Sidekick Prompts - Postage Stamps

Hello Creative Friends and welcome back to my blog!

I am working on getting caught up with my sidekick Prompts and today I am sharing March 16 Prompt - Postage Stamps! Now although there are no postage stamps per say, the numbers I used are from the Postage Stamp Die Set

The photo is from a winter storm that hit our area, and really although the temps in our area are cooler, our winter has been very mild compared to what we are use to.

For this prompt, i used a few Planner Essential Sets to complete this

Sidekick Page. I started with Sidekick 5 for the page.

I used the tags from Tab 4 which i cut out onto craft paper, i then added the tag topper in black. i had some strips of fabric left over from a project i attempted ( it is one of those WIP, that i never completed)

I really want to do some sewing on my pages moving forward. so i sewed a couple strips onto the tag. Really this was a test to see if i wanted to continued doing this, and well, yes, i most certainly do! SO i die cut the numbers from the Postage Stamp Set, and ran the tag through my sewing machine again.

I also used the banner from File Folder Set 1, and then sewed that onto the tag.

I also used the 2004 - Sidekick Pocket to die cut the photo, and i also sewed that on the tag. then adhered the tag onto my page.

I love how my page turned out and hope to have inspired you to try some sewing on your pages too.

Until Next time - Happy Crafting

Graphic 45 December Planner

Hello G45ers and welcome to the blog today as I share with you my

December Planner using the fabulous Letters to Santa Collection.

I have to admit, I am a A5 planner Fanatic as well and I was looking at the Travel Album

and Notebook and I thought it would be great to work that into my December Planner.

I came up with a plan to incorporate it and here is what I came up with.

Taking the notebooks out of the Travel Album,

-I cut a A5 planner base page,

-lined up the notebook on the template

- and used a pen to mark my holes.

-I then took my Crop-o-Dile and punched the holes.

-The book would have been too thick to run through mydie cutting machine, and I wanted the holes to be the same on each and every page.

I then went to the middle of the notebook and took the staples out and used the pages

in my A5 Planner, what a great idea!! In the end I put the third notebook pages at the back

of my A5 Planner for more journaling and photos.

Using the Stamps, I stamped various images on the Notebook Pages, and looked like

they fit perfectly in my planner.

I used various dies and die cut images I felt would work with Letters to Santa.

I tried to use one notebook page for each day of the month of December, I also used a die to cut the Dates out.

In the above spread, you can see how I cut the notebook cover in Half,

covered it with paper from the collection and used it as a page in my A5 Planner.

This is the front of the Notebook Cover Page.

I love how this project turned out and hope I have inspired you to pull out that unused or waiting to be

used Travel Album and perhaps, try this idea, especially if you are an A5 Planner Fan like me.

Check out my walk through video of the Planner and how I altered the notebooks to

use in the Planner.
