I decided to organize all my cards, so I have made a organizer/storage box. New to me is the paper pack of vintage designs such as mason jars and luggage, rulers and old, weathered signs. New also is my We R Memory Keepers Tab Punch Board. What I did was paper a large shoebox from my paper pack, including cutting out bits to post on each end framed in gold and raised on dimensionals. A square of chipboard was also covered and glued in the middle as a divider.
One end of the box has tabs from January to December for upcoming events. The other end has tabs for types of cards, birthday, get well and so on.
It took me all day! It was fun, and I actually like it.

Oh, Kandie, I LOVE your new way to organize your cards. I have some of mine in a plastic bin, but these are so beautiful! I love how you've got them by month for birthdays/anniversaries and then by types. Truly inspiring, sweet friend! So much to do, but this is a keeper! Warm hugs and love! xoxo

Oh my goodness Kandie this is brilliant! I totally need to organize my cards when I make them so I know what I have and know what I need. I gave all my stash at Christmas to start over because they were getting full in the boxes and I wanted to start over. This is brilliant and I may need to CASE your boxes. Thank you for playing along.

What a brilliant system you have created for your cards, and it has your fabulous, creative touch all over it. I am super impressed with everything you did to make this, and when you are not feeling well no less. That is inspiring my friend! The sentiments you popped up around this box are really special and so inspiring too. I hope you leave this box out so you can enjoy it every single day. ~Karen.

Wonderful project, Kandie...and you'll go on enjoying it for a long time! I just use two shoe boxes, but I really badly need to make tabbed dividers. The vintage look is fabulous, and I hope the sentiments you used speak freshly to you each time you go to pick a card, they are good ones to live by.
