Review: Hapila! Filing Helper Sticker

 A while ago, we reviewed the Kyowa Film Filing Seal which allowed you to turn anything into something that fit in a ring binder. Recently we spotted a similar item by Hapila! and decided to check it out too!

Filing Helper Sticker by Hapila!

There are 10 tabs in each pack. They are made of a transparent plastic that is fairly thick and does not bend easily.

To use, all you have to do is line up the holes on your insert against the guide.

Note: the insert i am using is for a 6 ring binder but there is also a guide for larger inserts for 4 ring binders as well.

Stick the tab according to the guide

And its done! 

You can repeat the process on the bottom half of the insert as well.

Since its made of thick plastic, its a lot more sturdy than the plastic film used by Kyowa. So this is recommended if you have something heavier to attach.

What do you think? Have you tried them out?

Review: DAISO MY NOTE + FILE Clear pocket square

A while ago, we reviewed Hapila! Sheet Seal Collection Refills for organizing one's sticker sheets. [see here] So what about sticker flake packets? Well Daiso has come up with a solution.

DAISO MY NOTE + FILE Clear pocket (square)

Each packet contains 10 sheets. Each with two pockets.

Each sheet measures 12cm by 21.5cm

Each pocket measures 10.5cm by 10.5cm

The pockets are large enough to fit most flakes [and in most cases, even the packaging so you can clearly see what each set has!]

These will fit in any standard A5 6 ring binder; making it easy to file your sticker flakes!

At Daiso's prices, this is an affordable solution to organizing your flake stickers! 

Have you tried them? How do you organize your flake stickers?

Review : レポチケ Report Ticket Note (Ticket storage file + Event journal)

 

If you are like me, you must have tons of used tickets lying around. Be it flight tickets, event tickets, venue tickets or even just movie tickets. I always thought I might put them in a scrapbook someday but it has never happened. But now there is a quick way to store them, jot down memories and the tickets are kept pristine in case you ever want to scrapbook them in the future.

Introducing the レポチケ Report Ticket note.

The book consists of a page with an attached clear pocket and the other side, a dot grid page for you to write your thoughts/experiences in. The paper is very smooth and nice to write on.

It is also available with different color binder rings to match the colors of your favorite groups, clubs or members. 

The cover is clear hard plastic. So you can decorate the first page as you please as well.

Overall Thoughts : A very useful way to store precious memorabilia. Not only can you store your tickets, you can also slot in any other receipts or cards from the day as well. I also like the dot grid page making it very easy to write in it tidily. 

Have you tried anything like this? What do you think?

Organizing Greeting Cards

Have you ever found the perfect card a little too early and wondered if you ought to buy it? Or perhaps you end up misplacing it in the drawer (you know the one, we all have it) instead?

Well I decided to come up with a way to organize them!

The file I am using is from CAINZ HOMES and has 12 pockets [1 for each month of the year]. Its a very popular item made by them. 

There is also an A5 version and an A4 version.

Its useful for sorting monthly bills or savings.

To take note of the monthly birthdays and events which I might need cards for, I have also included monthly calendar pages in each month's pocket.

Now whenever i find the right card, I can purchase it ahead of time and file it in this case!

Last but not least, I added a label indicating what the folder is for. (That is because I have quite a few of these folders for other purposes! They are really useful.)

Have you bought any of these folders before?

What do you use yours for?
