Happy, happy New Year G45ers! It's New Year's Eve and we wanted to help you usher in the New Year with a gorgeous card by the amazing Aneta Matuszewska! We love her layers and her snowy look to this gorgeous card. What a great way to end 2016! Let's take a look at this stunning snowy creation:
"Quick and easy New Years card with a hint of frost and snow, perfect for a New Years Eve." ~Aneta
This was just fabulous. We hope you have a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve and we are hoping for a fabulous 2017! Many blessings for the New Year! We are so grateful for our G45ers and can't wait to celebrate another year with you.
The best part of a perpetual planner is the years of use you can get out of it! Einat Kessler really shows us how to make a genius planner using our Mixed Media Album! Let's see this awesome planner:
"In these busy days we all need a planner. Somewhere to write all the things we need to do. We also need somewhere to write all the important dates like birthdays, anniversaries etc. I thought why not combine the two?! First I created a divider page for each month of the year. Then I created a calendar page for all those important days. These are the pages you can leave in the planner for years to come. After all the birthday date doesn’t change! The best thing about using the Mixed Media Album is that you can add as many pages as you want! So I printed a monthly planner page to add for each month. This is where I’ll write all those things I need to do like go to the dentist or meet with a friend. When the year will be over I’ll throw these pages away and create new printable pages to insert." ~Einat
Tip: By arranging the same elements differently on the page each design looks completely different!

We think it is indeed a good day to have a good day! Kathy Clement makes it even better with this awesome 2017 planner! Let's take a look:
"I am a list girl. My motto is “if it isn’t written down, it isn’t going to happen.” My creativity is definitely linked to how organized I am. If my brain (or my home/studio) is cluttered, my mojo takes a hike. That’s why I designed this 2017 “It’s a Good Day to Have a Good Day” planner to be my “list central”. There is room inside for daily to do lists, a monthly calendar, design team deadlines, shopping lists, creative ideas, receipts, menu planning and more.
I used bits and pieces of older Graphic 45 collections along with the newly released A Place in Time Deluxe Collector’s Edition to design a planner that is filled with inspiring images and colors. With this planner by my side, 2017 is shaping up to be a year filled with order and creativity. Hooray!" ~Kathy
Tip: I included folios in my design so I can add photos of events, or keep a photographic record of my favorite projects throughout the year.
Tip:Custom paper clips or binder clips are all the rage. While they are adorable, they are also expensive. Why not create your own custom embellies using simple supplies like paper clips, chipboard, postage stamp images or novelty buttons? I have a short YouTube video to show you how easy it is to make your own. These also look fabulous on cards and in scrapbook layouts.
Tip:The internet is loaded with free printable calendars and to do lists. Use these to create a simple organization system within your planner. I found the cute ones I used in my planner at Botanical Paperworks.
Tip:When 2019 rolls around, I can just print new calendars and lists and I’ll be ready to roll!

We are loving our Design Team's wonderful albums for 2016 and 2017! Today, Pam Bray shares a brilliant Keepsake Album for 2017 using various collections and lots of beauty! She even has a tutorial below. Let's take a look:
“I enjoy creating an album that I call my Year in Review. It helps me to pick some of my favorite photos each month of our adventures throughout the year. I can easily place the photos, journal entries and other small items in the album for our family and friends to look through at the end of each year. This year I am using a mix of Graphic 45 Place in Time and Children’s Hour to create my 2017 Year in Review Album. I think that both collections flow nicely together and will be a wonderful keepsake for 2017.” ~Pam
