A6 PLANNER WALK THROUGH
I’m not really an A6 (or Personal Planner) person. I prefer A5 (or Large Planner) because I write a lot and I really have a thing on ‘spaces’ in all aspect. 
Tumblr media
So why do I have this A6 Abook planner? 
Here’s a little history.
I miss my zipped planner/wallet: Filofax Pennybridge that I destashed last year and when I saw a zip Recollections planner on sale from the local planner group, I got tempted to try it. But the thing is, it’s not really my color (Pink) and the design is too girly for me, but the paper is really thick! It’s my kind of paper. So i still gave it a chance and use it as my Online Content Planner, since this year, I really want to be active online for planner related stuff. 
The OC in me hits, and I don’t want my zip planner to get dirty at the same time I want to use it everyday and not just plan on it every start of the week. I finally decided to sell the zip binder and leave the inserts with me. Of course I want to maintain this Online Content planner so I looked for a cheap binder. 
I came across this Abook brand from Aurora’s Box . At first I wanted to get the black on but it’s out of stock. I told my ‘hoarder-self’ that purple is still a good color and not prone to dirt so I ordered this.
Tumblr media
When I get to see the binder in person, I fell in love with it easily. It’s so compact, and it can lay flat, just perfect when you are writing. The Recollections inserts are quite longer than the regular A6 insert size but still fit the holes of regular A6 binder. 
So for this compact binder, it looks like it has an overhang but actually the inserts are just really of the same height with it (because normally, there’s still space on the top & bottom of an A6 binder when you attached the inserts. This binder is quite smaller than the regular A6 size so it gives you a fake overhang feeling with you lay it flat and take a photo of it). 
I don’t mind it at all. 
Actually, this is the first time that I had a satisfying feeling on an A6 Planner. I’ve had Kikki.k Ocean before and Malden Ochre, all in A6 size and they did not last long with me. 
Okay that was a long history. 
Let’s get started:
So this is how I set up my A6 Planner. It has 3 pockets and a flap when you open it. I put my favorite stickers there: Keena Prints and Little Miss Helper stickers (click for links of their shops) and some random transparent stickers I got as a freebie before. 
I also have a zip lock insert to store more stickers & random card stocks. I don’t know, I just feel like putting stuff there.
Tumblr media
2nd insert is a calendar divider made of pvc. It came with the Abook package but since it’s a 2016 calendar, I decided to repurpose it and stick my favorite breakfast themed sticky notes there. Got these sticky notes from Daiso in Nagoya Japan. 
Tumblr media
3rd insert is another sticker sheet from my old Kikki.k Contrast planner. I don’t really use them, I just want it there because I feel more secured. LOL
Tumblr media
So this is the look of my weekly spread. Inserts are undated so I had to put the dates manually. I use Kelly Purky clear stamps for the ‘To-do List’ check box. I also use the ‘Today’ divider that came with the Abook package even though it’s quite small to serve as ‘divider.’ It’s looks pretty to me so, it’s fine.
I use stickers, and washi tapes to design my spreads although for this planner, it’s mainly a ‘To-do List’ on everything that I need to accomplish online. So I can only do lettering & simple layout from time to time. This insert has pre designs, actually: those floral and aztec prints that you see. 
Tumblr media
Skipping the whole year of inserts because they all look the same (Sorry no photo of the monthly dividers & the monthly spread since I don’t usually use it).
At the back I have a top loading transparent insert ( It also came with the Abook package) where I store my stickers.... again) 
Tumblr media
That round stickers you see on the left are my favorite because the texture is like a washi tape. I got it from Seria in Nagoya and I hate my self from not getting a lot of it. UGH. 
And there you go, up to the last 2 slots at the back, I put stickers and sticky notes.Yes they are my favorite planner accessories (plus washi tapes- they are in my other planners).
There’s an elastic pen slot. I use felt tip pen in writing since I told you, the paper is very thick! There’s no ghosting or bleeding at all!!!. That’s a Sakura Micron 0.4 I got from Hey Kessy shop in UP Town Center.
Tumblr media
Here’s the back photo :)
Tumblr media
This is how thick my planner is :) 
Tumblr media
And this is where I store my planners: on my desktop organizer <3
I hope you had fun reading my novel that was supposed to be my A6 Planner walk through. LOL
Until next time!

TRAVELER’S NOTEBOOK  (passport size set-up)
 I recently got a midori traveler’s notebook (TN) from Tokyu Hands when I went on a vacation in Nagoya, Japan last month. 
At first, I wanted to sell it because aside from the fact that I  have a looooooot of notebooks for 2017 already, I can always make one of this size since I have a TN shop. When I tried to open it, I easily fell in love with the brown texture. I have a regular TN in Camel and it has a totally different feel with this brown one! So yeah. I decided to use it. UGH* This TN serves as my 2017 Goals planner.
[Let’s start!]
Tumblr media
These are just few things I use when I update my journals and planners.
Clear box organizer: this is where I store my favorite stamp, stamp pad, acrylic block, sticky notes and sticker flakes.
Muji frixion pen (upper left): got this from Muji in Nagoya also. I have these in 0.5 & 0.4
Card stocks: these are just freebies from my online purchase. I plan to cut them out & put it on my journal :)
Passport Notebook from Changmai, Thailand  (literally copied the look of a passport) A friend gave me this! I really loved it! I actually brought this during my trip in Nagoya and it served as my itinerary guide, dump notebook & expenses log in one!
Hobonichi Weekly Booklet 2017 (green): this is where I jot down my schedule all through out the day. I usually stick it on the elastic closure of my TN. I just hope it’s smaller so I can also stuck it in my TN and could serve as an additional insert.
Post it: Got this sticky notes from Loft, Sakae Nagoya. I love that it’s slim. It can easily fit on my weekly spreads.
Pilot frixion stamp: That little orange thingy is a bird icon, you can erase it whenever you stamped it on the wrong spread/ space. This one’s from Tokyu Hands Nagoya.
To do List Wood stamp: this is from @craftavenueph. The size is perfect for any size of planner. You can check them out here-https://www.instagram.com/craftavenueph/
Tumblr media
[So there you go! When you open my TN, this is the first thing you’ll see…]
First Insert: 004 Insert from Traveler’s Company
My washi samples! I actually just made them yesterday since I already got my washi rack, I don’t want to remove/ ruin my arrangements from time to time whenever I want to use them (yes the OC me!) so I decided to make time for my washi samples. I have a lot! Others are in my Regular Camel TN. 
In this way also, I’ll be forced to use all designs of my collection and not just my favorites. haha (Yeah we all have our favorites right? even on washi tapes)
Tumblr media
By the way, I got this zip lock/ card insert from Tokyu Hands, Nagoya. I just got one so when an online friend posted that we can make pasa-buys on her japan trip, I asked her to buy another one for me. 
Inside the flap: 2016 Japan Railway System- freebie from Hobonichi Weeks last year & a Panda semi-transparent sticky notes from Daiso, Nagoya (so cute right?)
Tumblr media
Second Insert: Kraft Folder Insert from notedjournalph.com (100php only!)
I made this kraft folder, it’s available on our online journal shop without the washi designs of course, that’s my personal touch already. I don’t have anything to put yet as I’m still waiting for my mambi stickers to arrive.
Tumblr media
Third Insert: another 004 Insert from Traveler’s Company
I sticked a self-adhesive filing pocket from National Bookstore (top team brand) so I can have an additional card slot for my shop’s calling card. Oh and can you see the boarding pass- themed post it? (Goodness! I actually regret not getting a lot of this. I don’t want to use it, actually) I also got it from Tokyu Hands, Nagoya.

Fourth Insert: Weekly Free Printable from http://www.mylifeallinoneplace.com/p/midori-tn-inserts.html
This is where I put my goals everyday all through out the week. All my “should do this” instead of “to do”
For this spread I used clear stamp, washi tapes, brush & felt tip pens.
Tumblr media
Lastly, there goes my clip pen holder. I got the metal clip from a cheap fauxdori in SM department store and attached faux leather scrap for the pen loop. That’s my favorite uni pin 0.4 :)
That’s it! I hope you liked my set up. Hit me a message if you have questions :)
