We are so excited to share our latest “#PlannerCRUSH” with you! In this series we share the planning style of someone in our community that we just can’t get enough of. We are talking about saving all the IG posts, scrolling the reels feed and binge watching all the PWMs. Each time, we will feature a clue along with a few planner pics to see if you can recognize our #plannercrush? Here goes:
CLUE: Planning meets the need for structure and creativity all in one…
ANSWER: Carrie @whatwouldcarriecraft
Carrie started her journey through the crafting world with scrapbooking, stamping, card making and memory keeping. But being a teacher, she always had a dedicated planner which also became a space for her creativity. After stumbling upon the planner community through Facebook groups, she began exploring more and fell into the Instagram planner world. She was enamored with the Erin Condren LifePlanner and how people used it to plan their life. In particular, Carrie loved how Sierre (@plannerfriend) used her LifePlanner to focus on different areas of her life. Not knowing that years later, Sierra would create the MakseLife system which changed her life and so many others.
These days, Carrie has found her sweet spot in planning with the MakseLife system. It has helped her achieve goals, weather life struggles and anxiety and provide a community of supportive and inspirational friends. For the past 3+ years, MakseLife has been the tool to help her live a more purposeful life. It is designed to meet you where you are at and guide you along your path. Speaking of goals, Carrie just released her own font on Etsy, which became achievable through the MakseLife system and power appointments.
Currently in her planner stack, she is using the MakseLife Flagship Planner (7x9) in the horizontal format (to record memories and an affirmation each day, one happy moment in the monthly spread and all annual, monthly, and weekly goals and actions) along with Makselife Quarterly Daily Inserts on discs in a Levenger Softfolio. She loves the flexibility of discs and the Daily for everyday appointment scheduling and task lists. Additionally, Carrie uses an Erin Condren notebook for running notes and longer project management task lists that span several weeks/months. Plus she dabbles in a weekly Day Designer Flagship and Archer & Olive Journal (8x8) as a creative reading log.
Her must-have planning essentials include the Pentel Energel 0.5 Needle Point with the Clena or InFree Energel pen body. Black ink only! Plus, a set of Mildliners and stencils from Dear Lily Designs along with stickers from Planner Kate, Krissyanne Designs, Lemon & Honey Studio and JoJo’s Pretty Paper Shop.
