My ToDo list

Starting my to do list today. I've already filled 2 pages just with my scrapbooking to do list. Next is the house jobs to do (this one will probably really short as housework isn't always a priority) and future plans for the house. I also need to make a list of birthdays that are coming up so i can make a list of cards to make as I want to make everyone a birthday card this year.

Now that i'm starting to feel organised i'm looking forward to getting some of my scrapbooking kits finished off. I've got a mini book from our holiday to Devon Cliffs, a few layouts from crops I've been to and some presents to sort out for birthdays.

Home Organisation finally finished

I managed to finished my home organisation mini books tonight. Have I said how much I love the House of 3 stuff?7



The books I finished tonight were the ToDo book and the home organisation booklet. The To Do book was really easy to make; I resized the black and white image so I could fit 3 onto 1 sheet of A4 and then printed out about 10 copies, trimmed them down and bound them with the bind-it-all.





The home organisation book was just as easy to create. I used most of the other colour pages (e.g. Renew, Refocus, Reorganise, It's Time and Restyle) and printed them out A5 size. For the cover I used the image with the large 2011 and used the Ready image as the back cover.




I also added some of the freebies from the last two web shows just to jazz up the pages and and detail to some plain white sheets.

Off now to watch the end of the Britney Spears Glee episode as it was finally broadcast in Wales tonight. Yippee!

Home Organisation - How I made my own Food Planner

Finished my first mini-book from the REmarkable 2011 kit at the House of 3.  It's a food planner for me to plan weekly menus and also keep a shopping list on the same page:




The kit gives the page in blue and black and white with a  menu planner on the left hand side of page and a space for you shopping list on the other side. Such a brilliant idea, I love it.  I printed out the colour one for the cover and then the inside pages I printed the back and white ones.

Love the fact that I have a perforator so I went down every page with it so I could easily tear off the shopping lists.




Want to make your own?
This book was really easy to do.  To make your own all you need is this kit from the House of 3, some white paper, chipboard, a perforator and a Bind-it-All (or book rings/ribbon/twine).

1. To start off with I resized the black and white image from the kit to fit A5 so I could print 2 pages per sheet of A4 but you can make you book any size. I then printed 26 sheets (so I had 52 pages for my book) and cut them in half.
2. I then resized the colour version to A5 and printed the colour version onto another sheet of A4 paper and cut this in half.
3. Then, with a craft mat underneath I used my perforator and went down the dividing line on each page.  As I did it free hand all the lines are squint and uneven but that doesn't matter as it adds character to the book.
4. Next, you need to cut a piece of chipboard to A5 
5. Now you have everything together you need to cut holes in every sheet either using a Bind-it-All or a hole punch like the Crop-o-dile.
6. Finally bing them all together using your own way, I used my Bind -it all.

REnew Home Organisation

I have loved the House of 3 products for a long time and this morning I watched their live Wednesday night show this morning (don't watch it live as it is broadcast at 2am and I'm fast asleep in bed). Loved their home organisation stuff last year and this year's is even better. After regretting not buying last year's
Simply Amazing Kit I jumped at buying this year's digit kit - the REmarkable 2010.

The kit has loads in it coloured 8by6 , the same pix in black and White, all the words as individual images and Photoshop brushes so you can do your own thing. I'm planning to make a Food Planner, To Do list book and Organiser Mini-Book.
