It's high enough that I can stand them up if needed and I have created custom recipe card tabs to separate and catalog each type of die/plate. (I do put the die's in ziplocks though as they are much smaller than the plates). *I can also store the acrylics when not in use here as well. If you are just getting started, you may need a weight to keep the dies/plates upright until the box gets full...(i used to use a painted rock from my daughter). Hope this helps. Hi Linda,

Because the CuttleBug is so versatile and can accept other embossing plates/dies from other manufacturers I have a sufficiently sized (ie: 10 x 14″) storage box (from IKEA; called Kassett) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70180390 that I store my dies/envelopes in. It’s high enough that I can stand them up if needed and I have created custom recipe card tabs to separate and catalog each type of die/plate. (I do put the die’s in ziplocks though as they are much smaller than the plates).

*I can also store the acrylics when not in use here as well.

Hope this helps.

It sounds great and I will play around with your ideas. Best I have heard yet. I like the idea of separating each event with the different colors (which I was going to do ) but how you explained how "to do it" is what makes it great. It is a big project but will definitely let you know when it is completed. Thanks Again Cijaye Norma Thank you for your input. It sounds great and I will play around with your ideas.

One the left page I would add the article with some extra features in/around it (such as creative highlights, glossy accents, special arrows etc), then on the right hand pages I would add the reference sources and either stitch or strategically adhere the lines from sections of the articles to the reference sources... You could also use mini envelopes on the right hand side to store snippets of the articles - as if they were in special reference folders in a file cabinet. Anyhow...I am not sure if that makes sense without a visual to show - but I am sure you can create your own adaptation of how you interpret this and it will turn out perfectly! Good luck!

The first idea that comes to mind for your tournament scrapbook album is to differentiate with color. For example each category gets its own colors. I might also suggest differentiating with special embellishments/accents. The horseshoe scrapbook pages might look really cool with silver elements throughout (considering horseshoes are silver) - - or sand if your folks are tossing the horseshoes into sand. For the golf ball over the river ones...you might want to use embossed papers (that resemble the dents in a golf ball)....or water like accents (like rhinestones, glass/clear beads, glossy accents etc). And the breakfast pages -- well that goes without saying...food accents would be great. There are food stickers galore in pretty much any craft store you can find. But you may also be interested in food patterned papers. Just some food for though... ;) Good luck with your pages. I would love to see some finished photos of them! Hi Norma,

After 10 years we have called it quits. I would like to put these pictures in a traditional album, but would like to have the pages all the same for the different events except for what pictures will be on the pages. There would be the following categories: Horseshoe Tournament Washshoe Touranment Hitting Golf Ball over the River Morning Breakfast What would you suggest. I have looked at lots of different ideas but just can't seem to find something that I like. Thank you for all your help.

I need to make a scrapbook for my International Business class. Basically we have to collect 5 atricles and relate them back to different strands that we learned throughout the year. I want it to be creative, but at the same time professional. Can someone give me some ideas to start off with? Thanks :) Hi. I need to make a scrapbook for my International Business class.
