Printing A5 Pages

Posted in My Scrapbooking Planner on 11/28/2009 10:50 am by Willow Tree Crafts

Most of the PDFs we produce are designed to fit inside our Scrapbook Planners. The planners are A5 sized to make them easy to use. The easiest way to print them out is to use A5 paper, you can just use your trimmer to cut your normal A4 printer paper in half, no special supplies needed.

How to print out A5 PDFs for your planner:

  1. Cut down some A4 paper to A5, or use A5 paper.
  2. Put A5 paper into printer.
  3. Open PDF files in Adobe Reader (I’ve got version 8).
  4. Go to File – Page Setup.
  5. Change Paper Size to A5.
    paper size
  6. Go to File – Print
  7. That’s it!

If you are trying to print something else out that is not A5, when you print,

  1. Select Shrink to Printable Area.
    shrink to fit
  2. Press Print.

You can also select which pages to print, so you can print all your odd numbered pages first, then put your paper back into the printer and print your even sides, they will then fit inside like a book, printed on both sides.

Here’s another sketch for your scrapbooking planners. By popular demand, we’ve also added a full page version into the PDF download, so now you can print it directly onto a diary page, or as a full page sketch for you to file away for a rainy day.

We love seeing what you do with these, so please post in the comments if you have a layout using this sketch, you can post a link to your gallery or blog if you’ve posted it there.sk02

Planner Sketch 01

Posted in My Scrapbooking Planner, Scrapbooking on 01/07/2009 06:38 am by Willow Tree Crafts

OK, so the year is starting to settle down, people are back at work, kids are back at school, and your diary is looking a bit more normal. You’ve got a fab new scrapbooking planner, or a whole new 2009 pack in your planner, and you’ve got these two boxes at the top of every week. What on earth to do with them?

We intentionally left them blank so you can use them for anything, glue/staple a picture from a magazine in there? an inspiring scrapbook layout? a little map of a fab new scrapbook shop you’ve found? a quick little self portrait? a fabulous sketch that’s just popped into your head? the choice is yours.

If, however, you’re a little stuck, grab the download below and print it directly into the space. The PDF we’ve got for you here is sized for A5 paper (the same as your scrapbook planner) and the sketch is in exactly the right place for the little box. We’ve got 4 pages in the PDF so you can print the sketch on the left or right page, and we’ve got an example of a layout using the sketch that is also available on the left and right hand sides.

Simply choose the page you want, pop your planner sheet in your printer and voila, a little scrapbooking inspiration for the week.

Have an organised 2009

Posted in My Scrapbooking Planner, The Shop, The Website on 12/18/2008 07:47 am by Willow Tree Crafts

Our 2009 Planners have been redesigned. We’ve streamlined some of the pages, and created our own diary pages. Each week is split across 2 pages, with appointment times, and space for all those TO DO lists we accumulate. Theres also space at the top for a sketch (Keep an eye in the blog for those), or a place for an idea, print something from the Internet, or cut something out of a magazine.

I’ll be hoping to use this space for a bit of weekly inspiration.

We’ve got 2 great new colours, Lime and Turquoise, so grab one while they are in stock.

Planner Pages

Posted in My Scrapbooking Planner, Scrapbooking on 06/08/2008 09:30 am by Willow Tree Crafts

One of the things I like to keep in my planner are sketches. Some are my own on the included planner pages, but some of my faves are from the PageMaps site by Becky Fleck.

Becky kindly creates pages of sketches every month and has them available as PDF downloads. (there’s also an archive of previous months if you need it). Unfortunately the PDFs are 8.5×11 in size which doesn’t fit nicely into my A5 Planner.

There is a quick and easy solution, if you have a mac. It might work if you use Windows, but I never use PCs so I can’t be sure.

How to print out PageMaps for your planner:

  1. Cut down some A4 paper to A5, or use A5 paper.
  2. Put A5 paper into printer.
  3. Open PDF files in Adobe Reader (I’ve got version 8).
  4. Go to File – Page Setup.
  5. Change Paper Size to A5.
    paper size
  6. Go to File – Print
  7. Select Shrink to Printable Area.
    shrink to fit
  8. Press Print.
  9. Hey Presto – A full sheet of sketches ready for your planner.

Of course this technique can be used for any PDF, not just PageMaps.
