- squeal like a girl -
Graphic 45!!
We've paired May Arts Ribbons and Graphics 45 to bring you a week full of fun, giveaways and projects. We'll be posting our projects on our individual blogs so grab a cuppa something, a Christmas cookie and come along, 'cause you'll want to see it all.
Another good part is that you get a few bites a day so you won't have to spend hours hopping around - double coolness and more cookies. ;-)
Today is my day! Be sure to stay until the end of this post because I have links to more FABULOUS May Arts designers and awesome Graphic 45 designers. Here we go...
I'm determined to be more organized this year. (I think I say that every year.) So, I've created a Monthly Card Organizer. Each month has a calendar for noting special events and a pocket to insert the cards for that month. I kept the embellishments to a minimum because I want to be sure my cards will go in each pocket undamaged.
Remember, you can click on any photo to make it larger.

This is GREAT! What a beautiful, inspiring way to organize! Love it - thanks!
Looks like it would be useful and fun to make, sadly I'm so unorganized that it would certainly have to be given away in order to be useful.
I have been wanting to make something like this for a while!! Thanks for reminding me. . . G45 just makes it that much better!!!
Love this. Good way to keep the cards organized. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I love your card notebook. Great way to keep track of important dates to send cards and even to get the cards done in advance. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
WOW...what an amazing project, but that doesn't surprise me coming from you. Everything you do is amazing!!! It's been so long since I have been to visit your blog, I'm going to take a look around to see what I've missed.
I need to make this. I keep trying to get organized. I'm usually good til March. Then the birthday rush catches up with me (there are 12 birthdays between the end of Feb and April). Thank you for sharing!
Clever idea and nicely done!! Bravo!!!
You created a beautiful way to stay organized. I am inspired!
What a fantastic idea, and you have made it amazingly beautiful! This is one idea I may have to copy, I am terrible at remembering to send cards, making them is easy, sending them seems to be really hard lol. Thanks for inspiring ;)
Great idea - and yours is beautiful!
Great idea for not missing important dates, and even better, to use up scrap leftovers to make cards to fill in all the pockets. Beautifully done.
I like the classic lines.
Nice idea!
LOVE your project!! The paper is perfect. I really like projects that are useable. thanks!
Love this, so clever and beautiful!

This is an awesome project. As I am making the cards for my Mom to send out thru 2012; this will be an excellent way of organizing the cards for her. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas.
Great idea, and very cute!!!
What a fabulous way to store your cards...very cute : )
