Well, it’s been quite a ride with all of our product launches this year–thanks for coming along with us! Our latest and greatest, if I do say so myself, is planners and calendars! We partnered up with Blue Sky planners on this one and they’re now available at Staples stores across the country!
Planners and calendars with Blue Sky
We actually worked on this project 2 or even 3 years ago now so I’m VERY relieved to see it come to light. Getting our products into some big retailers has been a dream of mine and I’m thrilled that you can head over and pick up a variety of planners in all shapes and sizes and needs starting at $6.99. Isn’t that crazy?! There’s wall calendars, calendar inserts for binders, desk pads, spiral desk planners, pocket calendars.
The covers
The collection features a variety of florals, color blocks, waves, stripes, and floral checkerboards. There’s, of course, a Scandinavian folk quality to a lot of the florals, some bolder graphics, and some that are a bit mod. We wanted to design something for everyone.
The interiors
We also designed the interiors of the planners featuring our own fonts, lots of fun borders, frames, waves. My FAVORITE part is at the beginning of each planner. I wanted to do something that would stoke the creative force we all have so there’s a section for vision for the year, resolutions, skills you want to develop, and places to put how you want to stay creative this year. There’s also a QR code for each month which leads you to some specific projects we recommend for each month.
I love that it’s both clean and refreshing, but also directive. You can pretty much cater it to whatever your needs are!
Blue Sky at Staples
While we are on a mission to encourage people to make things with their hands, we realize that there are a number of you out there who don’t want to make anything but still want some Lars in their life and that’s just what we are trying to do with all these partnerships. That’s precisely why I’m so glad to partner up with stellar companies like Blue sky who do what they do so well, which means that we can do what we do well, and you can bring in something colorful and whimsical into your home at such a great price.
I have to talk about this moment here. This was a busy day. I was planning a party for Valentine’s Day and this shoot was in the morning. Felix likes to be involved with EVERYTHING and he showed up during this scene in this sheet wanting to snuggle. Never one to deny a snuggle I gladly accepted. Ha! Whenever you see my kids in shoots it’s because I can’t get them out of the room. Bahahahahha.
Anywho! Our planners are now available at Staples across the country. I’d call them first to make sure that they are stocked there before making a trip. I know my local store said they don’t have them in yet.
I’ll be sharing more tips and tricks with our planners soon!
