Growing in Unity Day 4!! Altered 2 yr. Planner!

Howdy all and Happy Thursday and HIP HOP today!! Don't forget about Hip Hop today in the Unity forum at SCS! Loads of fun to be had by everybody!! Lots of giveaways and good specials I am sure!!

Unity Forum at SCS!


Wow, the week is almost over, it sure flew by! For today's creation, it's not a card this time. I decided to alter one of those 2 year planners. Hobby Lobby had a bunch on clearance the other day for .43 cents...so I grabbed up a few to alter! We are only one month into the year and its good for two years! LOL! Here is one I have finished:



It was super easy to do. I just carefully removed the photo they had for the outer cover, then cut my cardstock to fit (which for this was 7 1/8 by 6 1/2). Then just decorated it, leaving it mostly flat so as not to poke through the plastic or take up too much room. To reattach the planner, I used terrifically tacky red tape, ran a line of it down the middle and just attached it. I just love how this turned out! And I had the hardest time getting a good photo of it too, the light kept reflecting off the plastic and you couldnt see the scoring I added and you STILL cant see how I added a bit of spica glitter pen around the sun and beams, lol, but its there! I think you can buy just the plastic covers too in some places, they call them check book covers at my local LSS...but who carries checks anymore? LOL!

Ok, thats all for today, and see ya during HIP HOP at SCS! I'll be popping in and out, have grandson tomorrow! Thanks so much for stopping by and I have so been enjoying your awesome comments, makes my day!
