Required Supplies

Do you have all your supplies? Use this checklist to be sure you're not missing anything you'll need!

1. Hello Forever Planner (any color) With so many planner options out there, it can become tricky to choose that one that fits your needs. I like my Hello Forever Planner cause it gives me the flexibility to be as creative as I want with their blank pages!
2. Glue roller Instead of fixing it, rather stick it so you can shift it around until you are happy with wherever it is!
3. Ruler Love balance on a layout so the ruler (inches and cm for me here!) is an essential handy item!
4. Color pens Zillion of them! or at least a few ;) They become useful to highlight those to-do's or make anything stand out or even the contrary, subtly blend it in with the background! I use in the class the Stabilo point 88 fine 0,4 tip and Staedler triplus fine liner - any color you can imagine! :D
5. Writing tools I used my Waterman Fountain Pen Medium Nib, my black Pilot G-Tech-C4 when I feel picky about the line thickness and I want to write fine fine! and my favourite 3 black Uni Pin fine liners: 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm for faux lettering, doodling and also writing! My last but not least for this class, my always black Pilot V5 Hi-Tecpoint 0.5 mm for casual writing! yay
6. Stencils Perfect solution when your stamps are not entirely what you want to show! I use in the class the alphabet stencils, the cheap ones you can find in any stationery shop for kids to use at school! It really gives the layout a cute touch!
7. Cutting tools Scissors (any kind) and/or guillotine if you prefer precision cut outs as the stripes I purposely made for the last lesson's layout!
8. Washi tape This is a must in almost any single thing I make! hahaha It gives to any layout that color texture without adding volume!
9. Stickers Any kind, any shape, any color! You can find stickers in the market of almost everything. I particularly enjoy as a go-to in almost every layout my alpha stickers. Very handy to indicate the month/day! The other ones keep contributing to the decorating process!
10. Thickers Although the layout should not have too much volume as it will affect the writing on the next page, I love adding them from time to time to highlight items!
11. Scraps of paper I used pattern paper, newspaper, old book pages, diy tea dyed paper. You may use anything your imagination can get to though!
12. Embelishments I love using ephemera as it gives tons of personality to the layout. Phrases also help the layout's theme!
