Jessica Marie Design Blog: Preppy Printable Binder Covers With winter break behind most of us (at least for those of us who were lucky enough to have one!) it's time for us to go back to school, return to work, or follow through with our organization plans for 2013. For me it's organizing. I have various projects that I am working on, specifically for my 25 before 25 goals, and I want to keep them all in one place. I bought a plain white binder with clear sleeves and knew I wanted to create something fun and colorful to decorate it. Of course I opted for a Lilly Pulitzer print and my monogram! Now you are probably wondering how this could be of any use to you and no it's not another tutorial of how you can make your own, instead I decided to make them completely customizable and all you have to do is download them and change the monogram to your own.
