn't care for last week's layout and how I fixed it in the hopes of inspiring those who may run into this problem as well.

Hope you wake up tomorrow feeling fantastic! Your planner pages look great! (As usual 😊)

[@randyrimington6178]

I really do like the second page best. By comparing the two I can see that the changes were more pleasing to me even though I liked the first page. By laying them side by side I really understood what you were saying about the flow of the page. Thank you for the tutorial. I love the creative way you teach. You have a wonderful gift, thanks for sharing.

[@lindaabel36]

I like the re-make better and thanks for explaining why. The page with the nurse is adorable.

[@crschwartz380]

Thanx for another great week . Hope you feel better soon. I really do like the 2nd one better. Thanx for showing both. Looking forward to next week's video.

[@jacquelinegirouard2913]

So happy to help you out dear friend xox

[@marycoughlin5645]

Annette hope you start feeling better sending hugs and healing wishes. Love the layouts❤❤

[@jacquelinegirouard2913]

Love to learn about composition with your week 25. Love your changes

[@caroleanderson1106]

Hope you feel better very soon! I know cold's are such a pain, especially during the summer. Knock wood, I've been lucky so far. Loved both pages, but the re-do was way better. Thank you and take care.

[@raynebannister4159]

Aloha from Hawaii 🌺 I love the 2nd one best! I agree with you on the 1st one. At first, I thought the 1st one was good until I saw your 2nd one. Thumbs-up 👍 😊❤ Thank you for sharing 🌺

[@jodieb4970]

I really like week 26's layout. It may be simple, but I will use it in my journal. I didn't think anything was wrong with your page from last week. Once you pointed out things, I saw what you didn't like. I don't think you needed to re-do it, but I'm glad you shared how you fixed it. I always learn something from your videos. I'm glad you're feeling better.

[@ckit8176]

Glad you are feeling better and love the nurse page! I saw nothing wrong with the original comedy page at all but when you put them side by side, I did like the new one too:) I hope you continue feeling better!-Carleen

[@paulinepolly1823]

I prefer the new week 25, too. Seeing the old and revised pages side-by-side really gives food for thought. I often don’t like my pages but I do feel I’m learning so much from you and I can feel my confidence growing. I really love your week 26. The colours work really well with the black and white photos. I have your Harmonious Hodgepodge papers but it’s soooo difficult to cut them up to use them! ❤️

[@mariebinkin4365]

Hi Annette. First, glad you are feeling better! Since I am not on Facebook, I really miss your weekly planner pages, so this was my lucky day--I got to see 2 pages😊 Your remake page was much better! I like symmetry, so this was more appealing to me. Your week 26 page was perfect. The bland photo color matched your bland mood while sick😢 Being a retired nurse, I loved the Florence stamp with the red cross emblem. Well done!!

[@lenas2778]

I like the new vesion is best I think. 😍

[@rebeccawright1171]

Thanks for the comparison for last week’s page. When I don’t like a page I’ve done, sometimes I don’t know why. This gave me some ideas and things to consider when evaluating my layout. As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously. Speedy recovery!

[@susanweber6861]

I like them both - two things I like better about #2 are the HA, Ha’s and the added white journal spot. But our views are subjective and I’m glad you are happy, that’s what matters.

[@ellaschippers6794]

The new version is super

[@janeywescott8850]

Love week 26. So glad you are feeling better. I liked the replacement. The original seemed chaotic to my eye as well.

[@tonibenavidez5151]

Yes I see what you mean. Great job.

[@elenafarinas3]

Love the second lsyout

[@cherylwells1266]

Both layouts are great, but do agree that the second one is a little better for me - Hope you feel better really soon, and thank you for sharing this even though you are still under the weather!!

[@pacools]

New version is very improved!

[@janewebster7661]

Nice page. .hope you feel better soon . Yes I like you redo page better than the frist one. And thank for sharing than. As I think we all have a page or two . Tha does not feel right. 😊❤😊

[@kdgowdy]

Love this week’s page, though not that you were sick! Going with B&W photos worked so well! I definitely prefer your redo page…I often struggle with tilted photos, though the grouping of three at the bottom didn’t bother me [I think because the straight photo grounded the two that touched]. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

[@kxpossum]

While at first look, I thought the first week 25 was fine, but just fine. I really like your new version of week 25. After comparing the two, I found the light colored mats on the pictures of the first week 25 to be distracting. They seemed to jump out at me. And after you pointing it out, the page did seem top heavy. The redo page is more harmonious and flows smoothly. It is very enjoyable to look at and doesn’t have that scattered feeling. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and work process, Annette. I learn so much from watching your videos.

[@ellenlageveen]

Hi Annette, I agree with you the 2nd one is better! I thought the first one was good, but its amazing how things can look different….I hope you feel better soon…

[@majaooms3435]

Good to hear you are feeling better 🎉 love the page and also love the improvements on your week 25. So much more balanced. Love how you always seem to find a matching cardstock with the design paper. Is there a possibility to release matching cardstock with the design paper packs? I would be a huge fan 🤗😅

[@suziescrapbook3574]

I much prefer the new version. I love the clean lines.

[@sunshinegirl8214]

Glad to hear you’re better! I do like the second one better. The first was not really bad, but it would have bothered you! LOL

[@celineworotniak4349]

I never would have noticed the concerns you had with your first page but as you make mention of them, I see what you mean. Did you know that if you add whiskey to your hot water and honey it can do wonders for a bad cold (sometimes you need more than one - just sayin). Hope you feel better each day Annette. Thanks for the great video while you are under the weather. Happy July 4th.

[@craftaholic-creations]

I like the new version better even though the first one was okay,, if you had not redone the page no one would 19:43 have known the difference.

[@nancycarlson3606]

Original page made me uncomfortable! Redo is better imho. Easier to follow, page flows better. Hope you’re feeling better!
