I have recently started using the Happy Planner and I love it! It can be a little intimidating when your first starting out to decorate your planner.

If you are like me and just starting out I think the best place to start is with the Happy Planner sticker sets. They fit with your Happy Planner pages and they coordinate so it’s hard to mess it up, right? another easy way to get started is to plan your spread with a monthly theme.

I’ve gathered up a bunch of ideas to use when decorating your monthly spread. You could use this list to decorate just the month at a glance pages or use the same theme throughout the month for all of the weekly pages as well.

It’s your planner and you can make it what you want! Use it to express your own personality and be as creative and elaborate as you want. You can not only use it to keep track of appointments, events, and things you need to do but also record your thoughts and ideas.
