    After a lot of consideration, I decided to turn back on the Downloads page of my blog so as to share the different printable pages I have offered before for different types of planner pages. A while back, I have disabled any downloads because my design has been plagiarized and been sold for profit! So once again, all these files are FREE FOR PERSONAL USE only. DO NOT RESELL OR PROVIDE DOWNLOADS WITHOUT MY CONSENT. THANK YOU.

    Printables | Weekly Autumn

    October 27, 2017 / 7 Comments

    Thank you to all those who have downloaded my planner pages in the past. It has certainly been a while since I last made some weekly printable for the planners. Finally, here is a new version of an old design; new Autumn-inspired colour scheme. With this version, I took out the meal planning section to give more flexibility. Hope you like this one. I would love to see how you use these pages in your planners. Use the hashtag #arlynaplannerpages and tag me (@abshanghai) on Instagram.

    Watercolour Explorations #76 to #100

    August 2, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Here’s the fourth, and final, installment of my #the100dayproject. Was a bit late in finishing especially with the unplanned and planned trips during the 100 days. But it feels great that I finished though I am planning on continuing these watercolor exercises. It’s been part of my outlet and have truly enjoyed exploring the different styles and techniques. Thank you for looking.

    Typically I would have my Project Life all planned out for the following year by December of previous year. This year was rather different as I wasn’t sure which format to do. After so much deliberation, I decided to stick with the 9×12 size instead of changing to 6×8. With that decision, I finally got my 2016 all finished a couple days ago. Yipee! I went directly to starting/catching up on the 2017 spreads before I get sidetracked again.  And now to share with you my 2017 pages. This year’s title page is easier to put together because I actually did a series of shots of everyone in the household.…

    Hello 2017! Can’t believe December was gone in a blur. So many projects that I want to share but haven’t gotten to taking photos of them. Amyways, I thought I’d share a little free printable for you, one that I plan to use in my Project Life albums and in my planners. Just simple brush scripts to say hello to 2017 and goodbye to 2016. Download from here. Thank you for looking. SaveSave

And this time, there are 3 sizes to choose from – A5, Personal and the TN Regular size which comes in 2 layout option to choose from.    I love this TN size one and wish I was using this for my planning 🙂 Anyways, I made 2 of this insert which I will be giving away in a couple days. So stay tuned! The file is ready to print. Just simply download and print on regular printer paper using double-sided with the duplex set to flip on the short edge (CAUTION: if you get this setting wrong, half your…

    Finally, I’ve finished the new set of weekly title cards (4×6) which you can use on your Project Life album or other scrapbook project. UPDATE: I also now made a 3×4 size because I am changing my PL size for 2016 + NEW SET of cards that starts on Monday. These are still formatted to print on a 4×6 cardstock so you can print 2 in a sheet, you just need to cut the printed card in half. This year is my 6th year of doing Project Life. I have come to a point where I am re-thinking about the size of the album. I am thinking of going to a…

    Printables | December Journal Cards

    December 2, 2015 / 3 Comments

    These are my very first journal card printable for your to download. I was designing our company’s Christmas card and I had some extra hand drawn elements so I thought I’d use these to design journal cards I can use in my Project Life December spreads. I printed these on white cardstock with silver specks so there is a bit of a speckle effect on these photos. I would love to see how you use these journal cards in your projects. Use the hashtag #arlyna and tag me (@abshanghai) on Instagram. DOWNLOAD THE PDF HERE  (*DOWNLOADS ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.)   Enjoy.

    It has been a while since I made a new weekly printable for the planners. So here is a new design. This one is based on the Spring version released a few months ago, which can be downloaded from the Downloads section, too. I kept the watercolour look on the header and kept everything else simple. The days of the week are big but will be subtle once you stamp dates or add embellishments on top. I used the Studio L2E Brush Date stamps to indicate the dates on the page. I would love to see how you use these pages in your planners. Use the hashtag #arlynaplannerpages and tag…
