I don't know about you, but every New Year's my top 2 resolutions are always 1) lose weight (duh!) and 2) get organized! I've done good with my first one, losing 70lbs this past year, but I can never seem to get organized. So this upcoming year is MY year! LOL. And while I love all the cute and girly planners out there, I figured I might as well put my Cinch and Imagine to good use and make myself one but these would also make GREAT gifts to give out to anybody! :)
Tools needed for this planner:
Cinch
2 8x8 chipboard covers
Imagine
Paperbag for pockets
Jewels
patterned paper for decoration
What I did for the title was I cut out a decorative square from my Imagine at 5" and 4.5" for the brown one. I then cut out 2011 from Don Juan at 2" and I embossed the numbers in light pink. I then adhered jewels all around the edges using my iRock and added some ribbon to the wire. Yes, there is no black in my cover but I chose black ribbon to go along with my pink because that is my favorite color combo! (:D)
The inside calendar pages were used using my Imagine and Designer Calendar cartridge. I cut the pages out to 8x8 and printed my calendar grid (did not cut!) on both sides. I also printed out the months at the top so that I didn't have to do any cutting. :)
And lastly, I cut up a paper bag to 6" and used it as a "pocket" to hold notes and adhered Terrifically Tacky Tape to some post it notes so that I could use those in my planner and also, I could use that pocket to leave emergency info or contact information should I ever hire a babysitter :)
And that's it! I hope you all are having a great Holiday season! Feel free to comment below and let me know any homemade items you've made, I'm always looking for inspiration! :D
I'm sure you're a lot more organized than you think! Beautiful project! (There is a tut for a card planner on splitcoast stampers that turns out gorgeous too!)
