As promised I have something special for you today. This week is Preview Week for the New Catalog Edition over at Create with Connie and Mary and my preview project... a life organizer made using lots of fabulous products from the new catalog. Every time I go to buy an organizer it doesn't have all the nifty features I would like for it to have. So I decided to make my own with everything I thought should be in there using the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set. It has all sorts of dividers, pockets (even a secret pocket) and pages. The pages were all made by me as well (except the small yearly calendars). There are pages for just about everything from weekly menus to an address book. The best part is you can just print the pages as you need them.
To download the FREE Life Organized Tutorial and Pages head on over to Create with Connie and Mary. This week the lovely ladies are also offering their Early Bird Special...$24.95 (only through June 16). That's five weeks or 30 projects for less than $1.00 a project. You DO NOT want to miss out on this! The last two editions I have been part of have had the coolest projects. They are exclusive projects so you won't see them anywhere else. If you're a Stampin' Up Demonstrator these projects are fantastic to use in classes or workshops. If you just love stamping, these projects make great gifts and are fun to make just for yourself.
So if this isn't enough already...I'm also offering some Blog Candy today!! Just leave me a comment on this post to be entered into a drawing for a free subscription to the New Catalog Edition. Don't worry if you sign up and win the subscription, you can apply the credit to the next subscription or have a refund.
I hope you will hop on over to Create with Connie and Mary right now download the free tutorial and sign up for this edition. Have fun making your own organizer and have a fabulous Monday! Take care.
Supplies: listed over at Create with Connie and Mary.

Carrie....thank you for the inspiration and motivation....to make something for MYSELF! I always put myself on the back burner due to so many other projects that I move to the top of my priority list. Love the organizer!
I love this project! Thanks for sharing your creativity and thanks for the opportunity to win a subscription! That would be awesome!
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing all the details, I may use this idea and make one for the "100 in 100" challenge at Splitcoast. Of course, I will have to use all my old SU stuff, since that is the main focus of the challenge!!
Your planner is fabulous! Can't wait to see more!
Carrie,
Thanks for sharing your amazing project. I love it when creativity is combined with practicality! Way to go!!
So Cute! I could really use some organization in my life. You should see my craft room! Thanks for sharing your great project.
You have inspired me this morning with this project. I absolutely love it and will be making it soon! Thanks for all the printables to go with it. I am looking forward to seeing more of your projects during this series with Create with Connie & Mary. Thanks!!!
I love your organizer, and can hardly wait to make one for myself.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing - it's great inspiration!
Fantastic ideas! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great project Carrie. What is also neat about it is you can adapt it to your own needs. Thanks so much for the tutorial
Wow this is amazing. Thanks for the great idea. Mary
This is fabulous! It really would make a wonderful gift, but after all that work, I might want to keep it for myself! Great Job Carrie!
Very nice, Carrie. I love to make albums like this one, and you have some great ideas. Thank you!
This is an awesome project, Carrie. I love that you can customize it, too. You are right about other organizers...they just don't have everything you need & have many things you don't.
Thanks for sharing this idea and the chance to win a free subscription!

Carrie - You hit it out of the park!! Lovely to look at, and even better for daily living. Something about a Life Organizer connotes a "new beginning!" When I went through the PDF I was holding my breath to see if you put 2013 calendars in as well, (not putting it in is a mistake I've seen by others). You were orgnaized!!! Awesome.
Love receiving your posts. I get so many great ideas. Keep up the fantastic work
What a great organizer! Can't wait to make one for myself and my sister's. They will love it.
What a great project! I don't have everything to make it yet or I would start on it today,! A great idea for birthday and Christmas for my sisters and close friends as well as myself. Thanks so much!
Oh my gosh...this is beautiful!!

This looks like fun, I would love a chance to win.

I feel the same way about not getting what you really want in a journal when you purchase in the store. Can't wait to do this project!
