Hellooooo Hawt Blog Readers! I know I’m super late with this project, I hope you can forgive me.

Last week I had an idea for a way to organize dates and cards all together, so I could be better about sending them out. Naturally, Bree had already beaten me to it with her Greeting Card File! So of course I HAD to make it using super sweet products by Traci!

So, without further delay, here we go!

Products: Chipboard for covers, crop-o-dile or hole punch, assorted adhesives, pens, ribbons, buttons, and your printed pieces.

I made this MUCH harder and more complicated than it needs to be. I printed all the individual pieces pieces of the pages from Bree’s templates, and then pieces them together in real life. A MUCH easier solution, is to just print the pages whatever size you want the file to be (mine is 8×8, Bree’s templates are 6×5.5). Now you know! LOL!

I used plain cardstock to cover my chipboard piece for the cover. This picture shows an easier way to get those corner folds pretty. Fold the corners in, then fold the other pieces over.

I used plain pieces of white cardstock as the bases for all my pages, and glued the rest of the main pieces on only 3 sides, to create pockets. This way I can slip the cards I need inside the month pockets and keep everything organized together! So just follow the digital layouts you made to create the pages in real life (if you go my route and assemble the pieces seperately), or just adhere the full printed pages on 3 sides for your pockets. Punch holes using the cover as your guide, slip some binder rings through, decorate them with ribbons, and you’re good to go! Here are my monthly pages I used “Just Believe”, “Sugarplum Fairies”, “On Frozen Pond”, “In the Air Tonight”,  “Icy Cool”, “Fly Catchin”, “Punkin Pickin”, “Preppy Autumn”, and “A Month At A Time: February, March, May, June, July” for my pages. Sorry for some of the wonky colors, my white balance was off and this was the best I could do!

I had a ton of fun with this project! If you do this, link us up in the comments! We love to see your work.

Til next time, stay inspired!
