Tips For Organizing Your Free Time So You Get More Out Of It

-
When it comes to how people will use their free time, many have no plan or strategy in place, and because of this, many people even feel that they have no free time at all; however, the honest truth is that most people have a lot more free time than they realize, and the reason they fail to realize this is because they do not organize their free time in such a way that they will be able to get the most out of it.

In order to get the most out of your free time, the first thing you will need to do is separate your free time into the time you have for yourself and the time you have for others; by doing this, you will create two distinct categories for your free time, and these parameters will help you to employ your free time in a more effective manner.

Once you have split your free time into these two distinct categories, you will want to make sure you are optimizing your "you" time by doing things that you truly enjoy; rather than simply sitting around and clicking through the channels on television or aimlessly browsing the web, find something that you derive pleasure from doing, and make an effort to engage in this activity during your free time.

And when it comes to the free time you have for others, you should do what you can to make the most of these opportunities; many people get in the habit of simply "hanging out" and doing nothing at all with their friends and family, but while this is nice to do at times, the things you will remember most will be the memories you make together.

When you start taking this approach with your free time - organizing it in terms of "you" time and "others" time, using your "you" time with something you enjoy, and making memories with others instead of just "hanging out" - you will soon find that you are more fulfilled in your free time, and that it will feel like you have a lot more free time to use as well!

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-

Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
