This is for my crafting sections... From card making to scrapbooking... I will want to try other crafting ideas too. I am still very young and I will learn new skills too
So this year the Kikki K came out with the Christmas Packs
So there are a few colours
Sage and Silver
Pink and Gold
White and Gold
Black and I think Gold as I haven't see this one in person
But I did see the others but I only fell in love with one which I didn't think I would in which is was
White and Gold
So this is mine
I do have a few marks on the rings but decided I will still keep it after trying to remove the marks but I don't mind as it's not bugging me loads.
So these packs are priced at £60 in the UK and I went to the store to look at these planners and my god the white is the softest I found and I was like wow I need this in my life. It's also perfect for winter as its all gorgeous and perfect for me.
The bag is so gorgeous too and the box is wow too.
Look at my Instagram which is @lilacbleeds as I should the box and the planner on there all the time. It makes me happy to look at this planner.
I also have a video of me unboxing this beauty but I wasn't frame that well as I was trying out new angles so I am sooo sorry guys but I do have a PWM in this new planner too.
Sorry it's been a while. I just try and post videos when I can but I haven't been well at all the last couple of weeks. I am getting a COLD yet again (sad face).
But anyway I thought I would show my Large Kikki K Time Planner in Lilac And Gold ....
I made all my dividers myself from a New Blossom Paper Pad. Which is the a 12 x 12 size as in inches. I love this paper pad and that is why I used it for my planner dividers and because they mainly have purple as a colour in them I couldn't miss this by not having them in my planners too. The only planner they are not in is my Mist Blue Planner in Personal size ( medium size by Kikki K)
So lets get to the planer itself......
It is the soft peddle leather, in a soft lilac colour with gold foiled diamonds all ove the front and back and the inside is all leather too in the same colour as the front but no diamonds, It has a elastic band to close the planner which doesn't bother me that much as I find it better than some. It has 3 small pockets near the zip. with a pocket at the top and a sectary pocket behind these and then the zip and the another pocket behind the zip.
I even used the tissue paper that the Kikki K stuff come with to make a dashboard I am loving it and put a Rapunzel sticker which is from a Pen pal/ Snail Mail friend which I am in love with.
My Plan with Me in my personal medium Kikki K in Mist Blue.
Which I am loving more and more everyday :)
So I have used undated inserts from Plannerface which I am loving as they are similar to the Sew Much Crafting inserts I would buy these but I don't want dated ones so went with Plannerface and I am really happy about that
So I used my Canon 100D DSLR camera which loads of people are asking be about because I have taken some photos on this camera and look really crisp and I am very happy with this Camera which was a birthday present from my parents for my 25th birthday.
I have two lenses for the camera which is 18mm - 55mm and my new one which I got for Christmas last year which is 90mm - 300mm which was in CEX for a really good price and was happy with this gift which I found and paid for then parents gave me the money back as they weren't with me at the time of seeing this and I didn't want to wait as I knew it would go really quickly.
Anyway back to the video I don't use the auto as I don't know how it works as I find mine doesn't auto focus when filming so unless someone knows what I am meant to do please comment on this post all help will be great :)
So I have done a rewind spread as I haven't been well with a cold and then had a problem with my right hand. But I am on the mends so hopefully I can post more videos and try and keep with the filming and uploading.
I used some free stickers from a facebook group @
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1704022976545483/
I also use Plannerface as I said before.

Here is the video which will go live as soon as possible :)
Welcome back to my blog I am so sorry that I haven't been blogging that much.
I am trying to be a better blogger and Youtuber. But only time will help me out.
SO this week I am using the misfit kit from Plannerface Etsy shop. Which I am loving her stickers and everything. I am using her undated Weekly inserts which you print yourself. I am loving these inserts so much and I love they are undated too. You can start when ever you want and now waste any, which is a plus side.
So here is the video and I do ramble on about myself I am so sorry, but I think it's time to share my story and why I love certain things too.
It is my NEW Kikki K Planner which arrived today (21/06/2016) I am in love with it already.
I got it in the Mist Blue Colour and WOW is all I can say about the colour.
There really isn't much love for this planner out in the world and I want to share some love for it.
So this is after I filmed the whole unboxing of the planner :) I am in love it's a grey tone of blue with a green undertone of blue as the darker colour. It's just wow. That is my main word for this planner WOW.
So I ordered this from the UK side of the kikki-k.com/welcome-uk site.
This Ships from Singapore which means we don't have to pay import tax :) happy person right here. I also got this from their SALE up to 50% off (the planners are mainly 40%) I saw this back in April this year in the London Store and I fell in love with it but the only problem was I couldn't afford £42 so when I saw it in the sale I knew I just had to get it which it was £25.20 for the whole planner I didn't get anything else which was a shame but I knew I would be tight this month. So from the photos you can tell I have removed the tissue paper and the back of the paper part but I do have a photo of this.
So here is the inside of the box after I removed everything from the planner I kept everything for my blog which is new for me.
So I am loving the box it came in as my time planner from last year never came in a box so this is new for me. I can kept it too.
So here is a close up of the button of the clasp closure of the planner and it's just wow. The Gold colour isn't as bright as the time planner I had so I like the gold in this planner much more.
It's already set up and ready to be used which I am happy about. So I made my dashboard from my pictures on the Pottermore.com site as I am a huge Harry Potter Fan and in the pockets are photos of me and my partner and me and my best friend from Universal Harry Potter World and I love that they are in here. I kept the dividers in from Kikki K as it goes well with the planner which is a first for me to keep in really. Anyway I have made my this week tab as I didn't get the this week ruler as that is only in the Time Planners. There are no Blue ones this time either :( but I will get one if they do come out with one. But this is of Luna Lovegood which is on my favourite characters from the Harry Potter Books.
Sorry about the glare there but it's laminated so it's all shiny. Which I love to make it stronger and it will also protect it too.
So I have ordered some new inserts which are from Etsy shops
Inserts are from PlannerFace.etsy.com
Harry Potter Stickers I got from two shops Lateliercreatif06 & lepaperhouse (these are the shops names) Really good prices and they are PDF's so you can re-print these when ever you want them which I love. Just a shame that I don't have a circut machine to cut these or what ever cutting machines there are. But still would like one.
My weekly Spread.
My Tabs
Thanks for reading this blog and if you have time check out the video that goes with this at:
So today I wanted to share a little insight in to Handlettering.
Now I am not an expert at this and I pretty much watched videos on YouTube. But the best thing I do is practice and then change to the lettering to what I like.
Everywhere in the world has a different way of doing some letters. Like the Z's are always different to people. I like mine like Z but others do them as like a number 3.
So grab yourself a note book that isn't in use or scrap paper or even find online a graph paper PDF.
Then you need a pen or pencil what ever you had at hand. Then once you like the style you have come up with then find the right pen for you. I am lucky I was an art student back in the day (10 years ago) so I have loads of drawing pens and pencils even right pens with Indian ink too. BUT the only problem I have now is I haven't kept up with ART at all :( which is sad for me. So I am wanting to get back into the art side again.
So here is a photo I posted on my IG account (@lilacbleeds)
Here is a quick small look at the page I did on scrap paper. So I started using my Staedtler ball 432 M in gorgeous blue. This is what I had at hand. Then I moved on to a Sharpie Pen in blue, then I even tried with some Frixion Pens too but don't have a photo of this.
My finished look of my paper
I hope this helped. Thanks for reading and Checking out my Blog
Which are from Simple Stories and they are cheaper than Project Life ones that I was looking at and they are in much better colour than the Project Life.
I got one in Yellow and White and one in Black and White.
Yellow is for Pete and Black is me.
I am starting to like the black and white look of things and that is saying something really as I love everything purple!!!!
But you will see what I mean in a bit.
So I got some simple stories page protectors too, but 100% happy with them but they give me something else to work with and I am starting to like them more than before.
Here is the Black and White..... just wow
Here is the Yellow and White ...... actually like it not like me though but it's gorgeous.
The Simple Stories page pockets
So front two pages for both albums :) oh how much we have changed.
So what I am going to do is look at both pages for same thing.
Yellow for Pete and Purple for me
Left is for me and right for Pete
Halloween Horror Nights 25 years :)
I love the night but got really scared...... I am not a big horror movie fan but will watch them..... Now I can say I have been to a Horror Night and that is what I always wanted to do.
