Packing a Punch with the My Escape Collection
Hello, Friends! If you have been a memory keeper for a while, it is likely that you have accumulated a few paper punches. Paper punches are a great tool for adding texture and interest to...
Setup Sunday with the My Escape Collection
Hello, friends!
The new month is almost here and we are excited to see how you set up your planner for the month. Throughout this next week, we are sharing how our creative team prepped their planners for June using the My Escape Collection.

I love that Cocoa Daisy offers kits that match my planner needs and wants each month! I'm trying out a pocket-size travelers notebook for the first time and the My Escape Planner Kit made this an easy transition.
I used the sticky notes from the My Escape Planner Kitin my front pocket. I also added the embroidery patch from the My Escape Classified: Memory Keeping Kit. The papers from the My Escape Planner Kit and a pocket card from the My Escape Planner Add On Kit made the perfect front dashboard.
I simply cannot have a planner setup without Simon! I will keep this cute card from the My Escape Classified: Planner Kit tucked into a craft folder all month. It's my favorite spot in my planner!
I LOVE that Cocoa Daisy offers so many freebies and I'm taking advantage of the My Escape Free Newsletter Printable (sign up at www.cocoadaisy.com) this month by cutting it down to cover the plain white pages of my notebook. Now my weeks are easy to find since each one starts with a decorative page.
I've found that the notepad from the My Escape Planner Kit fits perfectly in my pocket-size setup! I'm using one each week to play along with the My Escape Cocoa Daisy Challenge and the My Escape Cocoa Daisy Journal prompts.

" Each month I love being able to choose a different coloured planner to match with the theme for Cocoa Daisy. For June, I really loved the soft peachy/pink tones found on some items throughout the kit so decided to go with a peachy-toned A5 planner as well. With my planner being lighter in colour, I love how the bolder colour tones of greens, yellows, terracotta, and navy from the My Escape Collection really stand out even more.
I decided to create a dashboard using a cut file (designed by Paige Evans), which I had on hand for June. I used several of the papers from the My Escape Planner Kit and the My Escape Memory Keeping Papers to back the lettering. Then, I ran it through my laminator and cut it to size to fit my planner. Finally, I used my A5 hole punch to punch for my rings.
I've used a scalloped border punch using white cardstock to add a detailed edge to each of my dividers and dashboards. I love the effect this gives to my side view when all the layers come together.
Because my planner stays on my desk each month and I don't take it out and about, I still love to fill my pockets with lots of accessories and paperclips. I had fun with the My Escape FREE Printable and created a page marker from the stacked books. I can add this to my pockets for colour or use it to mark important pages.
I've already begun prepping pages for June. I've combined many of the various stickers from the My Escape Sticker Kit, My Escape Planner Add On Kit, My Escape Planner Kit as well as some of the rub-ons from the My Escape Planner Kit to add lots of colour to my empty pages. Check out my process video to see how my pages came together.
