Whistle and Birch Horizontal Weekly Spread (Pastel Theme)

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Rachael

Whistle and Birch are one of my favorite Aussie planner companies! I’ve tried most of the layouts except the horizontal…

After the Pen

I wanted to use highlighter so wrote everything in black – very boring!

Until the highlighters come out…

Not quite enough highlighter, so I ended up highlighting everything except the task boxes. So by the end of the week everything should be highlighted.

I really like the Stabilo Boss highlighters – quality without a hefty price tag. I normally hate anything and everything pastel except these highlighters. The chisel tip is my favorite to use because it’s chisel but with a bit fatter tip than most other brands. I can make it thin and it will stay relatively straight. Which wasn’t the case with the other highlighters I used (the DONG-A Twinliner that have a very sharp chisel tip).

You can see the difference in the photo below. The bottom 2 boxes on the left page. Aqua = Stabilo Boss, the blue / purple color is the DONG-A, the lines are much more crooked.

I ended up leaving the notes section blank and added things as the week went.

The black is normally much more prominent on the checklist stamp but I find that after about one year – 18 months of regular use, the ink dries out.

Would I use this spread again?

Yes. It’s simple but it works. There was sufficient room to write and still add a bit of color via the border.
