A couple years ago I attempted to use this Rae Dunn planner that I was gifted.

I collaged the corners to give it a little bit more of a “me” feel to it. But it just was too big! It took up way too much room no matter where I tried to keep it. Instead of tossing it out, I set it aside.

When I began preparing to host “I’ve got a notion” over at Art Journal Journey, I remembered how much I love creating journal pages in a loose leaf manner. Especially since I often like to sew on my pages.

I decided to add a bit more collage to disguise the year on the front cover. Since the bird looked weird just hanging out by itself I added the nest and butterfly to keep it company.

I glued two planner pages together to give it a bit more strength then glued the journal page down. I am removing some of the planner pages to reduce bulk but I am happy that I am reusing the planner in some fashion.
