Hello for the second time today!
Recently I've been using Paperchase's own version of the Filofax dividers, which are unlabelled and in pretty colours. But I wanted something more fun and personal. I've been buying some pretty card to make my own dividers, but it's all plain because I haven't been able to find any flowery card. So I when I went to town and still couldn't find some perfect card, I had an idea: postcards! No, not 'Wish you were here' types, but pretty fashionable ones! I found some really pretty ones in Clinton Cards, which were 50p each, so I bought 5 different types. They are typical postcard size, which is wide enough to be a filofax personal-sized divider, but not tall enough. However, I wasn't bothered about this, they still do their job and look lovely!
Here are some pictures of my new dividers!
This is my favourite postcard so I put it at the front! Behind it is 1 sheet of notepaper for quick notes and my rotas/timetables and diary :)
My to-do/project section divider. "Keep calm" when you see how much you have to do behind it; "carry on" should actually say "get on with it!!"
My 'me/fun' section, with fun stuff like stuff about my blog, books I want to read etc behind it. I like this card because not only is it beautiful, it reminds me that in the midst of all my crazy uni-filled days, sometimes I have to stop and smell the roses (or blossom) :)
My 'ongoing/lists/finance' section divider; no reason I have this one here, it's just pretty :) Shoooess!!! lovely!!
My reference section :) But I suppose that if I ever have a hobbies/crafts section, I could use this divider for that, because it is a nice patchwork Union Flag :)
All I did to make them was punch them with my new Rapesco punch (which I will review soon) and cut a part of the right-hand side out, leaving only the tab remaining. Easy!
There very pertty, i love the keep calm carry on and the pretty union jack :-) I cant wait to make some really pretty ones hehe :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my i just closed the tab and thought i lost my comment by accident!!! then i looked and there it was PHEW!!!!
those are really cute! I will have to start looking for prospective divider materials when I'm out running errands.
ReplyDeleteNice! I want to jazz up my dividers as well. I do have some postcards, but I'm using them for a different Filo project. Maybe I can get some others to use as dividers. I will keep you posted!
ReplyDeleteHi! I've recently discovered Philofaxy, and from there I got to your blog! There are so many great ideas on both blogs, I think I will only leave my computer by September!
ReplyDeleteCOngrats on those amazing dividers.
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI have a pocket filofax, looking on the paperchase website now.
Does the mini organiser refils range fit in a pocket one? As there range is so much better!
Thank you!
Hi Becky! Yes they do! I love Paperchase :D
