New Gillio colour:"Bubblegum"!B6 Stalogy+Amica....and Appunto A5!

Hi planner folks!

A couple of weeks ago,Gillio surprised us with a new colour!
I received a sample and the invoice said:"Bubblegum".
I was sooooo sure it would be a new epoca leather!!
You can imagine the big surprise,when it turned out to be a mat croco...!!!
Currently I am in love with the B6 Stalogy and I received a medium Amica in that new colour (which is a limited edition).
I removed the rings by the Steve-Morton-Method,without damaging the parts.I was able to fit them back together,so I can put them back in,when I like to get back into rings.
The medium Amica fits the B6 Stalogy like a glove - and you don't have to remove the backpate (which would destroy the warranty).

When Gillio released the bubblegum mat crocos,I was not able to snap me a personal wide....but almost 2 weeks later,some bubblegum planners popped up in the good deals corner,and I was able to get me an A5 Appunto!I might use that one in 2020 ;-)
But first things first - here is the de-ringed medium Amica:

I drew me a week on 2 pages,that fits my needs...
and a very simple month per page to track holidays etc. ... also for 2020........

The B6 Stalogy is such a nice book!I loved drawing my own calendar!

Now...here is the A5 bubblegum with a different brand notebook ( Cedon ),which I already had in my posession:

Beautiful stencil from Kathja aka "Kathie's pouches"!
She sells them in many sizes and different options!

I hope you enjoy the summer,wherever you are from!

Gillio personal wide Compagna

Hi planner peeps!

On PCE 2019 Gillio launched their personal wide Compagnas.
Since there had been more releases,I decided not to try one..........but.....but....aaaaaaah - now I did!!
It is such a great size!More generous paper-size (same hight and holes as a medium size,but wider),more lush leather to cuddle.
On first sight,I did not liked the squarish size,but now I do!
It is too heavy for me,to carry it with me,but it is a wonderful planner!
I decided to go with the blue mat croco....look at this beauty :

While I was waiting for those beautiful inserts from PaperFairyDesign,I gave a Rhodia-paperpad (A4 size)to a friend who is working as a bookbinder.He was so nice to cut it to pw-size for me.
I draw a month per page on the Rhodia paper - inserts.
From PaperFairyDesign I ordered the calendar with the monthly squares,the week on 2 pages and a finances-tracker.
The dividers I crafted myself.The first one is a pouch,which holds some pages with passwords etc. ;-)
The penloop is a Leuchtturm penloop,that you can just stick on a divider or dashboard.

I hope you enjoyed todays post...there are 2 more to come ;-)

Gillio croco-love

Hi planner peeps!

Since my croco-collection changed a bit,I felt the need to give you an update :-D
The Gillio croco mat is just a print on cowhide,btw!
From the day I saw my first Gillio mat croco (which was a medium sized Compagna in honey mat,at Dössel&Rademacher in Hamburg),I totally fell in love with that print....and with the brand anyway!
The croco mat is different from batch to batch....and from hide to hide.
Some feel chalky,which is VERY smooth with a feel of a powdery finish...some are just smooth..some feel a bit toothy/fabric-ish.
At the end they will all develope a patina,which makes them even smoother and more shiny.
The smaller the planner and the more you use it,the faster the patina will develope.
Here is my Mini Mia Cara in rosewood mat croco,one photo without patina,and one photo with beautiful patina....
