Small, sweet and colorful, we love this crafty ring-bound planner from craft designer Erica's Doing Something Else!
Erica used commercial scrapbooking products to create her little planner. With simple ring binding, pretty dividers and a free printable for small-sized planner pages, it packs a lot of organizing power in a tiny creative package.
Better, this would make a great "scrappy" project to use extra chipboard and bits and pieces of holiday-themed scrapbooking paper to good effect. Add some down-sized planner pages from Organized Christmas, and you could create your own planner for pennies .. or less!
Nice job!

It's a binder. It's an accordion file. It'll supercharge your Christmas planner to create a place for receipts, recipes and tear files along side your gift lists and menu plans: the Duo 7-Pocket Accordion File Binder.
This bright idea combines the efficiency of a standard three-ring binder with the convenience of of an expanding accordion file, making it perfect to house your Christmas planner.
