Now onto my tip, I am sharing my beloved vintage mailbox....eeeccccckkkk...isn't it gorgeous? It is a solid wooden old mailbox with a metal numbered tag. My dh and I purchased it while pickin one day.  I store my cards that I have on hand in it along with some bags and envies.


I have taken some of my favorite designer papers and made my own cutzie file dividers. I then hand wrote on a pink paislee ticket the type of card that I would be storing behind each divider. I stapled it to the designer paper divider for a little extra awesome sauce!

  5. What a fun way to store your card. I've been keeping mine in zip lock bags but then I can't see what I have. This is a much better idea!

  17. Love your card. Great idea with the patterned paper. I'm a hoarder as I love a good 6x6 paper pack but not often enough do I use them. This would be perfect! Thanks, it's an awesome tip. :)
