My instagram feed has been flooded with some really beautiful Erin Condren spreads recently, and while I haven’t planned in an Erin Condren in over two years, I still think they are so beautiful and amazing to look at. I’ve wanted to do this post for a while, but what I was unprepared for was the wave of emotions as I re-read and took photos of my spreads.
As I took my planners off the shelves and started to flip through them, it really took me to a reflective state of mind. Nostalgia washed over me in waves as I contemplated where I was four years ago and who I used to be. I saw the sweet moments of experiences with my boyfriend, who become my fiance, my husband, and the father of our beautiful daughter. I flipped through pages of wedding planning, engagement photos, and vendor deposits. I saw my sister’s 21st birthday dinner – she’s married now to an incredible person. I saw funerals, parties and get togethers. I remembered snow-ma-geddon, when my then fiance and I had to dig our cars out of 3 feet of snow, and thought about how our neighborhood rallied together. I looked through family time, outings, and game nights. My life was so different four years ago, but it is still very much the same – surrounded with family, friends, love and joy – and that is truly beautiful.
Today, I’ll be sharing my favorite 10 spreads in my Erin Condren Horizontal and Vertical planners. I hope you enjoy!
#10 – Teal and Summery
I don’t know what it is about this spread, but it just makes me think of summer! Maybe it’s the teal with the neutral? I don’t know – either way it makes me want to take a dip in a nice cool pool with a margarita.
#9 – Cozy Christmas
I mean, who doesn’t love a festive Christmas spread? I love the neutral toned down palette. I also especially loved reading through the events – it gives me such tidings of comfort and joy to see my family’s traditions, and I love that we do the same things every year together.
#8 – Purple and Black
Purple and black is so my jam. I remember getting the diamond washi tape and being so excited to use it.
#7 – Pink, Black, and Grey Neutral
Pink, black, and grey is so classic. I love the Chanel bag (…my dream bag!) and the neutral tones of this spread. The paper clips are also some of my favorites!
#6 – Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, part 2! Another festive spread – I love the red and gold, and the ugly Christmas sweater is so fun! The woodland animals with hats are just adorable, making his one of my favorites.
#5 – Purple and Pink Floral
For me, this set up is so punchy. I don’t know why – the punches of the coral and purple underlined with the black accents make me so happy. I love crisp black lines and so this one is a top favorite for me.
#4 – Moody Neutral Marble
I am OBSESSED with the colors in this. I love marble patterns, and the colors here are just stunning. The Kraft sticky note was such a fun find at the Target dollar spot – one of my [former] shopping weaknesses.
#3 – Teal and Pink
Another bright, cheerful color palette -the teal dress in the middle is one of my favorites, coupled with the gold diamond washi.
#2 – Valentines Week
I must have been going through a pink phase four years ago, because every other spread is pink! One thing I really loved about this spread was the gold – I used sparkly glitter washi squares and cut them down to size, and they make me so happy.
#1 – Wedding Week
For obvious reasons, our wedding week is the winner of my favorite spread. Such a joyful and happy time in my life, where I would be forever changed. I love the wedding countdown stickers, I love the honeymoon countdown stickers for our vacation to Disneyland – there is so much joy in this post!
So there you have it! My top 10 favorite Erin Condren spreads – this was so much fun to do, I think I may do it with some of my Traveler’s Notebook spreads as well.
Happy Planning, everyone!
