These are the materials that I used to create my own book. For a detailed list of what you will need to create your own book, the list is included in the link above. I purchased my notebook from Wal-mart for only .99 cents! I liked the cover so much that I only added a little embellishment to it. I used SEI products from the "Winnie Walls" collection and the alpha stickers are made by American Crafts from their "Hickory" collection. The SEI collection that I used for the paper has file folder stickers so I opted to use these instead of making my own with ribbon per the instructions.

I created 9 sections for my Spark Book, each section has a cover page decorated and labeled accordingly. This is just the close-up of one of the 9 sections.
The 9 sections that
I have in my Spark Book are:
- Daily Inspiration: a place to record daily goals, include ticket stubs, pictures, color chips, anything that inspires me.
- Books To Read: Section to record the books I intend to read over the course of 2008
- Health and Wellness: Record food journal, weight goals,etc..
- Personal Stuff
- Family Goals: Activities, projects and goals to be completed as a family for 2008
- Home: Projects, organization, home decor we'd like to accomplish in 2008
- Cooking/Entertainment: Recipes and dinner part ideas I want to remember
- Travel/R&R: Places I'd like to visit or do in the next 12 months.
- Projects to complete in the next 12 months such as creating our 72 hr kits.
This is definatly a different kind of planner, I personally am excited to use it.
