Anyone that knows me knows that I am VERY organised when it comes to gift and card giving. This was made easier a few years ago when a friend brought me a 'card organiser' on a trip to America..it got me to thinking how much easier life would be for me if I made my cards (in one sitting) for an entire month and then filed them in my organiser.
Fast forward a few years and I made one for my good friend Jane for her Birthday, she loved it so I am making a few more to give to some of my crafty friends.....it would also work for th 'not so crafty' who can simply purchase rather than make cards and keep them ready in the folders!
Grab a A5 concertina folder with tabbed sections (I was lucky enought to find one with months), then simply decorate with paper and lace and other treasures (I have used some of my recent op shop finds, newly dyed for the occassion).
I just covered up the writing that was on the tabs that I didn't want. Finally I made a sheet for each month that you can add Birthday details to...and voilla..an organised card file.
You will NEVER miss another Birthday again!
omgoodness this is great, i totally need to do this. i am awful at being organised!

Hi Lea, its soooo good, I usually sit down and make cards a month in
advance, sometime more and pop them in the envelope ready to go just with
their birthday dates written (where the tamp will hide it) then simply
file them...its the best feeling in the world when you have a look and
there is the card ready to simply stamp and post! Give it a go, you wont
be disapointed!!!
