I bought the 2021 planner book online and it already had beautiful sentiments and flowers through the months but I wanted to add that personal touch before giving it to my granddaughter before she goes off to college this winter.  

The planner measure 7 1/2" x 9 and will only be covering the front, back and one page on the inside with the beautiful Stamperia Orchid and Cats collection along with the Craft O'Clock Speciality Coated Paper with the Craft O'Clock Vintage Treasure - A Sheet of Extra embellishments from these two name brands.  Since my granddaughter wants lots of butterflies in her planner, I added these gorgeous butterflies throughout her planner.  I made sure to write in family birthdays and addresses in the monthly planner so that she will be reminded to call them on their birthdays.

The Craft O'Clock Speciality Coated Paper is a specially laminated paper which is more resistant to abrasions during gluing covers of albums/notebooks and  its size of 9 1/2" x 23 1/2" makes gluing cover of album/notebook with one sheet of paper.

I scored the side of the speciality paper first against the planner and applied the  the largest Scor-Tape .  Then I taped the front using the Scor-Tape and then folded the paper over the planner and then taped the back and folded the paper onto the planner.  I used an exacto knife to cut off the excess paper.  

I fussy cut the flowers, labels and butterflies.  I used the NUVO Crystal Glaze on the butterflies and labels and let dry overnight.  After I finished each page of the planner, I applied more NUVO Crystal Clear Glaze on the flowers to bring out the colors and add more dimension to the scene.   

I used Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue to apply the Stamperia Glamour Sparkles-Sparkling White to the front and inside of the planner around the flowers and labels.  I really love the clear chunks of crystals to add that special WOW to each image!  

I added the Stamperia Decorative Cat Chipboard and Stamperia Chipboard Orchids and Cat to the back and front of the planner and lightly sponged a light brown ink to the cats before gluing these on with the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue.  I fussy cut the flowers and used my fingers to mold the back of the flowers and glued the flowers on the edge and adhered to the card.  This gives the flowers a 3D appearance and pops out more.  

  Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.
