Creating Gifts with Nature Sketchbook

Afternoon everyone 
I can't believe it's more than a week since I posted.  I was so busy prepping for a Christmas event this past weekend I lost all track of what day it was, and only just managed to focus on one thing at a time........  All worth it as we had a great time at Kings Hill Nursery amongst the Christmas Trees, wreaths, Poinsettias and cyclamens.  thank you to everyone who came along to the event, called by the stalls and took part in the Make and Takes.  Here are the two youngest crafters I think I've ever taught.  They were great and thoroughly enjoyed themselves making their very own mini photo books. Huge thanks Sophie for all your help on the stall.  I couldn't have managed without you xx

I'm really excited to be featuring my Hostess Gift over on the Graphic 45 blog today. If you're like me these days and need to make a note of absolutely everything you need to do if it's going to stand a chance of getting done then this project/gift may be right up your street.  G45 design team members and Ambassadors were asked to come up with a Hostess Gift idea to share with G45er's over the past couple of months and once I'd made my planner I thought it fitted the brief perfectly.  I used the signature sheet from the Nature Sketchbook collection for the focal image on the front cover, two more 12 x 12 papers for the outside and then 12 x 12 patterns and solids for the inside.  The planner includes a things to do pad, shopping list, post it note holder with notes and a pen........  it's got it all...... lol!!!!   Now I've got no excuse to forget anything lol!!!!   Let's see how that goes.............! 

I have finished planners for sale if you're looking for a Christmas gift and a planner kit with instructions if you fancy making one for yourself or to give as a gift. Links to both are below along with a full supply list and few more pics: Do go over to the Graphic 45 blog and take a look at the other projects being shared today too.
