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

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Randy. I had hoped by sharing the two like this that it would be a good teachable moment, so I'm happy you felt that it was. Your comment really meant a lot to me this morning, as I've been feeling a bit of self-doubt lately. It happens from time to time, and all it takes it a nice comment like yours to get me going again, so thank you very much.

[@gerialder5265]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Geri! Feeling all better now.

[@lindaabel36]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Linda. Glad you enjoyed both pages and the re-do of Week 25 especially.

[@marycoughlin5645]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Mary. Feeling back to normal again.

[@SweetLeighMadeScrapbooking]

Love the second page layout too! I agree with all of your self criticism and appreciate your walking us thru it. Very helpful!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you appreciated that.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Annette, I really really enjoyed watching you create the summer cold 🥶 one. And I totally agree with you on the other page, was very much improved and very much better in every way. And I’m very much the same if I don’t like it then, I just won’t be happy with it. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Mags! I was pleased with the new and improved one too, so I'm happy you agree on the changes. Have a great week and see you next time!

[@and1964rea]

Great to hear you are feeling a little better - Speedy recovery! Love both pages, and I do prefer the new design for week 25 and totally get what you meant by top heavy! Thanks for sharing the remake 🙂

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much!

[@jacquelinegirouard2913]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

That's awesome Jacquie. I had hoped it was a good teaching moment. I'm pleased now, and quite honestly I am surprised I've only re-done a layout once in all these years. There've been plenty I've done where I wasn't super happy, but I felt like this one could lend well to sharing with others, so I'm glad you found that helpful.

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Chava. I'm glad you agree on the fixes to make the page better, and you liked seeing the process. See you next week!

[@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!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Rebecca. I'm glad you enjoyed the comparison and reasoning behind the changes to Week 25. Sometimes we don't know why, we just have a feeling something isn't right. I agree. I do feel the best way I find to deal with it is to hop onto Pinterest and search planner pages and see what jumps out to my eye as pretty and pleasing, and ask myself why? What is it about this that I love? It then comes to you and helps you look at your page differently, or even start into a new page with a fresh perspective. Feeling much better now, thank you for your well wishes.

[@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! ❤️

[@AnnetteGreen]

That's so nice to hear Pauline. Thank you. I'm delighted you are learning and your confidence is growing. That's music to my ears! I hear that a lot about Harmonious Hodgepodge, which is a huge compliment. Sounds like you need a second pack of it. One to cut and one to hoard. 😂

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Carole, as of today I can say I'm 100% back to my "normal" self. Feeling good and back at life! I hope you don't get that Summer cold. It's funny, I rarely get sick, but it always seems to be in the beginning of Summer if I do.

[@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!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Marie. Feeling all better now! I'm glad you agree on the changes to Week 25. I feel so much better about it now too. Sounds like you NEED that Florence stamp set. It's pretty great!

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Jodie and thank you! I'm always happy to share the good and not-so-good in my pages. I feel like we can all learn a little something from that. And I'm happy to say I'm back to my "normal" self and no more yucky cold. thanks!

[@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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Carleen. When that collection first came out (with the nurse) I thought I would never use it because I never get sick, or go to the doctor, or been in the hospital. Haha! Joke was on me, huh?! I'm glad you liked the re-do. I do too!

[@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 🌺

[@AnnetteGreen]

Aloha! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked the second one better, as I do too. 😊

[@raynebannister4159]

​@AnnetteGreen I forgot to mention that your June Planner is beautiful. Your placement of pictures that you arrange with the events that happened are amazing. I love your vision and design of your planner. Happy 4th of July. Have fun and take care of your cold. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.❤

[@gpjseverin2989]

Hello Annette…….truly you are my “sister” in planner layouts and design……Lol 😂. I totally understood your thought process…..because when I look at my pages…..I have to LOVE them. I will stare at them for days…..and then make it work for me. No slapping pictures and things down…..then moving on. It’s just my process. It drives my friends crazy! I did love both your layouts though…….lol……and thank you for sharing! Glad you are on the mend!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Well, hey there sister! LOL. We have to like what we do and I'm a bit of a perfectionist at times, so there's no choice but to make it the best I can. So I'm happy to hear you relate! Thanks for watching.

[@jacquelinegirouard2913]

So happy to help you out dear friend xox

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks again!! You're the best!

[@janeywescott8850]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Janey. Feeling all better now! Glad you like both pages and the new improved Week 25.

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Susan, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like them both, but I think we can agree that #2 is better. Thanks for watching!

[@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!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Cheryl. Feeling back to "normal" now, thanks. I'm glad you liked the re-do of Week 25.

[@judys4977]

I completely agree, the second one is better, allthough the first one wasn't to bad. I often try to put my pictures like you did on your first page, but I always end up putting them straight. 😅

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Judy!

[@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…

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Ellen, and thank you. Feeling all better finally. I'm glad you like the re-do of Week 25 and enjoyed the comparison.

[@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!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Kim, feeling all better finally! Glad you liked both pages and agree with the changes of Week 25. Thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

This is exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you. I'm so happy you agree with the problems of the previous one and the fixes of the second one, and that you're finding inspiration and learning new things here. That means everything to me as a creator, so thank you so much for your comment.

[@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. 😊❤😊

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Jane. All better now. Yes, we all probably do have that one page or two. I probably wouldn't have bothered to re-do Week 25, but felt it was a good teaching opportunity, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@lenas2778]

I like the new vesion is best I think. 😍

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks! I agree. I am very happy with it now. Thanks for watching.

[@elenafarinas3]

Love the second lsyout

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks, me too!

[@tonibenavidez5151]

Yes I see what you mean. Great job.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks! I'm glad you see it. Thanks for watching.

[@ellaschippers6794]

The new version is super

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! I tend to agree. 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@pacools]

New version is very improved!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Right?! Thanks. It was making me crazy that first one. Now I'm happy.

[@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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! Much better now. I'm glad you liked the re-do. Yes, I just couldn't let that one go. Had to fix it!

[@suziescrapbook3574]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks, I agree of course. Thanks for watching!

[@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 🤗😅

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Maja, thanks so much. I think you'll be happy to see my upcoming paper collection will have coordinating "solids" in the pack that match the pattern images nicely. The "solids" will have a bit of texture to them, so it won't be boring and flat colored. I hope that appeals to you.

[@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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Celine! Now why didn't I think of that. Would that be considered a "hot totty?" Either way, I think I'll try that next time I get a cold. Any excuse to incorporate whiskey into my life! I'm happy to hear you didn't think anything was wrong with the first layout, but then say what I meant in remaking it. That's a good teachable moment there!

[@poupard1000]

Just wondering...why the tape runner? It would stick with liquid glue wouldn't it? Great page...sorry you were sick. Hope you are better now!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Robin. Definitely much better now. On large pieces, tape runner covers much more service area and the tape runner I use is ultra permanent. The glue is simply there for those outer edges and to help me slide things into position. This is just how I like to do it. Adhesive types are a personal choice. What works for you best is what you should use. Thanks for watching and Happy 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.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks, and you're probably right. It was just bothering me too much to let it go, so I figured it would be a good teaching opportunity. Thanks for watching.

[@nancycarlson3606]

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

[@AnnetteGreen]

Me too Nancy! Very uncomfortable. That's a good way to put it. I'm glad you like it. Me too. Thanks for watching.
