Today I'm showing you two Holiday Planners that I made on Saturday. They started off as pocket folders. Blue Moon Stamping has great pics of a planner, and so does Jan Tink. Check them out! Jan even has links for additional pages to put inside.
I already had these pictures taken with the camera phone, and I didn't retake them with the new digital. Sorry! The front of this planner has "holiday planner" stamped with the Karen Foster small snap stamps. It's matted a couple of times, and two cardstock stickers were added.
Here's the inside. I haven't added anything to the pockets yet, but I will add an envelope for receipts, some paper for a shopping list, and I'm not sure what else.
On this one, I stamped "holiday planner" with a Stampin' Up alphabet, but I can't remember which one I used. It belongs to my friend Queen Diva Sue! The snowflake and the Santa are also from Sue! In fact, all of the paper I used is from Sue! I provided ONLY the folders! The good thing is that she wants us to use up her stuff when we scrap in the Diva Den, so it's all OK!
This is the inside of the the 2nd one. The best part about these is that I didn't need to use the "pretty paper". Know what I mean? I could have used Basic Grey Figgy Pudding, Dasher, or Blitzen, sure . . . but it also looks great with the Christmas paper that's a little bit old, a little bit too bold, and kinda forgotten! Don't you think?
Ribbon was added to close them up. Here they are side by side. I'm happy with these. I think they turned out very cute, and I'm looking forward to making one that isn't holiday-themed. So, what do you think?
The craft fair is Saturday, and now it's CRUNCH TIME! I need to get it ALL done! Whew! Thanks for stopping by!

I am also working on some holiday organizers like these. I also have only the paper and no other embellishments...maybe by the New Year. At least you have one completely done. I agree too with the ability to use older bolder paper for this project. Great work!
