Scrapbooking Inspiration Podcast: Perfect Planners

By 7 Comments

cara vincens headshotCara Vincens from the Hooting Pirate joins me for the next episode of the Scrapbooking Inspiration Podcast.

Hi, I’m Cara, I’m a Canucklehead (Nova Scotia) living in Luxembourg with my tall, dark and hot hubby. He’s French and the reason I came here in the first place. Wouldn’t we all do anything for love? ;)Though, it’s not like he had to twist my rubber arm to come to this fairy tale land, we love Luxie! We have 6 children… nope, not a typo! And only one of those is a girl :D As you can imagine, she’s a spitfire.

As far as crafting goes, I’m a mixed media artist and I do a lot of paper crafts but I absolutely love scrapbooking. I love every single moment of the process, from the stories (oh, how I love to tell a good story!) and the photos, to the design, techniques and product (who can resist all those gorgeous products!). I love bright, happy colours, lots of white and lots of white space and lots of layers and clusters!

My first love was sewing, and I can usually incorporate it into my scrapbooks. Sometimes however, my cheating heart strays… it’s usually as Carnaval approaches and all those fabulous costumes are tempting me. I get that itch to sew on fabric (gasp!)… and I cheat on Scrapbooking, but she always takes me back ;)

Listen in as we chat to about our planner evolution and how we use planners to organize our lives.

Cara's Take-Away Tip

We tend to think we can get more done in a day than we really can. Put some breathing room into your schedule. If you think something will take 15 min schedule 30 for yourself. Allow yourself some space to get things done and breathe.

    Another great episode. I had a real “aha” moment when you talked about the planner not working for ME, rather than the other way around. Gave me a totally new perspective, and now I’m ready to dive in and get to work on my own, custom planner. Thanks for all the inspiration!
