Storage Solutions: Finished Cards

Just a super-quick post tonight.

I don't know if you're like me --

always in search of a better way to organize your craft space

to make room for new goodies. ;o)

I was recently asked about how I store my finished cards,

so I thought I'd share a photo.

This is the bookcase in my office.

On the middle shelf there, I have three CD boxes.

I picked them up at Walmart for $6 each.

They're from Mainstays, I believe,

and they come in a couple colors.

I picked them up one at a time,

so the cost wasn't much all at once.

They're the perfect size for cards.

I store folded cardstock in one

(Since a sheet of cardstock makes two cards,

I always fold the second one and save it for later use.),

envelopes in another,

and finished cards in the third.

Just one is enough for the finished cards I have right now.

I try to force myself to actually send them out,

rather than hoard them as I'd like to.

I keep reminding myself that the reason I make cards

is to brighten other people's day.

There's no day-brightening going on

if I keep them all to myself. ;o)

I like to look at pretty things.

That's why the top shelf (not shown)

is dedicated to showcasing my most recent projects.

That way I can look at them for a week or so

before sending them out

or relagating them to the box for later use.

Anyway, I hope that tip helped!

Nighty-night!
