Local and small businesses are inspiring, especially when you know the real deal in their starting stories. I personally love supporting small businesses here in the Philippines because I see how these owners value hardwork a lot and how they create impacts in their customers’ lives through their dedication. One of my favorites is of course, my friend’s (not so) small business, KeenaPrints. I’ve been blogging about the shop’s stickers for a couple of posts on my site before and now, I want to highlight the business beyond stickers.

Since Keena is a very talented and creative artist slash entrepreneur, her designs have already expounded for almost a year of me purchasing from her shop. Before, she focuses on her sticker designs but now, she also has become innovative for the needs of planner girls and journaling enthusiasts. Her designs are versatile - KeenaPrints has the stickers for all occasions and emotions - and it was nice seeing them to be placed on other stuff aside from stickers.

As a sucker for washi tapes, my washi tape lover self became really happy when Keena designed for her first washi in 2018. She first designed an exclusive collaboration designed washi tape for a planner group in the Philippines back in 2016 (I think), and for 2018, this is a year for her new washi tapes. I’ve been collecting them since the start of her bundle / collection series, and I really adore her designs and color choices. I use her washi tapes on my planner spreads and journal pages. I even design my devotion journal with her washi tapes.

Hi all!

I’m back with another planner post and this time, I’ll be telling you some ways on how I use my stickers on my planner. I loved stickers ever since I was a young girl but my collection of planner stickers started to bloom only this year. I became so hooked with it that I see to it I buy (little by little) every month! Whenever I see my stash, sometimes I become hesitant to use them because they are all so lovely and even if it is a ridiculous thought, I have to remind myself that I actually bought them to make my planners (and even journals) prettier and more colorful (lol).

Here are some ways on how I use my planner stickers:

1. Monthly spread

Honestly, I wasn’t really fond of using my planners’ monthly spread at first, but when I searched and asked for ideas on how to use them, one idea that was brought to my knowledge is the “monthly highlights” spread. The idea of this is to decorate the daily boxes with what can represent the highlight for the day - for my case, planner stickers. Here’s one of my monthly highlights spread using Keenaprints stickers.

2. Weekly spread

I find it boring when my weekly spread are not decorated, even in the minimalist way. One cure that I did for this was to use planner stickers that are suitable for the tasks / notes that I write in my weeklies. Here’s an example.

The Love for Planners

Are you a planner person? If yes, then go ahead, read and enjoy as I share my love for planners. If not, then maybe you’ll realize you want to try planning too and achieve your own planner peace 😉 My love for planners started few years ago with having different kinds of planners in 1 year. My hubby in one point said to me: “Do you really need that many?” Hihi! I only answered him with a smile. 😉…
