Planner and Journal Charms

Hi there

So during my breaks from school work I have been playing with some jewellery bits and pieces.

These have been made with the idea in mind that they can be worn as a piece of jewellery or as a journal/planner charm. Realistically they can be used for what ever purpose you saw fit for, hang it on your handbag or use on a key chain.

These are available on my etsy store for purchase. 

Lets Talk About .... Midoris!

Hello Hello and welcome. Please sit and sip away at your hot beverage and let me INSPIRE you with projects and ideas!

Last year I got into the Midori Traveler's Notebooks. They have been around for ages, I have just been oblivious. Midori is a brand name for a planner system from Japan, but like many things people have worked out how to make their own. The original Midori is very easy to construct which is what I did after buying a LARGE piece of leather.

Making the booklets or inserts was rather simple too. The best part being that it is all very customisable for your personal needs and requirements. 

Then I found that people liked my book kits which needed to be resized to fit the dimensions of the traveler's notebook. So I bring you the next step in PRETTY Planners!



The book kits will be resized to be able to be printed off on A4 paper and turned into inserts. This one is available on the webstore for purchase and I will be making a few from time to time.

The Digital Pack is also available for download, without the ephemera. However the ephemera can be purchased separately as a download.

Midori Fauxdori Insert assembly.

Midori Traveler Notebook enthusiasts I thought I would show you all how I go about making inserts/booklets for my Travelers Notebook size Midori.

So these are the 12x12 size digital papers of my collections that have been printed on A4 size paper. The cover was printed on 200gsm paper stock and the rest of the booklet is printed on 80gsm on both sizes.

Here is the Cafe Au Lait collection Booklet/insert

Here it is in the Fauxdori I have available in my webstore.

This is the same format but done using the Forgotten Meadows collection which comes up really pretty.

 

Here it is in the Fauxdori I have available in my webstore.

Both inserts added to the Fauxdori using the expansion band that comes with the single string fauxdori.

Now to see how I put the booklets together. 

This is my Midori...

This is My Midori, there are many other like it, but this in MY Midori.

This is my #midori. There are many others like it, but this is my midori. #fauxmidoir #fauxdori #midoritravelersnotebook

I made myself a midori/fauxdori a while ago now and have been creating my own booklets/inserts. I am a big fan of Patrick Ng's Chronodex which makes a lot of scenes using as my planners for daily tasks. I ended up downloading and creating a Chronodex booklet using Patrick's planner printable which is created to fit the Midori Traveler's Notebook. After printing and prepping the booklet for folding and sewing I realised it is the same size as my digital papers when printed on A4 papers.

So of course I made a booklet out of my papers.
