Shop Update: 2015 Daily Planner Printable

2014-09-16T16:34:00.000+10:00

It’s here!!! I finally finished my 2015 Daily Planner Printable and I couldn’t be more excited!! It’s now available in my Etsy Shop!

Once purchased, you’ll get an automatic email with the PDF available for instant download! So what’s inside?
You get a beautiful colourful Cover page, and personal information page, then a 2015 and 2016 Year At A Glance spread calendar.

2 page monthly spreads are then followed by pre-dated side by side weekly spreads of 2015 from Jan to Dec. Weekly notes and daily meal planning are included over the 2 colourful weekly pages. There is also a highlighted section at the top of each day for the most important notes first.

This planner is designed in A5 size (210 x 148mm or 5.8″ x 8.3″) and to be printed front and back. You can take it to be professionally printed, but if you prefer not to and have a perfectly good printer at home – just print it yourself – I did! I printed mine out on A4 sheets (297 x 210mm or 8.26″ x 11.69″) and trimmed it by hand. Just make sure the proportions and size of the document stays true to size. You’ll need to feed the printed pages back through the printer to print front and back – but the end result is worth it! Look how pretty it is! I can’t wait to start using it!

But wait, that’s not all! I also included some extra add-on pages – Meeting Notes Pages, Notes Pages, Contacts Pages and Presents Pages (for jotting down present ideas). And the awesome thing about printables is that you can print as many copies as you like! These extra pages can be printed multiple times to build up your planner.

You can snag all of these planner pages as an instant download file! Yay! Right here, right now!

My favourite Planner Binder is kikki.K‘s Leather Personal Planners. They are super cute and constantly come out with some great colours. Mine one is from their Lilac & Gold collection. It comes with dividers for your extra add-on pages so you have them sectioned off. It does comes with it’s own notes pages too! It also has 3 pages of stickers and labels which you can use in your planner! There are pockets to hold pens, stickers, post-it notes and small notebooks. I love it!

I’m thinking of working on some colourful stickers and labels to go with the planner highlighting more special events and reminders as well as more extra add-on pages. If you don’t already know I have a Blog Schedule Planner and a Budget Planner already in my store which can all be used in the one planner.

Got any other suggestions? Please let me know! I hope you get a lot of love from this!

Happy Planning!

Blog Planner and Budget Planner Printables

2014-08-15T11:03:00.000+10:00

I recently added a new item to my store: The Perpetual Daily Planner which will help those who like to be super organized and have day to day tasks, ideas, reminders, meal planning all in the one place.

I had mentioned that I would be creating add-on planners and here are two!

For those that love to blog - a Blog Planner.

Keep track of your blog posts, schedules, ideas and upcoming blog projects. Everything you want to record on the one page! What's the post about? What photos do you want to include? Any links? Don't forget to include your tags to the post and check off whether you share it across your social media. Check off steps from drafting to publishing and even jot down a follow-up idea for the future!

For those that want to keep their finances in order - a Budget Planner.

Keep track of your daily expenses, determine a monthly budget and record a monthly summary, and track all your credit card purchases with this simple Budget Planner. This printable is a great way to record your income, expenses/bills, differences and spendings. Write notes and goals on how you can improve.

These two organizational planners works great in A5 size binders or ring bounded notebooks. They can be used by itself without the whole Daily Planner if that's what you want, or, have everything all in the one binder! You choose! Print these out yourself, shuffle them all in a planner or binder of your choice, and print multiple copies for as long as you wish!

Click these links now to get them: Blog Planner Printable or Budget Planner Printable or Perpetual Daily Planner.

I hope you enjoy.

Perpetual Daily Planner

2014-08-01T20:34:00.000+10:00

I'm so excited to be adding a new item to my store. This is something I've been 'planning' (get it?) and thinking about for a while but haven't had the time to work on it til only recently. Introducing my Perpetual Daily Planner printable which is available in my store now.

I really love my diary/planner. All my important dates, information, ideas and notes are in it. Planning and being organised keeps me motivated and also inspired. I wanted to do a calendar and daily planner for 2014 but since it's already August, it'd be waste. Instead, a perpetual one means that you can start it on any month, day or year!

Starting with a fun, happy and colourful cover page, a personal information page follows. Then your perpetual planner that begins with a monthly page and then 2 page daily spreads. Being a perpetual planner, you can print multiple copies for as many months or even years as you want!

Also in the set I've included some add on pages. These include a Meeting Notes page, Notes page, Important Numbers page, Contacts page, and Presents page. Again, print multiple copes, as many as you like, to fill up your planner.

And I also did these dividers to separate the different sections you'll have. There are 7 dividers, 3 are already labeled - Planner, Meetings & Notes. The other 4 are blank for you to label as you like. Go to my shop now to check it out!

Eeeeee! It's so pretty and bright and colourful! It makes me happy! I'm so excited about this Planner and will be listing other add-ons to this planner later on (I'm thinking a Budget Planner, Exercise Planner, Blogging Planner etc - how exciting is that!)

I'll definitely be doing one for 2015 though with all the dates pre-filled so stay tuned to that.

Hope you enjoy it!

*EDIT* I no longer sell this Perpetual Planner in my store but have instead released my 2015 Daily Planner Printable which is available for purchase in my Mockeri store.

New Baby Shower Games Trio Set

2014-06-27T21:52:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone!!

I know I know... I've been gone WAY too long. But I've actually been smashing out content (including loads of free printables) on my other website Mockeri. If you haven't already made your way over there, please do! But I haven't forgotten about my printable Etsy store. I actually have lots of ideas for it which is all to do with games and organization. I do want to create and design more stuff for the store this year.

Anyway, the baby shower games in my store do really well and I wanted to do a simpler maybe more easy set which includes a baby word jumble, celebrity baby match and a nursery rhyme guessing game. I'll also release the individual games to the store as well. So if you or a friend has a Baby Shower coming up, please check them out!

Any suggestions for further games please let me know!

Do not feel neglected and abandoned because I have plans for you!

Shop Update: Meal and Exercise Planner Set

2013-09-09T17:55:00.000+10:00

Just added this little gem to my store!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. My husband and I have been looking at buying a house and it's seriously a mentally exhausting job! It pretty much takes up most of our Saturdays!

I've also been doing a few posts on Mockeri as well.

In between all that, I've been working on this Meal and Exercise Set for Tinys and Tea. It's got a Monthly Meal Planner, Weekly Diet Planner, Workout Trackers, Profile Updates and more. Go to it now for a more detailed description.

Hope you make good use out of them!

Introducing... Mockeri!

2013-08-25T17:00:00.000+10:00

If you've been following my twitter, you'll know that I've been busying myself for the past few weeks on creating my own personalised website! I've actually been toying with this idea for about a year now and I finally took the plunge! It's called Mockeri.

The reason why I was a bit hesitant at first and it's taken me SO LONG is because I am absolutely clueless about web. But I found that there is a tonne of information online - and google can be your best friend!

Mockeri is more of my own lifestyle blog. I'll be posting things on there about fashion, trends, beauty, everyday life, gifts, things for the home, artwork & more! It's sort of like a inspiration scrapbook.

Don't worry though, I am not going to forget Tinys and Tea. I will continue to have this blog running in association with my Etsy store. It will focus more on digital printable planners and games. One day I will hopefully integrate the two... somehow.

BUT... Mockeri will also have some fun DIY and cute free printables too so please bookmark both sites and keep checking in to keep up to date!

If you haven't already clicked the link above by now - GO TO MY SITE NOW! I actually have this cute free ice cream gift tag printable you can download right now!

Shop Update: Editable Planner Set

2013-07-03T14:18:00.001+10:00

Earlier this week, I added an editable planner set to my store.

If you are unsure how to use editable PDF files, please visit my Editable Princess Invite post.

This set is quite similar to the simple patterned Planner Set in my earlier post, the design is a little different, but the major difference is that this is Editable.

Hope you get some good use out of them!

Drawing Drawing Drawing: Bunny Sketches

2013-07-01T18:32:00.001+10:00

The last pic is actually on my iPad in Sketchbook Pro. My first attempt in this app!

I'm making it my goal to post more of my sketches and what I've been dappling with in my sketchbook. I think it might motivate me to draw more. How about you? What do you do to draw more?

Baby Shower Games

2013-06-24T22:22:00.000+10:00

What is a baby Pigeon?
Name all of Sarah Michelle Gellar's children.
Play a game of baby bingo.
How many blackbirds were baked in a pie?
Name all the children from the Camden family in 7th Heaven.
Figure out this well known children's book title: Emerald yolk with pig meat.

Hey guys!
A very quick post about the printable baby shower games I just added to my store.

The entire set includes: Nursery Rhymes Quiz game, Celebrity Baby Names game, Baby Animals quiz, Baby Bingo, Children Book Titles quiz and TV show families quiz game.

There are also GIRLS, BOYS and GENERIC versions of the set and you can also get any of these baby shower games individually.

Hope you like them and let me know if you used them at your baby shower!

*EDIT - I just added some new Baby Shower Games to my store. You can check the post here and my store here.

P.S. The answers:

A baby pigeon is called a Squab. Sarah Michelle Gellar has 2 children - Rocky and Charlotte. There were four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. Eric and Annie Camden from 7th Heaven had 7 children - Matt, Mary, Lucy, Simon, Ruthie, Sam and David. Emerald yolk with pig meat is Green Eggs and Ham

Behind The Sketch: Monster Love Notecards

2013-06-23T14:03:00.000+10:00

Here are some of the sketches I went through exploring the Monster characters for my Monster Love Notecards I recently illustrated.

I am working on sketching more and really building up each character/drawing I come up with. It's hard to be patient when sketching, especially when you have limited time. But by spending more time on it, forces me to sketch more - which is something I need to do!

The Cyclops

The Witch

The Werewolf

The Vampire

Hope you get some inspiration out of this!

If you've been following this blog and my twitter, you may have noticed that I recently got hitched! Our wedding photographers (PHAO PHOTOGRAPHY) were FANTASTIC! I can not recommend them enough.

FREEBIE! Easter Notecard and Tags

2013-03-17T11:10:00.000+11:00

Guys...

I leave tomorrow to go to Europe for our 6 week Honeymoon!!!! Super duper excited for our trip! We'll be going to Rome, Greek Islands, Venice, Lucerne, Prague, Amsterdam, London, Leeds, Paris and Barcelona. 6 weeks will be the biggest holiday I've ever taken, and even though it's a long time, that's a lot of places to cram in. But I can not wait!

Because I'll be MIA over March and most of April (missing Easter), I decided to do yet another FREEBIE for you guys - A cute Easter notecard and 3 tags. Print them, cut them out, string them around your chocolate eggs - it's that easy.

Here's the link:

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Hope you enjoy them and have a great Easter. Of course I'm bring my iPad and sketchbook with me, so hopefully when I get back I'll have more stuff for you guys to look at!

See you all in 6 weeks!!

Woohoo! New FREEBIE! Monster Love Notecards

2013-03-03T16:36:00.001+11:00

I know I know right... where have I been?

Well in the last year, I have been really busy... nothing too exciting... just... got married. no biggie.

I am totally kidding. It was a really hectic year juggling all that goes into planning a wedding PLUS working fulltime - I literally had no time to spend on my blog (as you can tell).

This year, I wanted to start it off with a bang and get stuck into blogging and designing again, but you know... got something else to plan yet again... just.. my honeymoon. Europe. 6 weeks. (SO EXCITED!)

But I promised myself I'd at least post something on my blog before I go and what better way to start it off than a new freebie! I'm actually in the process of designing a series of Monster Love cards for my store so stay tuned for that!

All you need is a printer, some nice cardstock (white or cream) and bobs your uncle!

Oh right.. the freebie... CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD.

Write a cute message on the back and give it to someone special. Who says Love is just roses, hearts and chocolates? Monsters need love too right?

Hope you enjoy.

XO Mel.

There goes the floating bear. Up he goes with his big red balloon.

P.S Thought I'd let you guys know that I post a lot of my drawings, sketches and illustrations on my Instagram too. If you're interested, follow me @candidmel :)

Artwork: Loved Up Couple

2012-03-05T19:42:00.000+11:00

Hello!

Sorry I've been MIA for like.... a month!? Oh my, I didn't even realise it's been that long. Anywho, I've been working on sketching and improving my digital painting skills. And look what happened?! Okay so it took me sketching, re-sketching, painting, re-painting, and several attempts at making the right brushes, but look see? - This cute little illustration of a boy and a girl in love. (OR maybe the girl is more in love with the boy than the boy is ? - what do you reckon?)

Sunday Picks

2012-01-08T13:37:00.000+11:00

I think these will be the last Sunday picks guys. This year is going to be crazy busy for me and I do still want to concentrate the little spare time I have on creating new drawings. But I might do a few blog posts on sharing a couple of favourite items I spot along the way now and then. Enjoy!

Favourite accessory: Crayon necklace (Made By White)

Favourite card: (Able and Game)

Favourite print: (bespokepress)

Daily Doodles

2012-01-06T18:20:00.000+11:00

I've completed a few more sketches. I didn't think daily doodling would require a lot of work! But when you've got a full time job like mine, it does take a bit of extra effort. Which is why I've decided to only do a couple of sketches a week. Yeah? Two or three? Maybe one? That will become my new challenge. It is more achievable and I'm almost certain I'll be able to do at least ONE sketch a week! Fingers and toes crossed!

Here are the new sketches:

Burn

Holiday

Family

Geisha

Tangled

Thin

Fresh

Let me know which one you like!

Daily Doodles

I hope everyone had a safe and brilliant Christmas and New Years. I've had a couple of weeks off during these festive holidays and I'm already back at work tomorrow (eek!)

I can not believe how quickly the holidays went, I had a million things I wanted to get done and the majority of my time was taken up by doing chores and house renovations.

So I do apologise for these daily doodles being so behind, and they're still not up to date but I thought I'd share what I've done so far. More to come later...
