My printables and I are on vacation…

My husband and son are out again on the ATV trails, and I’m back at our motel room cooling down from this hot summer day.

But here’s the thing… my iMac isn’t the only one on vacation.

Somewhere on your computer, there’s a printable you might have got from me — and it’s been on an unplanned vacation for way too long.

Maybe you bought it with every intention to “totally rebrand this” and then, well… life.
Maybe you loved the idea but never actually hit publish.
Maybe it’s just been… quietly napping in your downloads folder.

Consider this 💌 your wake-up call.

This week’s Bdaycation XP Challenge is about rescuing those poor, neglected printables (whether you grab one now at 78% off or already have one of mine) and giving them the glow-up they deserve — with an XP Twist.

And yes, there are prizes. Every printable you buy = 1 entry. Every finished, rebranded, XP-fied printable you submit = another entry.

Today’s Game Plan

1️⃣ Action Step:
Find one printable (new or old from my shop) that you’re willing to commit to this week.
No overthinking. Pick the one that makes you smile, feels doable, or just seems like it could be fun to play with.

2️⃣ XP Twist:
Add a “surprise layer” — something the end user wouldn’t expect.
Example: If it’s a planner, hide a tiny encouragement message on each page.
If it’s a puzzle pack, add a “bonus challenge” for those who solve everything.

3️⃣ Rebrand Boost:
Change at least 3 visible elements — colors, fonts, or imagery. Even swapping a few puzzle graphics for ones that match your brand’s vibe counts.

🎯 Your goal today: Choose the printable + decide your XP twist.
Tomorrow, we’ll get it prepped for its grand re-entrance into the world.

📍 Need a fresh printable to play with?
Grab any from my shop for 78% off with code BDAYCATION before August 17th.

(good until Sunday, Aug. 17)

Let’s wake up those sleeping beauties — mine is on bdaycation, but yours? Time to put it back to work. 🪄

Thanks for being part of my journey,

Stéphanie

P.S. Every printable you finish and submit by the deadline gets you an extra entry to win 3 months inside The Nest. Imagine the momentum you could build in there…

P.P.S. Bonus points if you buy a new printable this week, but no purchase necessary if you prefer to dust off one of mine you already have.

NOTE: I’m moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot “bad experiences” regarding my site, your members’ area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!

Disclosure: From time to time, I will include links in the emails that would include promotions for my own products or affiliate products, meaning I get paid when you buy the product. However, I only ever mention products I love and would recommend whether I was being compensated or not. Always use due diligence when buying anything and remember, what works for me may not always work for you!

Thank you so much for your support of Stephie The Happy Mom!
