Filofax Page Storage | Distress Ink | Centura Pearl

I like to keep organised with the help of Filofax Planners! However, never had a satisfactory solution for the spare inserts that I had printed, ready to use.
           
Hence, the insert storage file!

The process was long, but so so enjoyable. I'll definitely pick up clay again for another project.  I took a few "during" photos for those interested.
