Watercolor Halloween Printable Planner Pages For October

Taking advantage of printable planner pages is a fun and easy way to spruce up your planner and get ready for planning your busy fourth quarter. By this late in the year, I’m usually feeling a bit bored with the set of planner pages I purchased and ready for a change! Unfortunately, planner pages for the current year usually aren’t stocked in the fall and ordering pages online can be hit or miss (plus you have to wait for the snail mail to arrive). Printing your own planner pages at home for October is the perfect way to make your planner fun again without waiting for the mail. As a bonus, I’ve also created a sheet of Halloween planner stickers for you. Bye, boring planner pages you purchased last January.

How to use printable planner pages

This post may include affiliate links which means I may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. There are three important things to remember when using these printable planner pages:

Use premium printer paper, not your cheapest copy paperMake sure the pages print at 100% size for the Happy Planner (unless you’re intentionally scaling them down). Many programs will try to scale the Happy Planner pages up to fill the page - make sure to double check and ensure you’re printing at actual size/100%.Scale to “fit” for the letter size if your printer can’t print marginless. If you can do marginless printing, use that feature.

I used my printer ink (so you don’t have to waste yours) to test five different papers to demonstrate the best paper for planner printables. Make sure to check out that post for a side-by-side comparison of papers to see why I recommend using 32# paper. Your print dialogue box should look something like this: The Happy Planner pages have very light grey dotted trim lines to eliminate guesswork and frustration. I use my paper trimmer with a guide wire to trim away the excess easily and accurately.
The printables in the video were printed on this presentation paper. I always use either presentation paper or premium printer paper for my planner printables. I think the presentation paper has more beautiful images, but the Premium32 paper is heavier (so your writing is less likely to show through). After trimming your pages, you’ll need to punch holes with your Happy Planner hole punch before inserting them in your planner.

Printable October planner pages

Like all journal and planner printables here on The Artisan Life, these pages are for personal use. You are not licensed to alter, redistribute, or sell the digital files or printed pages. Instead of sharing the files with others, please send them a link to this page so they can download their own files (even if you have the freebie version). The Artisan Life is a user supported site - your views and support mean the world to me! The Happy Planner insert printables are not simply scaled down versions of the letter size. I designed them first and painstakingly matched box sizes to make sure you can use your favorite HP stickers with these printable planner pages. The letter-sized October planner printables can easily be added to your 3 ring binder, household binder, or your planner system of choice if you want to scale the pages when you print. The US letter will fit in the Big Happy Planner, but the box sizes may not line up exactly. I’m personally a Classic user and don’t have any Big pages on hand. There are two versions of the printables: the set of free planner pages and the October planner kit with 22 pages for one very low price.
