Weekly Timesheet planner printable

Hello Peeps! Today, I thought I would release a planner printable that many of you “newbie” and veteran planners might find useful as a “empty my brain and write it down” place for all the tasks you want to list for your upcoming week! Sort of a pre-planning worksheet to a final commitment in your planner. Is that a little extra work?

I would say yes, but sometimes when our mind is muddled with all kind of tasks putting them down on some type of system helps with your weekly planning.

This weekly list is especially for planner fans that have a structured week or specific time appointments and can be helpful if you like to block your time.

I used a pretty script font, color block and a cute vector graphic for the design. I hope you find it functional and a pretty addition to all your weekly planning.

If you want a Week at a Glance type of printable that you can use as more of a catch all or “brain dump” for your weekly tasks, you might like

Product Review – Teresa Collins Mega Runner by Xyron

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

Happy Monday blog followers and visitors …and Happy Memorial Day! Just about the time I started providing my printables on this website, I have often suggested that you use Xyron sticker makers or even their tape runner to stick your planner stickers in your pretty planners. Xyron contacted me and provided this gorgeous Teresa Collins tape runner and I wanted to share my straightforward opinion about this product.

Product Review

Here’s the Teresa Collins Mega Runner pictured with my Classic Happy Planner. I have to say from the outset that in the looks department, I give this tape runner an A+. I’m a fan of Teresa Collins scrapbooking designs and I like the quality she usually associates with her brand. I even own the Teresa Collin’s Fiskars crafting scissors, so I may be biased in that regard.

happy planner & xyron tape runner

Pros

Beautifully designed in fashion colors – the manufacturer also has one in pink
Lightweight and not too bulky. Ergonimically designed. It has a soft handle that feels good to the touch.
Has a latch that protects the tape from getting gummed up by dust and dirt. One of my favorite features, as I don’t like detachable caps because they tend to get lost.
Body opens up to place refill cartridges very easily.
Tape has a dot matrix pattern that goes down smoothly – refill cartridges are available in 1/4″ and 1/2″ tape sizes.

Cons

Pricey, a little on the pricey side; however, you can buy the clear blue mega runner for a few dollars less and still have similar features.
Pricey, refill cartridges. You might prefer economy or budget type tape runners for your crafting needs.
May be too bulky even for small hands.
The tape goes down smoothly but you have to practice the technique so that it will dispense properly.
Not readily available in all stores. So, I would buy the tape runner and my refill cartridges on Amazon or Michael’s with a coupon.

*Update** = Promotion offer has closed.

In summary, considering all the pros of this product, I would definitely add it to my crafting stash. The fact that it is so well designed might outweigh it’s priceyness for many crafters.

After all that info about tape runners, I don’t want to leave you without something for you to decorate your Mini Happy Planner. So, I designed this coordinating black, white and dark gold planner stickers set for today’s Mini Happy Planner printable.

Here’s a sample of this set of planner stickers printed, on letter size, full sheet white heavy paper and printed with my Epson Artisan 810 printer. However, I do use full sheet white sticker label paper by DigiOrange when I want to cut these stickers in my Silhouette Cameo.

How to Use this “Mini Happy 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 (i.e Cricut Explore) you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. I also have redesigned the template so that the margins are within the “registration” area of your silhouette. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile a lot easier.)

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. ( see pic below for today’s featured product)

3) The most tedious (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.

Facts about the freebie:

A set of 95+ planner stickers on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
File size : 2.53MB
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: black, white, gold, dark gold
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.
