Organizing Solutions

Are you always looking for paper to jot down notes? Maggi Harding has combined the Card Box and Notebook Pocket and added a place for her pen for a creative solution to this problem. Check out Maggi’s blog to see how she made it.

Nicole Wright has a clever way to use the Card Box by making it wider to accommodate her card collection. Check out all of the awesome details on Nicole’s blog.

This mixed media Card Box Organizer by Tracy Evans is loaded with techniques. Not only did she make a box, but also a card using the House Pocket die to put inside. See more on Tracy’s blog here.
