Inky’s Homemade Holiday Gifts Blog Hop

Welcome to Inky’s Homemade Holiday Gifts Blog Hop! If you’ve come from
Bev's Blog you are right on track. If not be sure to start at Inky Antics blog to start from the beginning. You won't want to miss one bit of wonderful inspiration!
For my gift idea I used 4543-3K  Candy Cane Crock to create a Christmas Planner, which you can find on this page: http://www.inkyantics.com/november2011hop.htm

I used a manilla folder, cut off the tabs, folded the bottom up and then accordian folded it and covered with papers. The folder was 50 cents, the papers $1.25 (got on sale for 25 cents each at a scrapbook sale) and then the printed papers for the inside. So for $2-ish a nice fun gift.

I used a Tombow Fastener Tab to make a closure.

Here is the inside:

The pages for the inside are free printables from www.organizedchristmas.com. They have all kinds of wonderful printables. The 'Christmas Planner' is printed from Cutting Cafe's Holiday Planner Printable Stamp set.

The blog hop starts today and ends on Sunday, November 20th at midnight Central time. Please visit each DT members’ blog to view their projects and leave a comment for each designer.
