Love Today Planner - Month View Winter Theme

Decorating January 2018 Monthly Spread

I like to get a head start when decorating my planner, but will not start using my Love Today Planner until I have finished my current Planner. I just could not wait to show you some ideas in decorating it, so thought I'd make a head start on next years layouts :) 
I have kept the decorating basic on this spread with a snowflake/winter theme, bringing in some sparkle with the Year of Cheer DSP and some lovely Washi. Check out the video below to see how I went about this.

Later I will fill it all in, add some stickers and maybe even some more snowflakes to the white spaces. Hope you enjoyed decorating my planner with me.
