Spring is all about new life and with Easter coming soon I wanted to incorporate brights and butterflies into my April monthly planner spread! I used a Making Memories paper pad, Dollar Tree stickers, Recollections washi tape, ribbons from the Daiso store and the Target Dollar spot; and butterfly dies to make this layout.

Along the top of the spread, I cut strips of pink card stock to cover up the pre-printed April 2017 because they were the wrong color. I then used sticker letters from the Dollar Tree for the April 2017. I used a pom pom necklace that I purchased from the Target Dollar Spot to make the pom pom paper clip above. The necklace was $1 and it came with 3 pom poms attached to a ribbon necklace, so I just cut one of them off and hot glued it to a paper clip.

I also made a fan folded butter paper clip for the first time and I love how it turned out! Here is the link for the tutorial that I used: http://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/08/3d-butterfly-tutorial-template-.html. If you would like to see how I made it, click on my video above.

I also used a free planner sticker printable from Snstreasures for the pink list tags and the “to do” banners: http://snstreasures.blogspot.com/2016/06/do-what-you-love.html.
