November 2011 Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the November 2011 Pals Blog Hop!  

This month, we're featuring Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah inspired cards & projects!  Enjoy the hop and the amazing creations that the Pals have come up with.

You've likely hopped over from seeing great work by Angie Blake (Angie's Musings).  I'm stop #19 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in!

I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah paper projects from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up at the end of this post and you'll be back on track!

For my contribution to the hop, I created a Christmas Countdown planner using My Digital Studio. I found this fantastic website called Organized Christmas, where I found some downloadable (and printable) pocket planner forms.  Please note:  December's calendar has two 29's on it, but I can easily overlook that.  :) 

Using the planner forms, I created jpeg images and uploaded them into My Digital Studio to create an 8 1/2" x 11" landscape planner.  I've always signed my Christmas cards from Kris Kringle during the holidays, so my planner gets the same treatment.  

• My cover page was created using the Letters to Santa Embellishments Kit, Item #125835, $3.95.  Add to Shopping Bag
• The last page of my planner uses one of the designer papers the Write Stuff II Digital Kit, Item #120881, $9.95.  Add to Shopping Bag
• It also uses an image from the Merry & Type brush set, item #123139, $3.95.  Add to Shopping Bag
