paper storage solution

I must apologize for not being better at posting blogs life has seem to get in the way with a lot of my projects.i think i have solved my dilemma of paper storage.This is not my first choice but my search for 12x12 file drawer cabinets was in vain.There is nothing out there.
To the rescue was "Cropper Hopper" and their easy access paper holder.These things slide together in a snap and are reasonably priced.They are divided in 3 sections to separate colors or patterns or whatever.And to keep my papers protected I found self-sealing bags.Now they only hold between 15 and 20 sheets of cardstock per bag depending on the thickness,but you get 18 bags per pack for $2.00 so they are worth it.And to take advantage of every inch of space Cropper Hopper also makes paper dividers so i can organize even further.

paper storage quest

OK here's a problem that is really plaguing me as it has all of us at one time or another "paper storage"! i have been on the web every night for a week trying to find some sort of filing system for my 12x12 paper to no avail. paper racks are just not going to work as they will take up entirely to much space in my craft room. i did purchase a very nice 4 drawer file cabinet for my 8 1/2 x 11(needless to say it is full) and wanted the same for my 12x12. nothing to be found. i even went as far as emailing the company who made the file cabinet i purchased to tell them of the need for a file cabinet that could hold 12x12 paper.well we'll see if i get any reply. the only thing i have come up with for now is cropper hopper's vertical paper files. i have noticed some fading in my bazzill card stock even though they are not in any direct light. to save them from fading i was hoping to find a file cabinet that would work. i plan on visiting some office supply stores 12x12 paper in hand to personally see if i can find a cabinet that will work. and i'm calling on all scrapbookers to join my search. if you are out and about doing some shopping or you work in an office building where there are file cabinets check them out, see if our scrapbooking paper will fit and let me know. from researching this problem i can tell you i'm not the only one looking.....

a "brag book" twist

check out these cute little brag albums i came up with for a new baby. i usesd old cd's for the front and back cover and chip board for the pages. i just covered with cardstock, used spray adhesive to adhear the paper to the cd's and chip board. to get the right size circle i used the coluzzle large circle. the coluzzle knife even cut through the chip board. the pacifier is made from bazzills oval chipboard shapes.my husband drilled the holes in the cd's all the rest i used my memory makers eyelet hole punch (large hole).then a little lace or ribbon,a spiral punch from paper shapers, and a binder ring and your done.
