Etsy Printable Shop

Hey everyone,

I am so excited about something I learned to do this week!! I had an idea on how to put shapes and colors together in order to make my stickers without being afraid of being accused of stealing designs.

I am way too cheap to buy stickers on Etsy right now. I have a goal to reach before I can start spending crazy on Etsy stickers.

So in the mean time, in my weekly layouts I stick with the stickers I've bought from Brick and Mortar stores or the ones I make.

I've been watching the kawaii sticker hauls online and I always want to buy ALL of them. Well, that wouldn't be a smart choice for our household right now (lol) so sadly I can't.

To make up for that, I made a coffee and donut themed printable kit that I decided to list on Etsy.

(the watermarks will be removed once purchased)


I have lots more planned to make; both free on this blog and in my Etsy shop.

Back to School Free Happy Planner Printable

Hey Everyone,

Okay, maybe I have a problem... Why am I up past 1 a.m (EST) releasing another design I created? I am not sure but I have so many I've created.

The more I research, the more I figure out what would be important for me to create, the more I feel inspired. I asked a Happy Planner group what type of stickers they are looking for and cannot find. The majority resulted in full boxes (my favorite type of sticker if you can't tell) and back to school themed.

So I fooled around in Silhouette Studio and came up with these. Thanks to prettygrafikdesign on Etsy for some images.



When I think of back to school, I think of reminders. I tend to put off the adulting part of the process. To be truthful the only two parts I like are meeting the teacher and organizing the school supplies. The lists get longer each year and I moan and groan the whole way every time.

Anyway... I wanted the back to school reminders to be cute but functional in my planner. Going with the larger deco of the kids will catch my eye each time I looked at my planner. Print as many as you like and hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Floral Layout

Hey everyone! (Again)

I have another layout to share. I worked on this one a couple weeks ago, before I was ready to share it. But sharing is caring, so here it is.

I'd like to have date covers added to my Etsy Printable shop and I may release those designs tomorrow. We shall see...

But in the mean time, I'm curious as to what types of books would you guys like to see reviewed?

I read all kinds of genres; the main two are Romance Fiction (all types EXCEPT Historical) and
Self-Help / Self-Improvement.

If there is anyone that is new to writing and would like an honest review of their book, please let me know at dom.n.ink21@gmail.com .

Well, until tomorrow.

First Layout - Peach Flowers

Hey everyone,

I have been researching a lot of things when it comes to the planner community. I haven't ever made an Etsy purchase before I finally decided to start designing and come out of the shadows as a "Planner Freak".

I have always bought planners when I felt my life was getting hectic. I had never used stickers or washi before the beginning of 2015. I primarily used different colored pens and highlighters to color code things I did. Occasionally, I used post-its of different sizes but that was the extinct of decorating my planners and they always fizzled out.

Since about 2009, when I gave up cable for the first time, I became addicted to YouTube and always found something new to try or get into. Well, in the beginning of 2015, I saw a few Plan With Me videos and I instantly became hooked.

My first decorated planner was a large pink Planahead and after a few weeks I got a Happy Planner. Once I started decorating with all the clearance items I'd accumulated from my couponing shopping sprees (another addiction story for a different day). I quickly ran out of new videos to watch so I came across scrap booking videos and the rest was history...

Which leads me to my present craft craze: My Silhouette Portrait. I now have this burning desire to share what I create. After A LOT of soul searching - and depression - I discovered hidden talents I never knew I had.

I now spend my time creating things. The biggest two loves being writing and creating art in different medias.

When I'm not reading or writing, I'm crafting something. Most of the time it involves painting in a melanin art style or something to do with my Happy Planner.

So without further blabbering, here is a layout named Peach Flowers. I have a few more decorative printables to give in my next blog. So until next time, here is the sheet.

First Post

Hey everyone!

My name is Dom N Ink. (Its a variation of my middle name.) On this blog I will be sharing book reviews and free stickers as I grow both of my businesses. I am a writer and a stationary addict.

I've always wanted to start a blog but I had no idea what exactly to blog about. It seems like it would be an easy choice to make, but I have so many interests and things that I do that I was completely lost.

I recently started making stickers and I wanted to share them with the ladies who plan the same way I do. I started out only using free printables I found on Pinterest. (Follow me there: https://www.pinterest.com/WsRedd21/ )

So to put myself "out there", I'm starting this blog.

Let's see where this goes and hopefully things I share will be of importance to some people.

Thanks for reading. :)
