Hey Planners, Crafters and Creatives!
If you’ve been looking for new inspiration, have been feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start with your planner spreads, scrapbooks, organisation or craft activities then this is the channel for you.
I’m part of the planning community but I noticed a significant lack of UK based planners, plus I have tons of ideas that I want to share! I’m also looking share my scrapbook techniques and other craft activities, as well as my shopping habits!
I hope you will enjoy my journey. They are not just for England, but worldwide, although there are a few extra tips for you in the UK.
I scrapbook, plan, junk journal and love anything paper, stickers, washi and pens.
I really hope you enjoy my channel and I can’t wait to spend time getting to know you!

Let’s get messy, and make it beautiful!

Hi, how do you spell suteky? I'd like to find their site. Thanks
It’s Suteki Stickers - hope you find them and love them 🥰
Hello thank you for sharing your haul I loved it. 🥰❤ Please could you tell me the name of your shop?🥰
Thank you! And thanks for joining me listening to my chatter 😂 It’s Scribbles By Starlight (I’m on Etsy) xx
@@messyandbeautiful wow great thank you I will take a look. 👀 🤣❤️
I have just made an order from your shop. 🌼🌻❤🥰
@@messyandbeautiful you're welcome I love your channel and your shop. 🥰
Great haul, you did well to be so restrained!
Thanks! Probably lack of time in reality 😂
We had such a wonderful day. Thank you . If anyone wants me to do the workshop as a video, I can. Xx
Fun stuff, all of it. I just made a video about the Viviva watercolor colorsheets, they've got great pigments! 💕
I totally agree! I was so surprised how saturated the colour was given the size of the pan! Love them! I need more colour palettes 😂
You are so welcome x
Thank you sarah ❤
Hello I am a new subscriber and I loved your video I am a bit of a sticker hoarder 😁 I love your gifts that you have had. Your husband and mum are very sweet. Please could you do a journal flip through. 🥰🐝🦋💐
Hello fellow sticker hoarder 👋 Thanks so much for the sub!! I have a setup of the tarot journal I made with this stuff but I still haven’t edited it yet and it’s been sat in the queue since Jan! (You’ll get used to this with me 😂) There’s a flip through of my reading journal and planner though so hopefully you’ll enjoy those! 🥰
@@messyandbeautiful ha ha brilliant I am so grateful beautiful I think your amazing thank you so much. 🥰🤗🧚♂️🎶💐 Blessings.
Love all of it and so did stationaryfest! Pip pads are my favourite!
I’m still so proud of them! I’ve actually started drafting the listings now too! 😂
The washi's are amazing. Will you be selling them if you have any left from plannerfest? I'd love one of the blanket and tea washi, please ❤ I hope Plannerfest goes well xxx
Yes I have plenty leftover, I will be adding to the shop next weekend all being well! Plannerfest was great, but I am truly exhausted now!
Everything is so cute!! See you tomorrow!! Xx
If this shed was mine no doubt it would look the same lol. I’d go to tidy it up and then stand there staring at it for forever wondering where the hell to start, eventually start moving things find something interesting or fun and end up playing with it for the next 3 hours, then go and make a coffee and go bed lol
This is definitely what I do!! I only had my friend over in May to help me sort it and it’s already a mess again 😂 I feel like I need quarterly tours/clean up videos!
I really hope there's some left to be sold in the shop after plannerfest!
Thank you! I hope so but don’t want to be left with too many, that’s a lot of washi 😂
@@messyandbeautifulthey are brilliant designs so expect they will be popular!
Love love love the washi!!! My favorites are the tea and chocolate and the planner one.
Thank you! I designed them both after my favourite things in life 😂
i feel you pain love. I have been advised i need to be assessed for ADHD but since i am 43 and been told it will take around 5 years i just think take it was red and try and deal with it. The burn out is real. i do the same thing you do with my money to try and not over spend cos im very impulsive, overwhelmed, rarely finish anything, i was cutting it very close getting to work on time today as i was watching one of your videos and of course as usual thought i could fit a 25 minute video into 10 minutes etc etc lol. my ducks arent in a row but there is squirrels everywhere so you are in good company with me lol. all the best dont let the muggles get you down x
I love how much this relates to me! I am always rushing around like a blue arsed fly cause I can’t stay in control of my world. Can I use the ducks in a row/squirrels to make a sticker? It really resonates !! 😂 How are you dealing with the adhd? I’m looking for a diagnosis mostly for clarity, it’s a loooooong wait though! Xx
@@messyandbeautiful OMG yes please make a sticker I’d need 12 lol. Of course I’m waiting till payday to place and order with you now I’ve found u. Coping well it’s hard cos without a diagnosis I feel guilty for feeling or saying I have adhd but I guess it is what it is. When the dr said up to 5 years and it was unlikely I would be given any type of meds not that they solve everything, I think I just felt a little bit worse. Sticking with things long term is a struggle so 5 years made me go “ just to find out something every second person tells me …. I cant be arsed with that”. I filled out all the forms and we are 12 months on and every time I remember I need to send them back to the drs another month has gone by 😂. At home interesting but at work it’s a do it now this instant or ull forget kind of scenario and almost try to make it a game with the old how fast can you do this task cost it takes others ages and then u can watch KZread for pretty much the rest of the day ( I work in a vape shop- lovely amount of down time).
I love Kuromi and I brought a blind box from stationary Pal and I love it. I then bought a lot from Temu which was shipped directly from Sanio and was licensed and good prices too
I’ve done a lot from Temu recently, the licensed stuff is mostly shop seconds I think! I have some hauls filmed, maybe after stationeryfest I’ll get a bit more back to normal and actually upload them 😂
Even when you feel like you're in the darkest night ever, the sun will eventually rise, or at least that's how I interpret it.❤
Love the "I've just gone mad on this page" sticker page!
These are my absolute favourite pages to do too!
Yay, you're back. You've been missed 💜
Good to see you back 😊
Yay your back 😊
Welcome back ❤❤❤❤
Omg you’re back! Yay!!
I just stumbled across your videos a week ago and am loving them! My stalogy is arriving tomorrow as well!
Oooo exciting! Hope you’re enjoying getting stuck into it!
Yay! She's back. I've missed you ❤️
Oh bless ya 😘 lovely to see you back, but please don’t put any pressure on yourself xx
Just found you the other day, and have been watching your Stalogy videos! Now I'm so glad to see a new video. Please take care of yourself! ❤
Watched the whole thing through! 😂 And now I feel serious washi and stickers envy! If you ever want to send a Hello kitty tape samler I am up for it. ❤
I have a craft shed too. I could barely walk in so I got rid of stuff for projects I knew I wasn't going to do. I donated the stuff to the local hospice shop who raised nearly £500 & I fell back in love with my shed as I could properly use it. Enjoying this video thank you 😊
How wonderful!! I bet that made you feel amazing too knowing you did something so sweet! I have loads of stuff piled up for the swaps table at the next event. One persons trash is definitely another’s treasure 🥰
Love your planner deco. I color my stalogy pages like you, but I use a flat soft make up brush and it spread out the ink pad very smoothly on the page.😊
Love this idea! Thank you for the tip 🥰
just what i needed…thanks so much for sharing! 😊
Glad it was useful!
Love how colorful your journal is
Thank you! I don’t really do the vintage look well 😂
Thank you for showing how it really is.
Thanks for watching! Hope to get an update on the progress very soon!
Can we see a tour of your shed?
There’s a tour video up, if you check out my Messy Shed series it’s the first video on there! There’ll be an update soon I hope! 🥰
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.
So happy it helped!
I seriously need to see your chicken! 🐓
😂😂 I will share it in a video for you!
Just came across your channel and I quickly subscribed. I adore your accent, being born and raised in NYC your voice is such a lovely change of pace compared to what Im used to. Anyway, loved watching your journal set up, lots of great inspiration ....cant wait to see more👍❤️📚
Thank you so much! Life got the better of me recently but hopefully will be back with updates soon!
Great craft shed! ☀️✂️📘🏴
Thank you! My messy reality 😂😂
You are not alone in feeling this way... when I first got into planning, I went absolutely insane... I filled up a SHED plus my tiny room in my in laws house because I cant afford to be on my own at this moment -- I have finally found, for the most part, what works best for me... so I am also doing a no spend/low spend... and I also have to sell the things I know I won't use, and I can only buy something with those funds. You are not alone in this... most crafters/planners go through this. Thank you for being so honest and open. I can't wait to see what you do with your planner shed! It is my dream to have my own space, and I am working towards that because that is more important than "all the things. "... for my wishlist -- I am doing 30 days before I buy -- I find most of the time I don't even want it after that long. I wish you the best of luck! as someone with ocd, adhd, depression and anxiety -- I FEEL YOU.
This is such a lovely and supportive comment! Thank you so much! I hope your low spend/no spend is going well! I managed 100 days but I have fallen off the wagon a little recently. It’s hard to maintain, I definitely dopamine shop! I hope to get a shed update up soon, as I’ve been working hard at sorting things out and plan to do more this weekend!
You should put your trinkets above your desk where nothing was and use all that shelf space for storage
I love that this is my empty wall, as I like having nothing distracting me whilst I’m crafting 😂 It is about my only wasted space though I admit !
I love your videos, but I think this may be my favourite! Would you mind telling me what you use to hold your phone/camera? I'm returning one that isn't sturdy or versatile enough and I'd love a recommendation for which kind I should get instead.
Thank you so much! I don’t mind at all, it’s this one… amzn.to/3y2hq8R It’s not very sturdy but it does the job!
@@messyandbeautiful Ah! Thanks! I ended up getting an Olivia 2. It's so sturdy! I now need to find out how to set up so that I can watch, on my lappie, what I'm filming! Apparently there's an app...
Ooo not heard of that! I don’t watch what I’m filming and never have, think my brain might fry! It explains why sometimes I’m out of frame though 😂 I’ll have a look at the holder though, thanks for the suggestion 😍 xx
Is the washi maybe thumberlina print?
I remembered, it’s strawberry sticker co!
Haha Sarah you said that skeleton was scary whilst I was thinking I love it. Also I can deal with a moth sticker but not butterflies
Haha I’ll donate my moth stickers to you then! I hate them 😂 Butterflies are pretty on paper. I don’t do bugs in reality 😂😂
i love the idea of a PET tape swap!
I have no idea how I’d make it work though 😂
I'm hosting a tape swap this summer! 🎉❤
@@iHanna I’d love to be apart of it! are you hosting it thru a fb group?
I love the birdcage pet tape. I love the idea of swapping the tape, but I don't have any to swop but I'd be keen to buy some samples xx
I’ll bring you a sample to the May meet, I don’t need anything in return 🥰 xx
It's been 2 months of not buying any notebook's and pens and planners I am waiting until my birthday I am planning To go shopping then I will buy more notebook's and pens and planners 📓📚📖🖋🩷🩵❤️💜💖💗💓💕💞 and I love today's video too 🩷🩵❤️💜💖💗💓💕💕
Sounds like an amazing reward and such a fab birthday present! Enjoy your shopping and well done for not buying for 2 months!! I’m currently resisting buying anything and my list is getting longer and longer ! 😂 Wish the big craft stores like in the US were here 😂 xx
First! Hi Sarah Jane.
Thoroughly enjoyed this set up video and your reading journal is amazing 😊
Thank you!! Gutted I’m missing the meet today - hope you are going and have a lovely time! Xx
@@messyandbeautiful missed you, another one is being planned and hopefully announced soon, hope you can be there 😀❤️
Love your setup!
Thank you! It was so much fun, I think I love setting up planners more than I do anything else 😂😂
@@messyandbeautiful yep setups are definitely the best bit!
Great video, really enjoyed watching. And how have I only just realised you own Scribbles by Starlight, when I had previously purchased your gorgeous advents for both me and my daughter?! 😂
Thank you - and thanks for the advent orders too! I try to keep them mostly separate so I can use other peoples stuff on my channel so it doesn’t matter that you didn’t know 😂 xx
@@messyandbeautiful you totally should promote your shop bits on here, they’re so gorgeous - I only discovered your shop by watching an advent unboxing by Becky, and just HAD to purchase my first ever stationery advents! We both loved them and will definitely buy more of your bits, thank you ❤️
