A few weeks ago I launched a new collection in my etsy store, Rainbow Doodles. Just fun and simple shapes, colourful with simple doodles on top. Great for art journaling, and creating layers and clusters in your creative projects.
Now that many of us are in isolation or lockdown, I wanted to share something to help in a tiny way. So here you can download two free printable sheets of this collection to use at home in your own projects. Staying busy and staying creative is important at the moment.
These pictures were made with the stickers and die cuts available in my shop, but gives you some idea of how you can use these in projects.
Just a couple of things before you download:
These free printable downloads are solely intended for personal use. They are not to be reproduced in any way to be distributed or sold.
These designs are purely my own creation, and are not to be reproduced.
If you use these in your projects, then I’d love to see, so please tag me on social media if you share. All my social media links are at the top of the page.
I’ve finally completed my first planner set up of the year, hooray! I’m sure a lot of you came here after watching the video, but just in case, here’s the my YouTube video sharing this set up:
Before I set this one up, however, I had worked hard on another set up, which was for my eldest sister. She requested a planner all set up like one of mine for Christmas, and I was more that happy to oblige.
One of the things she wanted in her planner were some daily inserts like she’d seen in one of my A5 planners, but I didn’t have/couldn’t find any that were quite right, so I made some!
And I liked them so much, I edited them slightly, and put them in my planner too (it’s shown in the video but for my own planner I changed the ‘to call/email’ section to ‘priorities’). Then I thought, why not share the love? So I’m sharing these inserts with you too as free printables.
before downloading these free printables, please read the information and terms and conditions at the bottom of this post.
As with all my personal size planner printables they are designed to print double sided onto A4 paper, and there are faint grey lines to show you where to cut them down to size. To print double sided select ‘flip on the short side’ in your printer settings. I also recommend setting your print quality to ‘high’. To download, simply click on the files below.
I hope you like them! Feel free to contact me (there’s a contact section at the top of the page) if you have any questions or any problems with downloading or printing. I will do my best to help but do not promise to be able to solve all problems!

Woop Woop! I’m back again with new Christmas printables for this year. These were really popular last year and I was so chuffed that you all liked them.
So I have redesigned them for 2018, and created some new ones too! Please read the information/disclaimers/terms at the bottom of this blog post before downloading any of the files.
I’ve also created new clip art/doodles for them too (these are all my original artwork).
As for the decoration in my 2018 Christmas planner, I’ve used Dovecraft Festive Wonder. If you’re interested in that, and seeing some more of the inserts and how I plan to use them you can watch the accompanying YouTube video here:
Ok then, onto the inserts! I recommend using at least 100gsm paper to print these onto. They are designed to print double sided onto A4 paper (if you are in the USA then I *think* they’ll work on Letter size but I don’t have any to test). To print double sided select ‘flip on the short side’ in your printer settings. I also recommend setting your print quality to ‘high’.
There are faint grey lines around the inserts to show you where to trim/cut them.
Just like last year, we start with some calendar pages:
These are for November and December. Click here to download:
Next we have the ‘Busy Day’ pages. These were really popular last year so I’ve kept them very similar, just changed up some colours and the font, and of course added the new artwork!
I also recommend downloading this file which is the Busy Day ‘end pages’ (other wise your inserts will start on the timed page and end on the first page!).
Then is the all-important Christmas card pages – I always lose track of how many cards I need to send and who to send them to, so these inserts are an absolute must for me. The picture shows the inserts designed for those who make their cards, but you can also download one that is designed for those who buy their cards.
Now onto the gift/present trackers – the MOST important inserts for me. I always get carried away at Christmas and keep buying more and more presents for people – and forget about others (oops!). So these inserts help keep me in check.
First is the online orders tracker (because I do at least 70% of my Christmas shopping online!).
Then the all-important gift trackers, these are available with different currency symbols for your totals (I’ve done Pound Sterling, Dollars, and Euros, I’m sorry if that doesn’t cover your currency but I can’t make them for every single one in the world!)
(I’m aware the left side insert in this picture has an awkward font issue with the word ‘delivered’ going over two lines, I’ve since fixed that for the printables!)
And lastly for the gift section is an at-a-glance gift tracker. I love my gift tracker inserts but when you just need to look quickly to see what needs to be done they can be a bit of a faff to search through, so I created this one as an extra:
The last section is the food section (what’s more important at Christmas than food?! Ok, family and friendship and spending time together and whatnot… but also FOOD!).
First are the recipe pages. Just like with my note pages I like these to be blank so I can write wherever on them, but again, you can always print them on lined or grid paper if that’s what you prefer.
And for the very last insert for this year, the all important Shopping List. I’ve put mine in my ‘food’ section as that’s mainly what I’ll use them for, but of course they can be used for any Christmas-related shopping.
And there we go! Phew! I really hope you like this year’s inserts, and if you do download them I’d absolutely love to see what you do with them, so feel free to tag me on social media, or even email me pictures!
I also have a giveaway running on my YouTube channel until the 10th November to win some of my Christmas clip art in sticker and die cut form:
So head to the video linked at the top of this blog post to enter (please remember to read the giveaway rules in the description box!).
Now, unfortunately, is time for the boring part; but it is a necessity when offering things like free printables, so please give this a read:
These free printable downloads are solely intended for personal use, and are not to be copied, redistributed, or sold in any way.
The images in the inserts are all my own artwork, so please do not copy, or distribute them. Additionally do not remove them from the original files. Changing the inserts to suit your size planner is fine but using the images for any other purpose is not.
I take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your computer, tablet, printer, printer paper, scissors, paper trimmer, any other object, item, or living creature, or life in general, after downloading and printing these inserts.
If you do use the inserts and share them on any form of social media, please either tag me or link back to this blog. Even if you resize them, they are still my original work. Plus I’d love to see what you do with them!
Well… at least they’re MUCH shorter than Apple’s terms and conditions! If you have any problems with printing these, or any questions then feel free to email me (there’s a contact form linked towards the top of the page), and I will do my very best to help; but please keep in mind I am not a technological expert!
Thanks so much for reading, and best of luck in your Christmas Planning!
Ok, it’s November, we can officially talk about Christmas now.
Whether you’re excited for Christmas or not, you have to admit, there is a lot of stuff to get done for the season. Gifts, cards, food, decoration, events, etc.,
So a Christmas planner is a fairly important tool, and after designing all my inserts and setting it up, I decided I would share the inserts in case they would be useful for anyone else.
If you haven’t seen it and you are interested, you can watch my Christmas planner set up video here. You can see the Christmas inserts in more depth and I explain why I made them that way.
So, onto the printables! They are all PDF files, if you have any trouble with that, pop me an email and I might be able to send you another format.
As I said in the video, they are all made for a personal size planner, but if you have the technical know-how, I’m quite happy for you to resize them if you use a different planner. Just please don’t ask me to do this for you!
They’re made to print onto A4 paper, so once printed you need to do a little bit of cutting/trimming. There are very faint grey lines around the inserts themselves so you know where to cut. To print them double sided, you need to choose the ‘flip on the short edge’ setting. It should be pretty obvious which edge of each insert is the one to punch holes into, but if in doubt, refer to the pictures I’ve provided.
If you have any problems with printing, feel free to email me, but I am by no means an technical expert, so I may not be able to help!
Right, let’s get to it!
November and December Calendar Pages:
This is a three page document, the first two pages should be the ones printed double sided. The first page of November and last of December will be single sided.
For the days in December when you just have a LOT to do! There are two files for this one, one is for double sided, and one is a single page for the ‘end’ inserts, so that they don’t start and end on the wrong sides!
There’s two options here, one (pictured) is for those who make their own cards, the other is for those who prefer to buy their own (it says ‘written’ in place of ‘made’). The first PDF is the ‘made’ inserts, the second is the ‘written’ ones.
Possibly the most important insert! Especially when it comes to wrapping time and you’ve got a huge pile of gifts and are thinking to yourself ‘which of these is for which person?!’ And to keep an eye on how much you’re spending!
Also, in case it’s not clear, the person’s name goes on the red line!
For those that haven’t watched the video, all my other Christmas planning related things this year, budgeting, shopping, that kind of thing, are all being done on notepaper. My set up last year had all that kind of thing but I found it a little rigid and didn’t end up using it properly. I’m the type of person that just likes to spill ink all over a blank page.
Just a couple of boring things to finish (a.k.a..=, covering my backside)…

Ok that’s enough serious stuff. Sorry about that, you know how it is these days!
Thanks so much for reading. Again, any issues you have with downloading or printing please feel free to email me, and I’ll do my best to help.
I promised you guys free printables on this blog and here is the first! – a simple sticker kit for your planner (or journal or scrapbook or whatever).
There is both a main kit with full boxes, half boxes, quarter boxes, etc.
And a sheet of washi strips:
The photos in this kit are my own – so there’s no issues with copyright. The only thing I ask is if you use the stickers and share on your blog, instagram, YouTube, whatever, then you link back to me either with my web address or by tagging me on instagram 🙂 Plus I’d love to see how you use it!
The files you need are at the bottom of this post. There are cut files for silhouette users, and then pdf or jpeg files for non-silhouette peoples. I’ve made all the shapes really simple for those who don’t have a silhouette so they’re easy to cut. So just print out onto sticker paper and cut away! – and remember if you don’t have sticker paper to print on then it’s not too much more work to print on normal paper and then use glue!
note – I realise not everyone’s printers get along so well with photo files, I plan to have some printables in the future with my artwork which will be easier to print, so look out for those!
If you’d like to see how I used my kit then you can watch the Plan With me Here:
(for the jpegs right click on and then save the pictures above)
If you have any trouble with the files please feel free to email me – but please remember I am by no means a technical expert so I may not be able to answer everything.
