My internet is known to be somewhat fickle. (Thank you country living) So when it does decide to cooperate I try to prepare a bunch of digital items to print at a time. Whether you have awesome internet or not, printing a bunch of items at once saves time and paper.
Today I wanted to get a few things ready that I could use in my travelers notebook. One thing I enjoy using in my notebook is patterned paper… especially for full page spreads. By cropping a patterned paper pattern to 4.25×8.25 it is the perfect size for my notebook and ready to go. You could certainly just print a full pattern but I like the idea of not wasting my ink. And this way I can get two patterns on a page.
Another thing I enjoy doing is printing out a bunch of the word elements and using them like die-cuts. Here I printed out a bunch of digital stamps from Week at a Glance and fit them all on a page. I also cropped off the square around the “reminder” element and placed it on a 3×4 box so that I had some journaling cards as well.
By printing off a bunch of items at a time I am ready for a crafty afternoon (if and when that comes around).
