Personalized Planner

I've been on the hunt for a new planner. My previous one worked for a few years for me, but it had a snap closure. Things kept falling out of it, and I always worried that I'd lose something important. So when I saw one at the DI that had a zipper closure, I snatched it up. It was only $2.00. And in perfect condition!

To personalize it a bit, I decided to break out some vinyl that I won in a giveaway a while ago. This is what I came up with.

I thought about making a bigger flower to put in the center of the front of it, but decided that less was more in this case.

I was out and about the other day, and had several people comment on how cute my planner is. One lady even asked me if I painted the name and flowers on......I wish I was that talented!!

So cute. Did you use a Cricut to cut the vinyl? I love the font!
