Birthdays/ Anniversaries Inserts

After my successful ingredients list for my Filofax, I decided to try and make a birthdays/ anniversaries insert.

In my pocket Filofax I had a really nice insert

Birthday's insert for the pocket Filofax

Now I searched high and low in Staples and WHSmith for this insert for the personal Filofax and I couldn't find it. I did search on the Filofax website and it was available there but then I thought I did OK with the insert for my ingredients so how about making my own, I know what I want it to contain, and what I want to add to to it.

I did have some mishaps with the insert (my printer didn't want to play ball with the paper and started to spit it out), but I persevered with it and managed to get what I was aiming for (see below)

As you can see the insert is some what identical but I have moved things and there are more rows (which I thought I had screwed up with and thought I wouldn't be able to write in the spaces), I added an image into my insert to jazz it up a bit (am tempted to customise some more by adding ribbon down the side, or some balloon stickers at the bottom of the page). I also decided to print on a pastel blue paper, I thought this would not brighten it up but make it look a bit better.

I did manage to write in the spaces and because the paper is such a thick GSM the ink doesn't leak through (which is fantastic).

Thanks for tuning in

First foray into Filofax template making

I decided to have a go at making my own insert for my Filofax. I decided on an ingredient list as me and my partner are always cooking or baking something and with Easter coming up its always a good thing to have to jot down the ingredients that you might need.

Thanks to Philiofaxy for the advice sheet on how to print pages for the personal Filofax they helped immensely.

As you can see I had some mishaps with printing and was close to giving up with the whole thing

My first 3 mistakes (Doh!)

So when I'd nearly given up with the whole thing I had a eureka moment and managed to print it of and make it double sided.

The finished template



This should come in handy when I'm needing to go shopping for ingredients.

Thanks for tuning in.
