Make a New Plan Stan: Handmade Planner Accessories

Planners have busted on to the craft scene with fun little products to make your planner pretty. But I'm not buying it. I'm making it. It's the "Anti-Plan." And it starts with a to-do list in a pocket.
Years ago, I faithfully kept a planner. Orthodontist appointments never conflicted with Soccer games or Cheer practice because I kept my family on track. Now, however, my life is different. It's more relaxed and I love that. I'm not planning my life, I'm living it. But the the cute papers and pens are trying to suck me in, so I'm fighting back by making cute things of my own.

Let's make a plan. Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp. We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

FYI...my husband is trying to talk me into letting him have the list stamp for work. How cute is that?

    This is the most artistic to-do list that I've ever seen. That stamp really has all sorts of possibilities, so I can see why your husband would want it. Blessings!

    This has got to be another favorite for me! You have this amazing talent for making ordinary things really pack a punch. Here we have a to-do list (normally a yawner item in everyday life), yet it is totally something I could picture seeing in a modern museum's art display! Who, I ask WHO, in the world could make a to-do list into a piece of art?? This is like Warhol meets Martha Stewart or something. LOVE!!!

    This is so pretty Michelle!! Lovely colours and a beautiful to-do list. If my to-do-lists looked so pretty, I might actually remember to look at them!!
