CHRISTMAS MAGIC PLANNER PAGES | with Anabelle

I love the size of my Micro Planner! I created it with the adorable Christmas Magic collection. My previous blog post shows how I designed the cover and the inserts. Today, I'm sharing how I made it chunky! I love the feel of a full planner and this one definitely doesn't disappoint.



The beauty of creating my own Micro planner is that I can choose exactly what I want to have in it. The Christmas Magic collection has so many adorable elements that it was hard to narrow down what I wanted to use! But, I did and I love how it looks. I'll be carrying this one with me throughout December. My goal is to make it my Christmas/Gratitude notebook. I want to keep track of things I'll need for the holidays, but also journal a bit about the true reason for the season each day. 

Here is a little fold out page with a picture of my son. Keeping his photo with me in my planner is only natural since he's the one I want to keep front and center during this holiday season. I started off my adding the gingerbread house die cut to the left of the page. Then, I cut a piece of patterned paper, folded it in half and punched the left hand sand. I added a tag and some washi along with a chit chat to the front. 
The inside of the page holds the picture and and a little tag that I embellished. 
The next page I added is a shaker page. I knew I wanted to have some sequins in my little planner and this was a fun way of doing it. I took a page protector and trimmed it to 3 by 5. I slide in the tag and sequins then added the strip of paper to the left side. I stitched down the paper and plastic to seal the pocket. Then, I punched the paper and added it to my little notebook. I love how cute that gingerbread man is!


I decided to use the cute number squares paper to decorate the pages of my planner. The ones from the 6 by 6 paper pad are the perfect size for these 3 by 4 pages. I decorated each page in a similar fashion.



Each page is trimmed with washi, has a stickers and the number square. I used the house washi on this page along with the the wreath and gift stickers.


I love how the candy cane striped washi looks on this page. I used two layered ornament stickers on the left page and like how that turned out!



This page has the Christmas tree washi and some more cute stickers. I used the Mini Icon ones on these pages as the size was just right!



The next insert page I added to my Micro Planner is a receipt pocket. This is the perfect place to hide my receipts! I used one of the cards from the Christmas Card pack. It was 4" tall so I trimmed it down to 3" wide. I added some Teensy Type stickers to the tab, stitched the one side shut and added the tag and stickers. The washi trim on the bottom made a perfect finishing touch.


My final insert is a pocket page that I designed. I love having pockets in my planner and this one turned out so cute. I cut a poece paper to 4 by 5.75 inches. I folded it almost in half, leaving the edge that I could hole punch. I opened it back up and trimmed the triangular piece off, creating a pocket. Then, I took the piece I cut and added it to the bottom, which made the second part of the pocket. I lightly tacked down the edges to hold it in place and stitched along the side and bottom. I added the die cuts and cute clip. 


I added a tag into the top part of the pocket. I love having blank tags in my planner.  You never know when you are going to need one!
As you can see, my little Micro Planner is ready to go. I am so excited to use it for December and can't wait to fill it up with happy thoughts and memories.  Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek!
