<p class="p1">Why wait until January to start a new planner? Now you can hit <a href="http://www.target.com/" target="_blank">Target</a> and shop a range from Susy Jack, whose beguiling patterns are especially perfect for summer (and beyond). The collection, created in collaboration with <a href="http://www.bluesky.com" target="_blank">Blue Sky</a>, includes <span class="s1"> planners, calendars, clipfolios and binders in Susy&#8217;s signature fun, contemporary and abstract prints. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But don&#8217;t take it from me — check the trio of patterns out for yourself. These 8.5-x-11-inch planners feature plenty of writing space, monthly and weekly views, plus tabs for easy navigation.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Any indie maker dreams of landing on Target&#8217;s shelves, so Susy kindly took a few questions about how the collection came to be. </span><span class="s3"> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s3">SS: </span><span class="s2">What were you trying to create with this collection?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">SJ: As someone who uses a paper planner herself, I felt the collection should be stylish, but equally importantly, easy to use and keep organized<b>.</b> With the bold and vibrant prints that I create, I knew it would be the perfect marriage between style, functionality and quality. Since a planner is used for an entire year, it was important to create designs that were refreshing and classic — something that delights you each time you use it.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">SS: What was Target specifically looking for in the collection?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s2">SJ: Organizing solutions wrapped in bright, colorful designs seemed to be a perfect match for Target’s young, vibrant guest. Blue Sky and I collaborated and developed this unique product assortment to present to Target, and I just knew it would be an instant hit. The pastel colorways and nature-inspired designs were perfect for a fresh collection at Target, and my aim was to create styles that would offer a little visual treat, but also be durable enough to stand up to a busy work and/or home lifestyle.</span></p>
<p class="p1">Here&#8217;s a few more fun peeks! Everything runs from July 2015-June 2016, and I love the black stripe on these tablet-style calendars.</p>
