Lessons Learned in Project Life Organization |

[@AmyPitts71]

I don't have a ton of pocket page cards. I did just go through them and sort them back into manufacturer because when I had them by color it was a mess for many of the reasons you mentioned, multi-color, different front/back. I also really have a ton of cards I know I will never use. I will have to go in and review my stash and pair it down a little. Thanks :)

I just recently found the perfect storage containers from the dollar tree that fit in my raskog . I put most of my cards in these containers and I now can flip though them and its wonderful

I'm retiring at the end of the month, so expect to have lots more time in the future. In the meantime, I love watching your videos and soaking up ideas. Thanks!

I'm so ready for a fresh start. I moved in November and now have a whole room for crafting. I have sorted, purged and ready to start. I just need some motivation to get going.

I have not tried the project life cards but love the idea will be using these ideas for other areas- Thank you

[@taylorjudi]

Thanks for the great ideas. I do not have lots of this stuff, but enough to need storage help! I do not make pocket pages, I use the cards as tags in junk journals and mini albums. I started my organization by sorting out a drawer full of ephemera and journal cards into categories. Now I can figure out a solution that works for me.

[@karencokias9212]

Thank you for this! I have quite a few different manufactures cards and many of them I just hang on to because I might need then someday. UGH! Now I feel like I need to get rid of them and MOVE ON! Thanks again! :)

So interesting. I ended up keeping my cards by kit. I used to organize by filler/journalling back with the original style kits too. PS Love that you have a random piece of Lego in there!

I’m loving this series! I have my cards organized by collection in a pretty desk organizer that I found at Marshall’s. What I need to get done this week is go through my old studio calico kits and put them into my stash. I’m planning to choose my favorite side for classifying them because I usually have a preference. For my core kits, I take out one card of each design and put them together in a section and leave the rest in a box. If I want to use a card from that kit, I pull out the kit and grab it from the box so my reference cards are all still there. Lots of work to get done!

I'm loving this series! Thank you, Jennifer! I tried to do PL and didn't like it. So got rid of all my stuff. Then decided to just do event PL pages to add in my 12x12 album and love it! I now make my own or download cards so don't have many. They are in Iris 4x6 cases. Works wonderfully!!

[@Digitalscrapbookinghq]

I keep mine in the 4x6 boxes too!

[@mizzkb00]

I try to use them up while scrapbooking in a grid style formation...as far as organizing them, I only have maybe 5 collections since I don't do PL and they are in a plastic tote from Michaels but I think I am going to go back & sort them by theme. Thanks for tips !

[@rhh2313]

I have a lot of 3x4 cards and about half as many 4x6's, but I don't do PL! I have used the cards with words as titles on pages, and add one or two of the coordinating cards as layering pieces, but not nearly as often as I should for the number of cards I have. Time to purge them. I will only keep as many as I can fit in my two little antique sewing drawers...with room to flip through them. Great idea on the tabs for dividing!

[@sebjusa]

I have all my 3x4 cards still in their original packaging. I really want to combine them all together, but can't find the right system for me. Thanks for the new ideas.

[@jeannettebutler1250]

I have just one package of pocket page cards that I was give as a gift from a friend. I've had it for a number of years and have looked at it a few times but it never seems to fit with my project. I have pulled a couple that I think might fit with a cruise scrapbook. We shall see.

I recently organized my pocket cards in a large plastic storage box from Close to My Heart. The box has a hinged lid with a handle on top which makes it very portable. I organize the cards by mfgr/collections/themes and it works well for me!

[@debbiekromka8161]

I don't do Project Life, but i do use some of the items in other ways. i like the tab idea!

[@librajjt]

I use the CTMH medium box. It fits the cards perfectly!

[@Curlygirl0]

I keep the ones in the box as you do that I want to use for an album I keep the others in 4 x 6 cases and labeled each case.

[@katrinaformanlee8762]

I don’t make many pocket pages, and I only have a small number of project life cards that are in with my other journaling supplies, so I’m going to use this for my journaling cards. On another note, I finally got my desk where I can open the side cabinet. No more pile of stash on the floor in front of it!

[@Simplescrapper]

Yay, congrats on your progress!

[@amyhanschen669]

I keep all Ali Edwards stuff in their envelopes and store them by theme. Love them so much and everything works together in each kit.

[@wandadesrosiers3364]

I also use the CTMH medium box. Love it!

[@terrifullerton3530]

I have labeled some of my albums, but not all of them. Need to work on that

[@christinecassidy1179]

I don’t do Project Life but do have several collections. I’m going to try storing mine in a Deflector Desk Organizer. I have the punch you showed and plan to sort by manufacturer. Currently my cards are thrown into two thin plastic containers which is NOT working for me.

[@annelucas1803]

I've never gotten into PL stuff. I do have a small collection of PL -type cards from CTMH, but not really sure how to use them. They just sit in a container.

[@kathythisted9602]

I have very few project life cards any more since I decided it wasn't really my style so I keep them in a simple file box.

[@gaylechurches733]

I have very few Project Life cards. I'm not sure how I want to deal with that yet.

[@tiffanymitchell7824]

I no longer do Project Life. I used to and switched to digital and the now don't do it anymore. Seasons of life, right? Just doesn't work for me anymore. I don't make many pocket pages either. I was glad then that I didn't invest in core kits. I do have mini kits and a shelf of a raskog cart full of cards, though. I also keep them organized by manufacturer but then also by collection. I have cardboard boxes that I found to be the perfect size for cards and 6x6 pads of paper. Mindful about not purchasing any more cards unless I use up what I already have. Could use purging some of my cards or at least go through them soon to remind myself what I have!

[@bdebsing]

I do not do project life but the organizational ideas can be applied to other things.

[@Digitalscrapbookinghq]

I've just organized my digi pocket cards! :D You can see a few simple organizing solutions for digi scrap Project Life cards here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4mnqIuea7iqeNk
