EMBELLECE TU ESCRITORIO

Buenos días! Aquí María de nuevo ( https://instagram.com/mariacgbc/ )

Espero que todo el mundo haya recibido su Kit del mes, porque es maravilloso!

Hace unos días se me ocurrió qué podía hacer con uno de los dashboards del kit de agosto (tema maquillaje) porque los colores me encantan y quería tenerlo a la vista. 

I hope everyone has received their monthly kit, because it is wonderful!

A few days ago it occurred to me what I could do with one of the dashboards of August kit (makeup theme) because I love the colors and wanted to have it in sight.

Como la mayor parte del tiempo que paso en casa, lo hago frente al ordenador, me dije, ¡una alfombrilla para el ratón! Y nada más sencillo, con un trozo de corcho , cinta de doble cara, 10 minutos y el dashboard, ya estaba tenía listo. (Edito: Finalmente he tenido que hacerme otra alfombrilla con el sobre del kit de septiembre)

As most of the time I spend at home, I use the computer, I thought, a mouse pad! Nothing more simple, with a piece of cork, double sided tape, 10 minutes and the dashboard, and it was ready!. (Edit: Finally I had to make me another mouse pad with the September box)

Puse la cinta de doble cara en el dashboard, lo coloqué encima del corcho y con unas tijeras fui cortando el sobrante y ya estaba listo! Pensé en plastificarlo, pero me gusta más el brillo que tiene, así que decidí dejarlo así.

I put the double sided tape on the dashboard, placed it over the cork and I cut with scissors surplus and it was done! I thought of laminating, but I like the brightness on the dashboard, so I decided to leave it.

Este mes estoy muy muy ocupada, está siendo una pesadilla! He decidido pintar la casa y tengo todas mis cosas amontonadas por todas partes, literalmente, estoy deseando que acaben para poder volver a colocar todo en su sitio o me voy a volver loca. (Está bien, ya estoy un poco loca…)

Cuando recibí el Kit no me podía creer el buen estado en que venían todas las cosas, y la caja es amor, no es verdad?? Ya tengo muchos planes para ellas, pero son tan bonitas que quiero guardar cada kit en la suya, así que ya veremos!

This month I am very busy, it's been a nightmare! I decided to paint the house and I have all my stuff piled up everywhere, literally, I cannot wait to run out to replace everything or I'll go crazy. (Ok, I’m a Little crazy right now)

When I received the kit I could not believe how wonderful were all the goodies, and the box was lovely. Now I have many plans for them, but they are so beautiful that I want to save each kit in it, so we'll see!

El insert para fauxdori me ha encantado (qué cosa no? Por dios, es todo tan perfecto!) quería probar con rotuladores, acuarelas, lápices, etc… Así que entre pintura y pintura (en casa), me ha dado a mi por pintar también ;)

El papel lo aguanta todo, no se dobla, y por supuesto, no hace sombra por la otra cara, estoy más que encantada.

I am falling in love with the fauxdori insert (who does not? OMG, it's so perfect!) I wanted to try markers, watercolors, pencils, etc ... So between painting and painting (at home), it has given me the idea to paint on the fauxdori insert ;)

The paper is perfect, it does not crease, and of course, no shadow on the other side of the pages, I am more than “happie” with it.

Con los inserts, pegatinas, marca páginas, charm, he decorado mis agendas en el mismo estilo que suelo usar y que es el que más me gusta <3

With inserts, stickers, bookmarks, charm, I have decorated my planners in the same style that I use and that is the one I like more <3

Al calendario – taco de notas le estoy dando muchísimo uso! Para apuntar fechas y  para hacer la cuenta atrás de días que espero con muchas ganas.

The calendar-note pad is so adorable, you can use it for so many things! To use as a event reminder and as a countdown of the days that I am looking forward to...

Y tú, qué has creado con el kit de este mes? Nos encantaría que compartieses tus ideas en el grupo de Facebook  (Happie Scrappie)

Organising the New Home

Hello there! It is Wan back on the blog. Today, I am going to show you how I use August’s fauxdori insert to help keep me organised on recurring home tasks.

I know I have been labouring this point to death, but we have just moved. In the course of decluttering and getting ready for the move, I discovered that I have really let certain things lapsed (like having all sorts of expired food sitting around – totally yucky! – and letting little E’s stuff get totally out of hand – hmmmmm….why is her 2 year old clothes still sitting around in the closet?), so I am determined to be better in our new place. I have been thinking about how I can sort out a system when my August Happiescrappie fauxdori kit arrived, and I figured that the blank insert would be perfect for the job (plus who wouldn’t like being cheered up by all the gorgeous makeup doodles while doing mundane household tasks?). So, shall we get started on how I went about creating my own home organisation insert?

I knew I wanted a title for each page, and 2 columns (one for the date I carry out the task and the other for any notes I might want to make), so I used panda tab stickers from a previous Happie Scrappie kit to mark the title and slim washi tape to make out my columns (as pictured below). 

Then, so that I can have an easy way of identifying tasks recurring at different intervals (monthly, 3 monthly and 6 monthly), I taped a small piece of washi around the edge of the page. 

I used different colours for tasks of different intervals – yellow for monthly, aqua for 3 monthly and pink for 6 monthly), and the picture below shows what it looks like when all the pages have been done. Some pages do not have washi tape on as I left some pages blank in between the different intervals, just in case I have other tasks to add in later. 

As you can see, this makes it easier to find the relevant pages.

To keep things even more coordinated, I also made sure that the colour of the panda tab sticker on any particular page coordinated with the colour of the washi (in fact, that was how I chose the three colours of the washi tape, because the panda tab stickers came in those colours).

Being quite a visual person, such colour coding works particularly well for me.

With the layout of each individual page completed, I then stamped the words “Date” and “Notes” in each of the two columns on all the pages I needed. This is so that I can easily see when the task is last done, and also any notes/reminders for the next time I do the same task (for example, chemical cleaning needed at next air-con servicing). 

After doing that, all there was to do to complete each page was to write in the relevant task on the panda tab sticker.

Once all the pages were done, I wrote an index list of all the tasks, separated by their colour codes, and taped it to the front of the insert (this colour coding system works brilliantly using the stickers that come with the kit because the stickers tend to come in matching colours every month). 

I then used the same dot stickers of the relevant colour to mark the dates that the tasks are to be done in a spare monthly fauxdori insert that I have and I did this for the upcoming six months. 

Now that I have all my recurring tasks scheduled for the next few months, I will be making sure I do not forget about this system by keeping both these inserts together with my daily planner. Seeing that this system will only work if I use it, I plan to refer to the monthly insert at the beginning of every month to check for any upcoming scheduled tasks. 

So there you have it, my own version of a home organisation tool. I hope the post has given you a few ideas to play with and if you do customise your Happie Scrappie fauxdori insert, do tag us on IG or post in our Facebook group, because we would love to have a peek! Have a great day and Happie planning!

Wan
