A Walk Down Memory Lane with the 12th Anniversary Sampler

The PlannerKate Anniversary Sale is almost here, and I couldn't be more excited! This year we're celebrating 12 amazing years of PlannerKate, and today I'm sharing how I used the 2026 Anniversary Sampler in my Laurel Denise Kristy planner.

As a reminder, you'll receive this full-size Anniversary Sampler FREE with every order placed on sale day, July 29, 2026! You'll also receive an exclusive anniversary vinyl decal. Be sure to watch your inbox and follow PlannerKate on social media because all of the sale details will be announced on July 26, 2026. You won't want to miss it!

One of my favorite things about this year's sampler is the vintage theme. I've been using PlannerKate stickers since Kate first opened her Etsy shop back in 2014, so seeing some of these retired favorites instantly brought back memories. It's amazing how something as simple as a sticker can transport you back to a specific planner, a particular season of life, and even the memories you were documenting at the time.

Back then, my little guy had just been born, and I was still discovering my own planning style. Through every stage of life since then, PlannerKate's functional stickers have been there to help keep me organized. Looking at this sampler felt like flipping through my own planning history.

For this spread, I couldn't wait to use some of those classic designs again. The heart checklists and circle icons were staples in my planners for years, so it was fun giving them another moment to shine. I paired the heart checklists with the adorable house icon in my sidebar to create a simple weekly reset routine.

The circle icons worked perfectly alongside a bullet journal sticker from one of the previous Anniversary Samplers—a fun reminder that all six past Anniversary Samplers are still available to shop if you'd like to add even more PlannerKate favorites to your collection.

Another nostalgic favorite is the simple bar-style weekend banner. Sometimes the classics really are timeless! I also used the rainbow labels to highlight my pickleball schedule and the sale icons to mark Misfit Monday and Warehouse Wednesday. The result is a colorful, functional weekly spread that feels both fresh and packed with old memories at the same time.

This Anniversary Sampler is such a fun celebration of PlannerKate's journey over the past twelve years, and I love that it also celebrates the planning journeys of so many longtime customers. Whether you've been here since the Etsy days or you just discovered PlannerKate recently, I hope you have as much fun creating with this sampler as I did.

I can't wait to see how everyone uses theirs! Be sure to share your Anniversary Sampler spreads on social media because I'll definitely be scrolling through and admiring all of your creativity!

Happy planning, and here's to celebrating 12 incredible years of PlannerKate! 🎉
