Hello my darlings and welcome.
In this video I invite you to plan with me for the month of August.
I create a set of printable planner stickers and plan out a magical month.
My ocean life theme for the month is inspired by the sea.
Let’s do some Magical Crafting.
Thank you for joining me as I plan for August and a month of magical crafting
I will leave a link to all of the materials I used in this video in the description below.
I have also included timestamps for each section of creating stickers and filling in my planner
pages, so you can easily navigate to whatever interests you.
In the month of August I decided to design my planner stickers using the ocean as my
inspiration.
I used watercolor paint to create artwork for my planner stickers, and drew and painted
a starfish, a jellyfish, a sea turtle, a large shell and a seahorse.
I provide a set of printable planner stickers to my Patrons each month using the art and
stickers I create for myself and use in my plan with me videos.
I will put a link to this month’s stickers below this video.
Each weekly sheet contains an illustrated starter sticker for the week, strips for each
day of the week, little icon stickers, moon phase stickers, a page header strip, and a
few more blank strips
I scanned my ocean life paintings into photoshop, color corrected them and then added them to
my sticker sheets.
I placed them on top of an ombre blue watercolor background.
I printed out all 7 sheets of stickers for the month.
Here are the final sticker sheets.
If you’d like to download a PDF of these planner stickers, please visit Magical Crafting
on Patreon at the link below the video.
My Patrons can download recipes, book of shadows pages, artwork and more.
All provided as PDF’s.
And I continue to add new, downloadable content as I do more projects on the channel.
Now let's get into my planner pages.
This is a monthly planner I designed.
It is available on Amazon.
It contains 210 pages.
In fact, I have a whole series of Magical Crafting workbooks, planners and grimoires.
I will leave a link to this planner below as well as a link to my entire book series.
I will be publishing a new planner very soon as it looks like I am running out of pages
in this one.
The first page of each month is a full page dotted with space for a header.
This page can be used for any number of planning purposes, from bullet lists, journaling, affirmations
and more.
Each month I try to use my page in a slightly different way to give you some different ideas
on how to use the stickers and the planner.
This month I was not magically inspired, so I decided to use this area to make three lists
to plan out all of my preparation for three house projects that I am planning in the month
of August.
We are getting some exterior stucco repaired, termite tenting which will take the most preparation,
and I want to clean and prep my patio so that I can host some outdoor gatherings with friends
in the coming months.
The right side of the two page spread is where I plan out my monthly Magical Crafting channel
content and make note of the moon phases.
As I do every month.
I create a section with all of the moon phases so I can plan a new moon and a full moon ritual
and so that I can consult the moon phases as needed to plan my magical workings.
Though I don’t let the phase of the moon stop me from practicing my craft as needed.
Knowing the moon phases is also helpful when I’m planning month-long projects.
I also create a small area to note any ritual days I am planning for the month.
My plan with me videos give you a preview peek into what is coming on the Magical Crafting
channel in the upcoming month.
Scheduling all the videos for this channel is the main focus of the monthly overview
page.
I am writing out all of my video ideas for the Month.
As part of my self-care practice I only produce as many videos as I can without stressing
myself out, working an unhealthy number of hours, or pushing myself toward burn-out.
The videos I list out each month in my plan-with-me videos are always an aspirational list.
Sometimes I drop videos off the list if I run out of time to complete them.
I am hoping to reveal a secret project video at the beginning of the month.
So stay tuned for that.
It should arrive on lammas or lughnasadh.
My upcoming Art Witch Wednesday live streams are on the first and third Wednesdays of August.
On Wednesday August 3rd I will be crafting a shrine to the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
And my second art witch Wednesday of the month will be August 17th at 4pm pst I'll paint
a Mabon-inspired watercolor painting that will be the pen pal card that is sent out
in September to my pen pal patrons.
I hope you will join me for these live streams if they sound like something you’d be interested
in.
I will also be doing a collaboration video with the Wild Woodland Witch at the end of
August.
I’ll leave a link to her channel below so you can swing by and check out her content.
We are both going to create videos about mushroom and moss magic
Each month I plan out my Patreon rewards on the monthly overview page.
This month I am planning a printable Mabon greeting card, a book of shadows page for
a spell candle, printable September planner stickers and of course I’ll mail out Pen
Pal cards as well.
The August pen pal card will be ocean themed like my planner pages this month.
Now let’s look inside my weekly pages.
I filled out all of the daily headers with their dates.
This
month I have decided to use my weekly starter stickers to write out three priorities for
the week
I trimmed out the strips and placed them into my weekly spreads.
I place down Monday through Wednesday across the top.
Then Thursday through Sunday in the row below.
However you can set up your days any way you like in this planner
August first is Lammas or Lughnasadh.
I intend to celebrate the holiday on the first and I hope to release my secret project video
that day as well.
I place the new moon and full moon stickers into my planner and note down the days I will
do a full moon and a new moon ritual.
The sticker set includes all of the moon phases, however I am only using the new and full stickers
this month.
I note the days I intend to live stream, and what art witchery or magical craft I am planning
to do .
I write in the potential days I would like to publish my videos during the month, and
add in filming and editing tasks to support that video schedule.
My mushrooms and moss collaboration video is scheduled for the end of the month.
I also note all of the days I plan to upload Patreon rewards and which rewards I am uploading.
This month I am excited that the gem faire is returning to town.
I plan to attend again and film another video.
I got lots of requests for another gem fair vlog-style video after the first one came
out.
I am adding a few stickers to remind me about a coffee meet-up with a friend.
As well as an airport pick up for another friend.
I also note down a special birthday and a trip to the zoo.
I use several different rolls of blue glitter washi tape to finish off the tops and bottoms
of each weekly spread.
Once I have decorated all of my pages, it’s time for the final flip through for the month.
I hope this plan-with-me video provided you with some inspiration for your own planning
endeavors and has given you a sneak peek into the month of August for me and the channel
content.
I will see you all next month.
