Default great walmart find for scrap papers.THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR

THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE TO SAVE ON PAPER?

I recently seen a topic for scraps and posted this there but wanted more people to share this with.I went to walmart and found and accordian style folder Like the kind you store you reciepts in or bills.It has tons of pockets.They come in solids or decorative prints.Cost $6.42.

I bought one of these and want to get a second one.I used it to store all my scraps in a pocket for each color.This way here I'm not using so much paper,and it's much easier to find a color when you need to.Just pull out the folder and open it and sort through the colors.I have all reds together.Blues seperate.etc.

I also plan on getting another one to sort through my printed papers.This is so easy and you'll never waste paper again.

That's exactly what I use except I got 4 smaller size ones for $4 each (I liked the pretty colors and flowers). I love them. And they are portable.

I'm going to have to case this idea. I've been putting my scraps in baggies, they get all bent up, and not very neat looking. Thank you for the idea.

I use page protectors inside a zippered 3 ring binder for my scraps. It works really well. Encourages you to use all your scraps.

This is a awesome idea!! I have been using a rubbermaid container that I can never find the scraps I need that I know I know I have. I spend forever looking through it, then get frustrated.
Thank you
Mindy

I have my full sheets in hanging folders for each color. I store my scraps in the same folder so it encourages me to check the scraps first.

I'm using those "wallet files" for collecting my memoribilia and pictures for scrapping. I found some at Target with 14 pockets. I picked up 5--one for each of the years I'm behind!

This is what I do also.

Works great.

Default scraps

On my original post I said a price of $12.to $15. I just went back there and they were actually $6.42 so I bought another one for my printed papers.lot cheaper than I thought.what a bargain.you can even color code the top of each section so you'll know exactlly where to find each color.
