Plan With Me Haunted House Set
In this video I show you a timelapse video of me decorating my planner for the week of July 8th- July 14th
I start with laying out Halloween scrapbook paper so I can create the mood for the theme I want behind the stickers. Similar so how you would decorate the walls of a spooky dark home before you start on adding furniture and decor.
I like to use a combination of full pictures, pictures with transparent white boxes for writing, half boxes, and writing boxes. I usually sleep in during the mornings or to incoherent to plan things so it's pretty easy for me to just fill this area with pictures to set the mood for the day ahead.
The afternoon is when I am most productive so I like to make sure I have lots of room to write my task for the day, and I tend to leave these blank so there's lots of room for change unless I have set plans.
I like to have half boxes for the evening because I'm usually done with my daily tasks in the afternoon. Evenings are for relaxing with shows on netflix, snacks, and sometimes wine.
Washi tape helps to fill in the white space even more than the scrapbook paper. I tried to use tape that fit into the margins and fit the theme I want for the week.
After all of the functional stickers are set I like to add in some extras for fun because I like looking at it. And I also love date covers because it just adds to the over look and feel of the theme I'm going for depending on my week. There's also some Halloween stickers for Michael's they sell year round in the holiday section of the stickers aisle depending on your location. The stickers with words are from Tim Holtz small talks stickers. Not Halloween or spooky but they are black and they fit into my positive thoughts section of my planner well.
These stickers are made for Erin Condren size planner, but I don't have one. I still like this size because it gives me extra room to add scrapbook pages, quotes, and stickers. So your planner stickers will look different than mines depending one the one you have may vary in size. Enjoy!

How to make your planner Goth AF!
1) You'll need a planner, preferably something that has three vertical slots for each day as well as a monthly layout. Like this
2) You may need to stock up on Halloween scrapbook paper, Halloween washi tape, Halloween stamps and sticker in your local craft store while they are in season. I prefer to do my Halloween shopping the first week of November when everything is 70% - 90% or buy one get one free. But the downside to this is that some of the good things I had my eye on in August may be gone already.
Last Year I got Martha Stewart's Halloween scrapbook paper and it had a color scheme of blacks, grays, golds, and silvers and some were metallic. It has lots of skulls, spiders, bats, moths, and more spooky delights.
3) If you like to decorate the edges you may want to grab some of the Halloween washi tape while it's out in stores.
9) Planner layout inspirations so you can get an idea of how to get started with using them.
The last step you'll need to do is get started is where you are with what you have and slowly start to add to it as you see fit. Change it up every week. Then at the end of the year you'll get to see how creative you were next to all you've accomplished over the last 365 days.
I prefer ones around 8.5x11 because I can add folder to keep planner accessories and stickers in. As well as documents I need throughout the year. But feel free to pick whatever size you like.
3) If you like to decorate the edges you may want to grab some of the Halloween washi tape while it's out in stores.
Here's an example of some I got last year but there's so much more variety than that.
4) Great time to stock up on stickers and stamps while they are in season. These are great for adding to your planner stickers or something to use instead as they still add a spooky touch.
Unfortunately, I didn't stock up on stamps last year or the year before that because I prefer stickers. But if stamps are more your thing go for it.
5) No need to wait till Halloween to start your planner journey. You can visit sites like Etsy for planner stickers to use once and done or you can choose printable planner stickers. That means th once you buy it, it downloads in your account or email within seconds of purchase. You can print it out on sticker paper or regular paper and use a glue stick. You will have the file forever and can use it as many times as you'd like. That means endless possibilities for all of your planner decorating needs.
6) Etsy is also a good place to seek journal paper like this one and more. Halloween/Gothic scrapbook or journal paper can serve as a background to set the tone for your weekly layout. Or it can be used as a planner cover, binder cover, or to cover up those over the top girly in between page with lots of flowers and sometimes quotes you may not agree with.
Here's a few examples of how journal/scrapbook paper can be used.
7) Planner stickers! They come in all sorts of varieties. You can get ones that fit into Erin Condren planners or Happy planners which are the most popular brands. Erin Condren allows for planner customization for your needs, but you'll have to do the decorating yourself. Unfortunately, they don't have anything dark and spooky not even for Halloween. Happy Planners are most commonly found in Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and other craft stores. They sell year round but at the end of the year they have sells. Happy Planners also have the option to start in the middle of the year with their 18-month planner which starts in June of the current year till the end, and starts again for a full year in January.
8) Planner cover can set the tone for your planner and help you decide what kind of year you want to have. What you want to include more of in your life. Or it can just be art to match your aesthetic.
10) You can add in other things like decorated list like these to make the To Do list area a little more fun.

Gothic Planner Stickers
About a year or so ago I got into planning after seeing videos on Youtube with people decorating their planners and how they looked and I loved it. I stocked up of Halloween journal paper, Halloween washi tape, Halloween and Gothic planner stickers on etsy, Halloween stickers, and more. I really loved decorating my planner to fit with my style and personality. I was disappointed to see there weren't any Gothic or Halloween style planners on the market either online or in store around Halloween. So after I started Spooky Dark Girls I began to use my art prints with supporting imagery to create my own planner stickers and produce my own plan with me videos. I hope other Goths and Alternative people enjoy especially POC which is what the brand focuses on can enjoy and appreciate it. Here's a few that I have so far.
