    I can't afford all these planners, so I have the quilted black cover for my planner. I invested in a Happy Planner hole punch and a paper cutter. I make my own pages with computer paper, highlighters, colored pencils and colored pens (for color coding). Instead of stickers I use stencils to create designs for my pages. As for my planning style? I make a weekly goals section on a page, followed by the weekly spread. Using the computer paper has been awesome because it's truly a blank canvas and I can experiment with different spreads every week.

    I love using stickers, but budget is also a concern. I decided to also use stamps. I did buy what I needed last winter, but it was so expensive. I have enough basics, including a hole punch, so I can make what serves me well now. Now is a great time to office paper (before school begins). My supplies are well organized, so that helps me maximize using what I have too.

    That's exactly what I did when I first started out, except I used an old Franklin Covey 7 ring binder cover that i found at Goodwill for $1.00! I'm pretty good at doodling, so I just cut down & punched computer paper - and doodled icons, headers, boxes, etc to look like stickers and colored them in with cheapo dollar store colored pencils. I actually really enjoy that kind of planning! You're right that it's a blank canvas and it's fun to experiment with different layouts every week. It just takes me SO long to create the weekly spreads because I am a perfectionist when it comes to my art (even if it's just doodles haha). If it didn't take me so long to create my spreads from scratch, I'd still do it that way! But, over the years I've collected tons of stickers, stamps, pens, stencils, etc. and I use the Happy Planner. Do you have an Instagram account or something showcasing your spreads? I'd love to see how you create them!

    I love this! Thank you for sharing! I began adding stickers to my planner in March and then I became obsessed with all the things! The dashboards, accessories, stickers, pens... then the Happy Planner did a new release and I began slowly purchasing all the new things from the release, including planners! I picked up 2 classics, a mini and a Big, so I could see the differences and see how I could make them work for me. Now I have 2 minis, 4 classics, 1 more on the way because I had to get a new Rongrong horizontal, 2 Big, one for I’m going to try to use for memory Planning with pics, and one horizontal I want to use for my Faith planner. I quickly realized one planner wasn’t going to work for me! I am thinking about doing the transformer planner and also a Franken Planner. That way I have everything I need at my fingertips and not so many planners to juggle with. I know it’s excessive, but I’m trying to find my planner peace and see what works best for me. The real test will come in July when the new planners start. Then I’ll be able to have a clearer picture of how everything works together. I am so thankful for this video! Thank you for taking the time to do this! I knew I didn’t want to try to juggle so many planners but I need them all for different purposes. My husband of course thinks I’m crazy lol 😂 I don’t like the layout of the Faith planner, which is why I’m wanting to use a horizontal layout, and I’ve tested it in my Classic Happy Planner But, it’s not quite big enough, I write super small and I’m using the full box, plus another full sheet I’ve divided up into each day of the week, and a half sheet... each and every week. I am really hoping I can get away with just the planner space and maybe a half sheet in the Big to do my Faith planning. I tend to write a lot! I also wanted a daily journal, so I picked up another horizontal for that. I’ve been using a mini and it’s not enough space, so I think the classic will be enough space for that purpose. But I could totally put a few of these into one planner with their own sections and make it work. That’s the goal anyway.

    Ooh, girl! The planning bug hit you hard! 😂 But, believe me, I can relate! A lot of the fun is trying things out and seeing what works and what doesn’t. I might suggest for the faith planner that you try a happy notes instead of a planner if you are willing to date it yourself. That way you are not constricted to preset areas for writing and you can just do a continuous journal layout. Just an idea, but do what works best for you. 😁 Happy planning!

    1. Thanks for the information about erasable pens. I didn't know that they also have highlighters, so that was very exciting to me! Our two sons (Senior and college student) LOVE the erasable pens! I doubt that I'll be able to persuade them to use regular pens much any more! 2. I had never heard the difference between the Franklin vs. Transformer set ups. I really liked those ideas. I prefer the Franklin. 3. I appreciated the simple steps. They simplify so much in my head to areas, in a size that serves me well and having enough supplies that serve me well. Thanks for the input.

I've heard of frankenplanning but not transformative planning and I think the latter is the perfect solution. Now, to score some extra covers for a discount somewhere. Can't wait to see the new planners for 2020! Even just looking is fun so I may be going into Michael's to look at the clearance rack here soon!

    Glad to hear it! And yes, you will want to consider going up to either 1.5” or 1.75” discs if you are moving to transformer. The happy planner expander discs are 1.75” which are a little big IMO. I am using 1.5” discs on my planner this year and they are just big enough to give me some breathing room without being SO big. I got mine at Staples (Arc system) on clearance but you can find lots of options on Amazon. 👍🏼

    This is wonderful content! I am new to Happy Planner since I just started in February of this year. Started with a Big memory planner and quickly decided it's just too big to use as a daily planner for me. Excellent for "scrapbooking" as it is intended for!! Got a classic planner that was outdated and cheap to try and decided that was a good fit for me. Bought a new one when they all came out and it starts in June. Meanwhile my daughter (who is super artsy) made dividers and a printable calendar to get us from March to June and we've already been using the new planners. I love them and I've found the size for me. However, I needed a Faith notebook and also the Home binder somehow added and I've been looking and watching videos on how to do the Frankenplanners and Transformer planners and I've been SO overwhelmed. Your video is excellent in it's simple approach to explaining how they go together side-by-side! Now I get it!! Thank you..
