What better way to plan out your year than a handmade project that is not only inexpensive, but also tailored to your favorite colors or themes?! Our first MOPS craft this year was a fun one that is extremely practical. God desires for us to be good stewards of the time that he gives us. Staying organized helps us to do just that!
For those of you who have been following my blog for a while you know that one of joys is sharing crafting ideas with the MOPS group that meets at our church (New Hope Baptist Church). This month our theme was time management and in keeping with that we made planners using brag books that can be bought at your local Wal-Mart for $1. This was great fun and I hope that you will find it useful. Remember that you don't have to do it just as I have it here. Get creative and share your ideas too!
This is inside the first cover and the sizes of the papers along with the instructions can be found on the template that will be posted at the bottom of this entry. :) This is a great gift idea for family and friends.
The tabs here add so much convenience and also helps to make this so much cuter from the outside. Who doesn't love cute??? :) The other nice thing is that your pages won't get dirty or torn because they are inside the protectors!
These pages are inserted in the center of the book with simple ribbon. This is a great way to give you some note paper in your planner. Any type of paper can be used for this!
The tabs are staggered for convenience!
There is room for two full 4x6 pictures in the back of the book! :)
This is inside the back cover. More room for pics. You can do this with mats or not... Up to you!!!
Finally, the back of the book. I used coordinating paper for my back. This could also be a picture or a mini scrapbook style page. Totally up to you!
Follow this link for the images of the planner. All you will have to do in this format is print them on the index cards and choose "fit to paper" option when printing! :) Have fun!!!

Too cute, I love it! And you know I'm a girl of organization!
What a great idea.
So far, I can only see the first couple of pages. My computer is giving me a fit. So far, what I see is really cute.
Tomorrow morning we leave on our bus trip. I hope Haali has a wonderful birthday and hope her package gets there on time.
Love you, Gramma
