August 2018 Happy Planner Spreads

Another month has come and gone, so it’s time to share all of my Happy Planner spreads for the past month. I got a tad lazy this month so some of my spreads look a bit different than they typically do (which I’m totally ok with.) I try not to put too much pressure on myself to have it looking perfect and if it doesn’t get done at all, that’s ok too.

Happy Planner Spreads – August 2018

I love blue and yellow together, and since this was the last month of summer break, I decided to use my summer girls for my monthly spread. It’s been so bright and happy to turn to throughout the month.

This is the first week I filled out my planner before decorating it. I was going to leave it plain, but I ended up deciding to stick a few stickers on there. I used the again for this week.

For this week I was inspired by all the sweets and colorful stickers. I loved the popsicles and ice cream cones and cotton candy!

Whenever I’m feeling uninspired as to how to decorate a spread, I always go with black – and I always LOVE it! I either do black and white, black and gold, or black with another brighter color.

This one was a mix of random stickers from several different books and honestly I don’t remember where they all came from! I know the LOVE sticker and the blue and pink stickers on Saturday came from a (876 piece). The others, I’m not so sure about.

I’ve had this since January and I’ve been hoarding these stickers but I’m not sure why. I LOVE these colors! They are different and hard to match with other stickers from other books, but I had everything I needed from this book. Of all the books I have, I think this one is my favorite. So many cute collections in this one book! I actually bought a new one a few days ago because I’ve used up most of my first one.

Because of the way the weeks fell this month, there were actually 5 weeks of spreads instead of 4. I hope you enjoyed them. I mentioned in my July post that sometimes I swap out my pages for a vertical layout instead. I have 3 more months worth of vertical layouts, so I think I’m going to save them for the last three months of the year. I’ll stick with horizontal for September. By trying both this year I have found that I enjoy using a vertical spread more than the horizontal, which actually surprises me! But hey, you never know you like something until you try it! Next year I will definitely be getting a planner with a vertical layout.

If you use the Happy Planner, which layout do you prefer? What are your favorite colors to decorate your planner with?
