How about this beautiful entry in the creative Christmas planner category? Created by Sue at the C&T Publishing Blog, it's a fabulous example of creativity at work.

Sue's combined multiple products and crafting methods to create this lovely holiday organizer. Custom-sized pages, sewn construction and die-cut letters make this planner useful; an integrated small binder insert holds receipt envelopes firmly.

Sue's use of durable cover materials such as cloth and twill tape means this binder will hold up to use much better than a paper-based Christmas planner.

Finally, a notable innovation: at season's end, Sue plans to turn this binder into a holiday memory book. She'll swap out organizing pages and replace them with Christmsa photos and journaling. What a great idea!
