Happy Friday to all of you! Today starts a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over on the Greeting Farm Blog. It was our lovely Rachel's turn to choose our theme and she wants to see ... anything but a card.
I picked up this journal at Michaels a couple of weeks ago for $1. I had no idea what I was going to do with it but geez, $1? I couldn't pass it up for that price, right? So I decided I would make my daughter a Christmas planner this year so she can keep track of Christmas gifts, wish lists, parties, etc. I used the adorable Holiday Anya 2 and colored her with copics and colored pencils. I applied Glamour Dust to her sash and cut her out with some nestabilities. I added some tabs to the pages but left them blank so my daughter can decide how she wants to use this little journal. Then I tied some matching ribbons along the edge for a fun look. I'm pretty sure she's going to love this little planner :) Please be sure to stop by the Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of the DT is sharing today.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Anita
