November Project Life Mini Calendars

This post may contain affiliate links. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

Hey planner peeps. Today, I want to get you ready for your November planning with these mini calendars for November.

I thought it would be nice to provide some mini calendars that provided an official fall/thanksgiving vibe for your planners, traveler’s notebooks or project life projects.

What do I love about fall? So, many things but especially all the fall yummy things to eat! As mentioned last month, I have already indulged in a slice of pumpkin pie, a cinnamon roll and some unfiltered apple cider to begin the fall season. Currently, I have also indulged in apple pie, roasted sweet potatoes and I’m hankering for some white chocolate chip and cranberry cookies!

However, I didn’t want to bake them until the weather in So Cal had finally cooled down enough to actually bake without being forced to turn the air conditioner on! We have had really abnormal dry, hot weather in So Cal this year way into the fall season. I know many of my readers are already experiencing cold, almost wintry weather!

The pictures I chose for these mini calendars remind me of fall and everything Thanksgiving!

Save this pin for later…

I’m also organizing some of my “fall” themed planner supplies to get ready for the season.

What activities are your fall favs? Or what are your fav planner supplies to use in this season?

Last month I was excited to share my new Tombow markers in fall colors! I also have the Tombow drawing pens (not shown) and I will be using those for my fall journaling and doodling, but before breaking them out of their handy packages, I thought I would share a pic. I have also since added to my Tombow marker stash with a set of pastel colors.

Doodles Extra

Here’s a few candy doodles, that I created on my Adobe Illustrator app availalble on my phone with my Photoshop subscription. They are a little rough, but I thought I would provide them as a png file to use as accents for your digital planning or to print as stickers that you can color on your own.

Mini Calendar Specs

I am releasing October’s version of these project life mini calendars. These mini calendars have been especially popular on my Instagram feed.

I have this set of Mini Calendars (3″ x 4″) available as a free printable jpeg download for either your project life or other pocket scrapbooking projects.

Hello peeps…we are now in the month of November! So, I wanted to get this monthly layout planner stickers to get you ready for this approaching month’s plan.

Today, I am releasing a fall themed set for this month’s planner stickers monthly layout for the Classic Happy Planner.

In any case, via a reader’s tip, I left off the year and month’s name on this freebie and I have provided another printable with the month and year, so you have an option between both. You can look back over the year to see which months are interchangeable for future months.

Planner Stickers Specs

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the Classic Happy Planner by Mambi or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other weekly planners such as the Plum Paper Planner that have wider boxes for the monthly spread.

The functional planner stickers, especially the box stickers, are sized to fit within the monthly calendar boxes specifically for the monthly spread of the Classic Happy Planner.

However, there are several resizing instructions on Pinterest on what percent to print this printable in order to resize the printable for personal planners with smaller dimensions.

Note ***Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.***

How to Use this “ Monthly Planner Stickers” Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers and I have included a few in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printout is to print it out on a full sheet of white sticker paper and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter, you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software.

2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock depending on how thick you want your sticker and then place adhesive via a snail tape runner or with a Xyron sticker tool or machine.

3) The most labor intensive (or time consuming) way is to print out the planner stickers on sticker paper and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting. Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which will reduce cutting around the stickers. Reader tip: Cut them while watching TV. Woot-Hoo…multi-tasking.

Facts about the freebie:

One set of HP functional planner stickers on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
Color scheme: orange, navy blue, gold, green

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.) If you have been here before, you know the drill. If not, you might want to read the quick TOU below before you access the printable.

Fall Pumpkin A5 Planner Dashboards and Labels

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

Hello peeps! It’s Halloween tomorrow and I wanted to get these watercolor pink pumpkin A5 planner dashboards out to you. These have a fall color theme with the black striped background and fall motifs in an unconventional fall hue (pastel pink) but lovely pumpkin graphics. So, make sure you have plenty of black ink in your printer. Hope you like them.

I’m sorry I had not posted anything lately but being in California, I have had to adjust to our additional lockdown instructions and plan accordingly. Boo. I also had some tech issues with my Photoshop CC subscription (first time ever!) that I finally resolved.

This planner insert is specifically designed for fans of the Carpe Diem Planner by Simple Stories or other A5 planners. Or the pages can be used in the Classic Happy Planner as planner inserts by using the Mambi punch and popping the pages right into your Classic Happy planner.

The size of the planner inserts are 148 mm x 210 mm or 5.83″ by 8.27″, your standard A5 page.

The size for the Personal planner insert is 3.75″ by 6.75″.

The labels are approximately 3″ x 2″ .

How to Use this “ Fall Pumpkin Planner Dashboards” :

There are several ways you can use this printable to cut out these freebies and I have included a few tips in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the to-do lists or planner inserts using their designer software. If you need to convert the pdf file, there are many online converters that will convert the files from pdfs to jpegs.

2) For the planner dashboard, it would be ideal if you printed it on glossy or matte photo paper so that the watercolor , glitter or foil texture will show up clearly. However, simple cardstock will do. If you own a laminator, laminating the dashboard and then hole punching it will improve it’s wear.

3) Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which makes cutting a straight line easier, rather than using scissors.
