Visions of Sugarplums Day 1

Welcome to the first day of Lori Hairston's Vision of Sugarplums 2015. Lori has a great line up this year with lots of inspiration and prizes. I am so excited to be playing along and sharing some ideas and recipes with you this year.

My first project is to help you get organized. This won't be helpful this year, if you are already done with your shopping, but for those who aren't, this is a quick project to help you stay on task with your cards and shopping lists...a Christmas Planner. This is made with a pocket folder and Cutting Cafe's Holiday Planner Printable Set. The "hardest" part is deciding which papers to use!

I just decided to use some scraps from my stash to create this. the white pocket folder is one I had in my stash from way back when Ben Franklin's closed years ago. (Did I mention I'm a bit of a hoarder? LOL) The lovely May Arts ribbon keeps it closed.

Here is a peek at the inside of the first 2 pages:

You can see in the photo above 2 of the designs I printed from the Holiday Planner set. The decals are some that came in a Christmas paper set. I left them blank as this is a gift for someone.

Now a peek at the last 2 pockets. The last pocket is blank to keep receipts in.

Would you like to see some others I have created? You can go here (this is the one I use), hErE, HERE, and heRe.
