You all know that I am a thrifty crafter!  I didn’t want to spend money to organize my papers, so I went hunting in my basement.  And look what I found?!?  They aren’t pretty, but these old magazine holders are nice and sturdy.  Check the thrift store and I’ll bet you can find some if you don’t have some already. 

Supplies

  • Magazine holders
  • Sheet Protectors
  • 9X12 cardstock for dividers
  • Permanent Marker

Divide Colors using Large Cardstock

Separate each color with a piece of cardstock that is larger than the paper you are storing.  I used 9” x 12” cardstock and labeled the top edge with the name and item number.

Behind each divider, I placed a page protector also labeled with the color of cardstock.

Store 6X6″ Designer Series Paper the same way!  I write a list of all the colors in the DSP and keep it in the page protector sleeve.
