Make an Easy Christmas Pocket Planner!

christmas pocket plannerHere's a pretty entry in the Christmas pocket planner category: a multi-year planner from Louise at the Home is Where My Craft Room Is craft blog.

This elegant planner sports a distinctive color scheme using coordinated patterned papers. Inside, I really like the labelled pockets; no confusion about what goes where!

Best, the project is easy enough for this crafts-challenged editor. And while Louise used a commercial digital product to print out her lists, it would be just as easy to use the free Christmas pocket planner pages offered over at Organized Christmas to fill pockets with printed forms.

Ready to try your hand at an accordion pocket planner? At blog They Call Me Jammi, you'll find a lively example and video tutorial for this Christmas planner project.

While similar to a Christmas pocket planner, an accordion pocket planner sandwiches more than one set of file folder pockets into the planner cover. The expanded storage space offers more room and versatility for planner calendars, lists and planning pages.

Simple, sweet and oh, so organized!

altered file folderReady to get organized for the holiday season? Find inspiration--and how-to help--with this altered file folder tutorial from papercraft blog Angel Stamper.

Made from a simple office file folder, this lovely little Christmas planner packs a lot of punch into a small space. Precise measurements, clear instructions and close-up photos make it easy (even for crafting klutzes like me!) to create a pretty place to prepare for Christmas.

Note, too, the clever use of non-traditional colors and patterns. Who says Christmas has to be red and green? With this kind of inspiration, an inexpensive file folder and a few scraps of scrapbooking paper can become a Christmas organizing powerhouse. Nice job!
