Hello there, something other than a card today. I had big fun with this project and with some tweaks I think I can make a few for different occasions. JustRite Stampers is releasing a new font today called Myriad Pro (in upper case and lower case) and did it ever come in handy for this project. Since I didn’t have stamps with these words, I could make my own and make them quickly! This is by far my favorite JustRite Stampers font!! It is very balanced and since it doesn’t have serifs the spacing of the letters is perfect.
This is a view from the side – the planner simply folds and is tied with ribbon. I originally tried magnets but learned that they need to be very strong to hold everything together, mine were on the weak side. I’ll be on the look out for the stronger ones..
This is a view with the planner opened up. On the left is a Junior Legal pad cut in half then trimmed to 5 3/8". In the center and on the right are two small notebooks that I made by cutting paper, cutting the binding holes with a binding punch then threading the coil. The covers and backs are pieces of design paper backed by a more sturdy cardstock.
Laying down :-) For each notepad I made I cut a Spellbinders Lacey Square and Labels Fifteen to make a label for the contents. On the front of the planner I used Labels Four.
Lastly, this is the flip side! I used fabric tape on all the joints after I learned that paper was not well suited to the stress of the bending. The fabric tape I used is actually silk medical tape. We have tons of it laying around the house and nothing is safe from my crafting scavenger hunts, lol!!

In case you didn’t stop to see me yesterday I just want to repeat some things that are going on with JustRite Stampers. It’s been a big month for JustRite Stampers – remember you have until August 31st to order your free catalog and the bonus is that the shipping on the catalog is free too. Check for the details HERE. Also, JustRite has announced that they will now be selling Copic Markers. You can see the entire JustRite selection of Copic Markers HERE and if you’re not quite sure which ones to buy – there’s a JustRite chart with blending sets appropriate to the artwork on JustRite stamps – you can download it HERE.

Hey Becca. I love this Holiday list. I can create my own size to make one. But I’m thinking I’d like to have at least a measurement to have a starting point. Will you be adding the measurements to it anywhere? Thanks for all your love creations. I am always amazed at how lovely they are. TFS

This is really a clever idea Becca, I love the finished project. It keeps you organized and is something pretty to look at. Maybe you could do a “Becca Bit” for us, if time permits of course. I would love to learn to make a planner like this. Beautiful work Becca. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

I’m joining in with everyone else – this is simply beautiful. And PLEASE PLEASE could you do a tutorial on the inside elements (like how and what did you use to cut through all those layers of paper?) as well as the making of the outer planner shell itself. We would all be so very grateful.
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and your ingenuity.
I’d love to see a tutorial on this! I would also like to see a tutorial on your Spellbinders Snowflake die 3-D snowflakes. Awesome, Becca!
I would be happy to PAY for a tutorial for this project!!
