Project Life Card Organization + CTMH

Project Life Cards Organized in CTMH containers
This posting is 2 years overdue. Previously my PL Cards were organized in containers and Jetmax Cubes. Now they have been moved into (3)  Close To My Heart (CTMH) containers. The first containers consist of stickers. The last 2 containers consist of PL cards and accessories.

 This container picture below is the photo organizer from Michaels. I have a few ink pads, stamps and acrylic blocks.

 The stamps are sorted by theme.

Others storage ideas can be found here

Scanning Art Work

Our children have tons of art work!  During their public school days, I picked random pieces from their school /art work and random drawings from home, road trips, boredom etc to keep and add to their scrapbooks.  Before I stored it away I did my best to write their name, date, age and/or grade level on each piece of art work.  This helps me from guessing the date.  However there are some pieces without dates. For missing dates I will guess the season, grade level, month or year. 

I would love to keep original pieces but it is too much. Therefore I started scanning their artwork.  I am sharing a couple of pieces (non art class) from one of our elementary children.

I love this! They will be printed as a 3x4 matte photo and placed in their scrapbook albums. For people who use Project Life or Pocket Scrapbooking this makes a great filler card!

Project Life Cards, Organized - Containers

Journal Cards / Project Life / Filler Cards, Etc.

(in progress - I need to add a few more tabs)

I purchased 3 containers from Target in late 2012 or early 2013. I love the locking lids for transporting to scrapbooking retreats. The Measurements are 16 x 23".  They hold a twice the amount of the CTMH Medium containers. I have a mixture of 3x4", 4x6" cards and a small amount of 2 1/2 x 3 3/4" for my 8 1/2" x 11" scrapbook album. They are organized in several ways: Color, Theme, Brand, etc. There are 4 rows and I've used plain boxes from our pantry, cell phone boxes and 2 acrylic trays from M's to organize and hold the cards. 

I typed the titles in Microsoft Word, printed on bright cardstock (easier to locate the tabs) and punched out the title using this punch.

Updated - adding 2 photos below.

WRMK 12x12 Album Storage

We R Memory Keepers 12x12 Album Display

Recently we moved into a rental furnished house. Our space is limited. Currently our albums are placed on top my jetmax cubes. There are 21 Albums: (15) WRMK 12 x 12 Leather Albums, (1) 8 1/2 x 11" WRMK "All About Me" Album, (5) other 3 Ring and Post Albums and growing.

In the black album, I store some of my spare WRMK and non-WRMK page protectors. On the left I am disappointed that some of the pages have changed color over the years compare to the right (wrapped in the white paper - newer pages).  In person it is a bigger color difference :-( .

Project Life Cards Organized - Jetmax Cubes

Project Life Cards - Organized!

I re-arrange different areas of our house including my scrapbooking area several times a month!  It's drives my husband insane.  This is one of a few ways I store the Project Life and custom cards using the Jetmax Craft Cube Storage.  I use the dividers that were included in the package.

The dividers minus one panel in the middle. The 3x4 cards are stored in the outer rows and the 4x6 cards are stored in the middle row. 

I created my own tabs with a punch.  The punch was purchased years ago at Michael's Craft Store and I believe it is available now at the store. I have 3 drawers filled and in the process of sorting through my remaining stuff.

On my office desk I have this small tray available for quick journaling. They are handmade by me. I've cut the cards from cardstock, scraps or used index cards and stamped with random stamps from my existing stash.  

Another view of the stamped journaling cards. 

The index cards are likely not acid free.Since they are not touching my pictures I am fine with it.
