Unboxing Of a Kikki K Planner Medium in Mist Blue

Welcome back everyone

This is a very big blog post for this of course

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.

Handlettering

Hello Everyone 

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

See you next time

My New 6x8 Albums and Some Page Look Ats

Hello everyone and welcome back :)

So I have ordered two Albums from Papermaze.co.uk

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.
