If you’re a crafty person and need a planner combined with a project planner, then the Scrappy Planner may be the perfect planner for you!
I recorded a video and photos of the planner but accidentally deleted them from my iPhone #epicfail so we’ll just have to make do with the pretty professional photos courtesty of the creator of the planner, Lori Holt (which are 10x better than the photos I took anyway)

Pros of the Scrappy Planner

Some of the adorable coordinating accessories!
Cons of the Scrappy Planner
- Undated (this can be a pro or a con depending on how you plan)
- Dividers are a bit flimsy
- There are notes pages – but not many
- One page weekly planning space with checklists – you could keep track of appointments, birthdays and the like in the notes section of the weekly spread, but if this is something you prefer to see on each day – then this may annoy you
Overall, the Scrappy Planner is a very simple planner with no frills. It is ideal:
- If you’re just starting to use a planner
- List maker
- Are thinking about upgrading from a monthly calendar to a weekly planner and aren’t sure if a weekly planner is right for you
- Only use a planner occasionally, to plan busy weeks
- You’re a crafter and want project planning and quilting reference notes built in (or if you aren’t a quilter you could always rip those pages out of the planner, but undated weekly planner printables would be a more budget friendly alternative)
- If you’re not interested in planning using planner stickers
