This is a power box! It includes planner stickers so you can stay organised, breakfast food stickers to help you make decisions and toast washi tape in case you need ideas.
This month's clip is one of our all time favourite silver wire clips and we've brought back the 'Easy Memories' insert, this time in a Kraft cover, so you can document all your breakfasts and brunches!
Order your box here or on our Etsy Store.
Side note: The pencils are from a collaboration between uni Kuru Toga and LOFT. [/caption] Love the look of color pencils but really like the erasability of normal pencils? Or better yet, mechanical pencils you never need to sharpen? Well its time to add some color to your life as Japanese stationery brand uni has put out a series of colored pencil leads!
The colors are vibrant and identical to color pencils but they possess the same qualities as a normal pencil. Erasable and fine enough to write with. [0.5mm pencil lead!]
I personally love drawing with these [blue is a common draft color used by many who draw comics] but they are also perfect to add that pop of color in your journals. And if you make a mistake? Just erase it!
Have you tried these out? Are you interested in seeing them in our store?

When I was researching places to shop in Hong Kong, I came across Journalize.
Started by a young stationery lover, the store stocks fountain pens, travelers notebooks and a host of other stationery items. It is a bit out of the way but if you're sick of the big chain stores and would like to look at a personally curated selection of products for the stationery lover, it will definitely be worth the trip!
Also, the little stamp corner is super fun and the interior is cosy so definitely worth a look if you're in Hong Kong.
If you are like me, you probably have a lot of washi tape. I'm not going to say too much because there is no such thing *laugh* But if you are feeling a little guilty about your collection, here is a new way to start using them!
Make photo corners from them!
What you'll need:
Tip: Start off with around 10cm worth of tape [Or 4inches for you non metric folks ^^]
And that's it! The back of it is already sticky so its ready for use in your scrapbooks, journals and wherever you can think of!
Naturally its perfect in your TN layout too!
The Masking Tape + Stickers used in this layout is from our March subscription box! See here! [or our etsy store here]
If you try this tutorial out, do share the results with us!

Cherry Blossom season is the prettiest season. We're brought the beauty and romance of them to our March box. With shades of pink and blue, you'll be excited to watch the flowers fall.
This box comes with our usual set of stickers and an insert, 2 rolls, yes 2 rolls of washi tape and 2 Sakura shaped paper clips.
This box ships on the 15th of February. Pre order your box here or in our etsy store.
If you are like me, you must love the glue tape invention. Its a lot easier to use, less mess and quick to dry. Even better for scrapbookers, most of them are acid free as well.
The only issue i have with them? I'm left handed and the kind where you roll across the page makes it difficult for me to use. Thankfully many brands have started making the ones you stamp down on. Perfect for left or right handers. (I mean you can use your forehead to push on it if you are so inclined. #justsaying )
I purchased two of them from my local stationary store.
As you can see above, you stamp them down to get a dot grid of sticky tape.
Size comparison above with other similar products available in Japan. This is the smallest by far. Good for traveling with.
Some general details. 3 of the colors are limited edition colors as well.
Which is your favourite glue tape?

I was stumped for awhile when I was deciding what diary to buy for 2017. It's such a big decision and I had already bought a different book but I came across this square format diary by Hightide at an art supplies store and I was quite drawn to it.
First things first, the layflat notebook paper is really nice and it comes with a plastic cover (always a good thing for a diary). It measures roughly 11cm by 12cm and weighs roughly 140g, which makes it very pocket/handbag friendly. Also included are 2 string bookmarks, a pen loop (fits the midori brass pen perfectly), a page marker and pockets in the front and back covers.
The diary has a monthly layout, followed by weekly on 2 pages in a vertical format and at the back there are note/address pages.
I'm not fond of the vertical layout usually but this one works. Instead of going by specific times, the layout is done up as morning/afternoon/evening which is good because I don't always have something going on and I like to fill in my own time. There's also lines at the bottom of each day for extra notes and the Saturday and Sunday columns are the same size as the weekday columns which makes sense as there's sometimes more to do on weekends.
I adore everything about this diary, the size, the portability, the paper. The only downside is that it's such a unique size that I have cut things like stickers and notepaper down to fit it in but that's a price I'm willing to pay.
2017 is upon us!
This month's printable is heavily inspired by the Ema (絵馬). These are small plaques sold at many shrines in Japan where one can write their wishes on. We hope each new day of the new year brings you good tidings and may all your wishes come true!
