Get it done!

Hello lovely people,

If you saw my last post you will know exactly what I mean with this post title!  And I have a cunning plan to help me with the crafty side of things.

But first I have to tell you about our brand new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this time is everyone's favourite...

ANYTHING GOES

So, I made a planner!

But then you probably guessed that seeing as I labelled it with big letters!

I have developed a real love of Magnolia stamps over the past year so I chose a pretty Tilda as my cover star.

I promise you her dress is pink IRL even though it looks a bit purply in the pic below!

I created the front/back covers and dividers with extra thick Kraft card and made little circular tabs for the dividers.

Each tab is 2 circles of DP with a part circle of Kraft sandwiched in between where it overhangs the divider, and then I layered the DP covering the dividers over the top for a neat finish.

The dividers are currently blank other than being covered in a layer of DP and I plan to decorate them in future along with some more of my favourite Magnolia images.

I have put one pocket on the inside front cover where I can tuck scraps of paper with important notes on though... I always seem to have lots of these!

I also created all the pages inside with my own monthly and weekly planner charts, lists for commissions I have to make, challenges I have entered and that all important 'to do' list.

However, I am not entirely happy with all of these and I have scribbled all over them so I won't show you them now.

I hope to update them to my satisfaction so I can share them with you soon.

I do have my Copic colours to share though;
