How do you organize the greeting cards you want to save?

Hi Joy. I save greeting cards in a box designed for photos. I made my own dividers with tabs so I can put them in alphabetical or occasion order. Make sure you get a box large enough for the larger cards you may be saving and a different color from the ones you use to store other items. This methos works well for me. ~Barb

I have done it a number of ways. I use the video boxes with dividers. If your end point is going to be scrapbooking, I would put them behind dividers for the person's name or divide by years or seasons or celebration. I still have some that my children got from their grandparents when they were very small. I plan on putting them in a sleeved acid free photo album and give to them at Christmas. Good Luck.
Reply:I would get a shoe box (b/c it is cheap) and put little dividers that say...male birthday, female birthday, get well, congratuations, holidays, misc. and just file cards under each category. I would put little sticky notes on each card about important notes for each card, such as "sarah gave me this with a beautiful vase"





If you want to display them for people to see, then I would use a scrapbooking format and glue them only to the back. I would organize them by date. and then next to each card put a little note about the moment you got them.
Reply:I bought used card racks when a store went out of business. I also have an accordian type folder.
Reply:I believe they sell boxes expressly for that purpose. If not, try using a photo box (they sell them anywhere). It's really just a pretty, glorified shoebox that comes with cardboard dividers that you can write subjects on. That would seem the best way; that way, you can section off cards by holiday and have dividers as indexers.
Reply:I use an accordian folder from the office supply section at any store. It works well for labeling so that I always know what catagory to "file" them in. Personaly I use simple catagories like Birthday, X Mas, Easter, and so on. That way when those cards go on sale after the Holiday, or whenever, you can buy a bunch and keep them on hand.
Reply:I'd use a scrap-book format and its easier to store and you can add a little more information to the page to remember the occasion.





Then scan an put it up on a website... I'd love to see the end result of that project.





Good Luck.
