Make your own 2021 Planner - A Tutorial!

[@debbiewilson4443]

You have inspired me to do this for 2022. I will be watching your Etsy page for the calendar !

[@MelissasMemoryJournals]

Love this! Hoping you will update planner pages to 2022.

[@dvcrztb]

I got your Calendars for 2022. Thank you.

OMG!!! Your planner is amazing!! I love it!! The Woodland Friends collection looks really cute as planner pages!! Dang!! I want to copy yours!! Lol!! 😁💕💕

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks my sweet “sister”, you are too kind. 😘

I absolutely love this planner. I had been searching ETSY up and down and just couldn’t find the right layout. THANK YOU! I even got my daughter and three granddaughters interested..ages 9, 13 and 16. They spent Sunday morning searching through my papers..All but one settled on G45 Collectors Packs. I printed off your planner sheets, they went home and cut and assembled their own journal pages! I spent yesterday making their monthly tabs....just waiting on USPS to deliver the papers. Kind of a Question: I certainly hope you go to the effort to make the journal pages for 2022. I would love to make for Christmas gifts. Thank you in advance...and for your creativity.

Wow, thank you so much Sherry for this comment and nice message. I'm delighted you and your girls enjoyed this time together. That makes me simply giddy! I will absolutely continue making planner pages in the future and I promise it will be November rather than January like this year. Thanks again so much!

You have inspired me! So, So beautiful. Thank you!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you so much. That makes me so happy. I hope you give it a try.

This planner is so pretty!

[@paulahaynes6131]

Those papers are so pretty! I was able to order what I needed so I am happy.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Wonderful! I hope you enjoy making yours as much as I did mine. Thanks!

[@claudialowe2727]

Love this planner! My goal will be to acquire these dies for next year’s planner. Lol. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Claudia. It’s a lot of dies for sure, so it takes time. But also know that you can buy just the simple page die and add your own tabs to simulate the tab page dies. Either way, you will certainly enjoy the process. Thanks for watching!

[@louisetheriault565]

Hi Annette, love your videos ♥️, I am starting to have many planner dies from ECD and wondering which type of plastic enveloppes you used to store them. Are they Sizzix one? Thank you so much.

[@AnnetteGreen]

I get this question a lot, and it's a good question. Check out my suggested products lists on my Amazon page at this link: www.amazon.com/shop/annettegreen

[@Grandmabrown36]

I’m doing the same as someone else mentioned. But some of the planner dies say could not be found. Does that mean they are discontinued? I’m surprised being for the planners! Or will Els be getting more of them in?

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Gail. Thanks for watching. I don't think they'll discontinue planner dies, they're probably just out of stock temporarily. If you need a more reliable answer you can always contact Elizabeth Craft Designs directly at [e-mail]

[@annarakoce8063]

Wondering how you attached the pages to the planner pages without leaving glue lines? What adhesive did you use? Thank you!

[@AnnetteGreen]

I used tape runner adhesive when attaching those. Liquid glue would certainly have shown through. Great question! (and yes, I use LOTS of tape runner so the edges are all sealed up)

[@annarakoce8063]

@@AnnetteGreen Thank you so much! You are always so helpful!! I REALLY appreciate it!

[@poupard1000]

I loved the way you did this tutorial, Annette! I love your organization. Are you REALLY that neat when you make these things?? lol UPDATE: I just sat down to start and realized I had G45 Patterns and Solids and a partial pad of STAMPERIA Forest instead of G45's paper!! AAaaarrrggghhh!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Robin. Maybe those two could work together perhaps? As for my neatness (literally laughing out loud) absolutely not! When I’m in the zone, my room is a mess! Dies are everywhere, papers are all over the floor, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I am, however, an organized person and get everything neat and tidy when making a video.

[@margaretreiling3635]

Love this planner idea!

[@elizabethallan7610]

Love your planner pages. I was expecting a photo page to end off December.

[@AnnetteGreen]

? In addition to the December page with the photo mat?

[@ArtyAntics]

This is beautiful but I roughly added up the cost of the dies to make it, $250+ to make a planner is way out of my price range. I’d have to make and sell a lot of planners to justify that cost! I spent about $40 on mine, most of which was a disc bound punch and it will last me for years. Plus I use it for filing my artwork, notes etc so it stretches my supplies.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you for your comment. As with many hobbies, cost is involved. Fans of Elizabeth Craft Designs are building their supplies slowly and buying what they need as they go. So most of my viewers already own many of these dies. For me and many others like me, it’s more about the process and the joy we get from creating. I consider my datebook/planner as a memory keeper of the year. Something I will keep forever, like a scrapbook. I wouldn’t dream of selling it after putting all the love, time and effort into creating it. It’s solely for me. So you do you, and I’ll do me. Thanks again.

[@platinumdiva75]

This is AWESOME! 🤩🤩🤩

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you so much!

[@paulahaynes6131]

So nice but mist of the die cuts are sold out.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Oh no! Really? Have you checked your local scrapbook store? Or an online store other than ECD?
