I see the need for a dating sticker book, complete with jerk stickers! 😂😂 This video is perfection. I love undu and use it on cards, too. OMG the sticker search is an answer to my wishes!! I’ve often wondered why HP didn’t catalog stickers! Thank you for all of this info!!
I agree about not covering up canceled or rescheduled appointments. You never know when you may need that info. (Love the sticker graveyard! What a great idea! Thank you!).
Thanks for all the helpful tips. Especially the one about making use of the unused white paper surrounding stickers. Great idea! I never would have thought of that one.
My newest hobby is taking off the sticker backing (the last tip) once I saw you do it in a previous video. A lot of my books have puckered backing, perhaps from the way they are stored at retail shops before being put out. It's so satisfying to get the backing off though it takes some finesse with the tiniest stickers. I make it work though by pressing the stickers and peeling the backing almost horizontal to the page. So easy putting stickers back on a page or even consolidating pages that have only a few stickers left. The best tip I've received so far though I use many others you have shared! Thanks.
You talking about Undo reminds me of the ski slope spread and how you stayed committed to it by starting over. It turned out so pretty. Great video suggestion from the Patreon folks.
Love Undu! Use it all the time for both Planners and Scrapbooks! In a past video you were talking about whether it migrates to the other side. Not usually unless you use tons at one time and really saturate the page. It also depends on the weight of the paper. And some colored paper will bleed if the dye is not color fast.
Thank you very much for this video is very informative.💖💖💖 Like the tip of sticker grave yard. After a Year of planning I make a book of the backing of the stickers. And I use that one to put all stickers that I pull out and didn't use for a spread.💖🤗💖
I'm 3:50 into your video and just had to comment on Frixion pens. LOL I Love Frixion pens! but I do not use them in my planner for fear of exactly what you said -- that I'll lose what I've written if ever exposed to heat. However, I have heard that you can "revive" what you've written by getting the ink/pages cold again. it will also revive whatever you erased as well...I'm just not willing to take the chance. So, here I am, getting lessons from you :)
Great video! I use a Frixion Ball Slim in my Filofax Malden which is the planner I use for appointments and plans (ha ha), but then just a Sharpie Pen in my Happy Planner and my Simple Stories A5 planners which I use for budgeting purposes.
“You’re dating a lot!” and all your other comments cracked me up! My favorite was “You just can’t keep these men straight.” 😂 You’ve got quite the social life! You always have such great ideas. Thanks for sharing them. 👍🌻
Frixion has been my go to pen for years, gives me the cleanest looking hand writing. Mine is blue ink and it's opaque enough for me. Never had an issue with fading either. Your writing looks very nice with this pen. Can I ask what brand that is?
I do love Frixion pens and use them when I do non-sparkly pens a lot. The markers are kinda light, but the pens are ok. They don't go over white out well though.
Broken leg? No problem! Put a sticker on that sh!t! Lol! This is absolutely, hands down, one of the best planner videos I've seen! I have laughed so hard at this! The men and the cancelled dates tho were the best and funniest part! I subscribed to your channel because of this video!!! Love it! Keep up the great work!
This video made me giggle - all those chaps how exhausting :P but seriously great tips, I am at the point where I don't have to time to fixate iver it being perfect, I sometimes acidently write in the wrong day and I either plonk a box on it or whiteout
Love this video! Very helpful. I remember the days of dating dudes in different area codes. Fun! I use frixion pens because I’m scared of messing up. Yes the ink can come off and they don’t write as dark. The price of security. Undu is great but it stinks!
Hi, re: Frixxion pens. I have been told by a few different people that if you lose writing due to pages being in a hot car or whatever, you can restore the writing from the frixxion pens by putting the page or whole planner into the freezer. The cold reactivates the ink. It isn’t lost forever.
Mary Ellen .... a great video .... great information about correcting (my frequent) mistakes. I really appreciate your mentioning stickersearch.com ... what a frustration saver! Thank you!
I use Frixion pens, both their black and blue gel pens, their fine liners (which I’d compare to the Papermare Flare), and their highlighters. I do really love the gel pens, but they are much lighter in pigment than a regular gel pen, and sometimes when you erase it, it leaves a faint yellow impression of the word. I use them mostly for note taking and journaling, and find them most useful for that purpose. I use the fine liners for color coding my planner. They’re a little harder to erase, I’ve found, but they’re not the work felt tip pens I’ve ever used. The black fine liner, though, is straight up grey, and overall, the colors are a little on the light side. The light green is nearly impossible to read. And the highlighters come off a little chalky. You can see the pigment on top of the word. I use the pastel ones, though, so the chalky yellow pimentation on top of a black word may not be a problem in a neon hightlighter set.
Watching the video right now. Thank you for all the tips but I feel that the overall message is “if anything goes wrong in the universe, put a sticker over it”. 😂
Thank you SO much, Mary Ellen!!! I have dealt with every single one of these issues and I love your ideas. UnDo used to scare me too, but now it's definitely one of the best tools in my arsenal. I just recently had a sticker that popped up on a spread and never even thought to use my glue pen. LOL Mine is REALLY sticky even after it dries so if it leaks out from behind the sticker, it creates a big mess with the other page sticking to it. Not ideal! LOL I really need to just trash it and get a different one. I've seen you use the Zig in our videos, thanks for sharing that. Does it have a felt tip?
I use Frixion pens all the time, they're not as dark as you said but I've never had an issue with fading. In the beginning I was a little worried about that. But as my planner is always on a desk where ever I am...never had the issue.
I used the Frixion pens when I first started planning because I was so scared of messing up. I have the whole line of them, I think. Pens, Markers and Highlighters. You're right, then don't write as dark as say, a TUL or Pentel. I know about the fading if exposed to heat but my planner lives on my desk all the time so I wasn't worried about it. A year later, after my confidence grew and I got to the point where my handwriting improved, now I swear by my TUL's, Tombows and Papermate Flairs. If I mess up, no big deal. I write "oops" a lot and just go on with my week. :) I really really need to get some Un-Du though. I can do that now since Joe canceled on me, the jerk! 🤣
Hahahaha! This has been my favorite video of yours. Good advice, but all the “what a jerk! Can’t keep these men straight! I’ve been waiting 6 months to work it” had me cracking up.
When I used to use fountain pens on my planner pages I would “erase” mistakes by cutting out a small piece of paper from a sheet of paper that’s the same paper as my planner pages, and paste it over the mistake.
I used the backing of the sticker sheets instead of label paper for the first couple years of planning before investing in avery label paper. One additional tip i sometimes use because i have issues with my hands and sometimes I just screw up writing is turning it into a different font. Screwed up on the left side add a heavy downstroke, weird loopy thing, make a script font, sometimes you can just make it bolder or blockier. I have hid lots of mistakes in penmanship by just tweeking the style of writing.
Can you let me know how we can cover the side where the rings go when the planner has a color that just doesn't go with your spread? I tried with white out and it looks ugly with many white lines. Also can you do a spread with a mini classic with classic stickers? Plzz and thank you love your videos
"I know not everyone has multiple planners"... me looking away like I dont have 4 planners unfinished from prior years cause i bought a new one mid year🤣🤣 #commitmentissues
There is a CA compliant version of Un-du! I’m in CA and was able to purchase a 32oz bottle on Amazon. You search for Un-du like you normally would, then find the one that says it’s CA compliant. I think it only comes in the larger quantities, hence the 32oz bottle, but I don’t think it was super expensive. Hope that helps!
Not to be "off topic", but you look FANTASTIC!!!❤❤❤👑💎💍 Oh, and the problem with covering up George is that he'll be the low point of someone else's day!! LOL 😏

@Katie Organ isn’t it good? I love it
I’m subscribed to Skillshare, but I need to get off my butt and use it!!
I was laughing so hard during the video... "Say you have like a date with Joe, and then he cancels on you, what a jerk, right?" lol
This hypothetical dating scene is making me laugh so loud.. love it!! "Cant keep these men straight"🤣🤣🤣
#serialdater
"Mike, because I just can't keep these men straight." Haha. Tfs your tips.

Every scenario you could possibly think of, BUT WAIT❗️THERE’S MORE❗️😂 Thanks for sharing this, Mary Ellen❗️💯😍

This is the video I didn't know I needed! Thank you for sharing these tips with us!
Love, love, love frixion pens!! They work amazing for me. I haven’t had any problems with ink fading or disappearing.
Thanks for that mention of the sticker search! Using un do is a must and so is using wax paper!
Mary Ellen u crack me up abt the guys and dates. I needed that laugh today! You had some great tips for us as well. Loved it.
Thanks for all the helpful tips. Especially the one about making use of the unused white paper surrounding stickers. Great idea! I never would have thought of that one.
”Oh no, I did it again” This was a very funny video LoL and thanks for the tips. You are just the best.

I’m very new to planning and the Happy Planner world. This video is a big help to me. Thanks so much.
You talking about Undo reminds me of the ski slope spread and how you stayed committed to it by starting over. It turned out so pretty. Great video suggestion from the Patreon folks.
Yes! That ski slope spread was so fun. I admire her commitment 😂.
This was really helpful and so entertaining. You had me laughing g at all of your many “dates”. Hope Mike wasn’t jealous! 😂
I love the undu remover. It's a lifesaver! I'm always picking up and moving stickers in my videos lol
There are some cute little arrows in one of the journaling sticker books also
Great video and tips thank you! Your my favorite planner to watch on youtube.
Ok watching Mary Ellen "accidentally drop" a sticker.... LMFAO that was the best 🤣

What a great video. I've made every single one of these mistakes. Great ideas. Already ordered the undo!!!!! Thank u thank u thank u!!!!!
You and your planner are amazing!!!✨💖

It’s such a cool site! I didn’t know they had languages on there. Awesome!
We love our frixtion pens.

where can I find the links to some of the products you used? Specifically the line stencil thing and the curved tweezers. Thank you
All of the products are linked in the video description
thank you so much , this was really helpfull 💓💓💓💓💓 i do most of these mistakes in my planner 🙃

I use label paper to cover it
Why did I not know about the sticker inventory page (thestickersearch.com) , WOW just WOW
Right? Game changer.
Cover it with a sticker! BAM! Problem solved! LOL! ❤
"I know not everyone has multiple planners"... me looking away like I dont have 4 planners unfinished from prior years cause i bought a new one mid year🤣🤣
#commitmentissues
😂😂😂😂😂 Me like, “doesn’t everyone?” 😆😆😆😆😆
I feel so validated by these comments 😂🤣😂
HIlarious...no the date with Joe turned into George but ended up with Brian LOL
lol I would need ice cream after 4 cancelled dates with 4 different guys too :)
What is the best pen to use when using the line stencil? I am finding mine smear when I move the stencil.
I use this one:
amzn.to/2OJxeUb
Keep in mind though that you need to hold the stencil securely. Then lift it up when done without dragging it across lines
@@PlanningwithBumble Awesome I have that one ordered and will most likely be here today.
Do you have any other substitutes for Un Do? Contains a chemical that is banned in California, so I can’t fine locally or have it shipped.
Really? Oh no! I don’t know of anything else
There is a CA compliant version of Un-du! I’m in CA and was able to purchase a 32oz bottle on Amazon. You search for Un-du like you normally would, then find the one that says it’s CA compliant. I think it only comes in the larger quantities, hence the 32oz bottle, but I don’t think it was super expensive. Hope that helps!
Thank you Stephanie, I’ll definitely take a look at Amazon!!
If I have bleed-through from the ink I just make sure I put a sticker in that spot on the opposite side of the paper to hide it.
Yep that’s the best solution of course
I hope Joe, George, and Brian aren't watching. This video is hilarious. lol
😅😅😅
Do you use 0.7mm or 3mm Archer and Olive pens?
I use both but for fixing mistakes the .7
@@PlanningwithBumble What about for coloring in stickers?
.7 is best because you can get into the smaller spaces.
@@PlanningwithBumble Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me!!
I was today years old when I found out I needed to take the film off my line dividers 😅
🤣 took me a while to figure that one out too
Just figured this out the other day! I was like why is it peeling already?!?! Then I was like why didn't I peel that already 😹?!?!
I still haven’t figured out HOW to peel it off 😅🤦🏻♀️
I was two years in planning before knowing there was a film. Ugh
@@debbiehiggs1705 I STILL haven’t figured out how to take the dang film off 😅

Oh, and the problem with covering up George is that he'll be the low point of someone else's day!! LOL 😏
Thanks so much!
Lol!!! What a jerk right.... totally made me laugh.
If you get your frixon ink hot and it disappeared, put the paper in the freezer for a second and it will come back
Thanks! It’s mostly the ink not being as dark that bothers me, that’s a deal breaker
🤣 over all the men!!!
Liked and subscribed 👍😉 let's be friends
I made the mess of my date numbers oops. Ideas?
Is this video based on my dating life? Lol. #mytruth
