Hi everyone! Just want to share my storage for Spellbinders Nestabilites. The dies cling beautifully to the magnetic sheets I found at my local hardware store. Ask for air conditioning vent covers. I think these magnet sheets are thicker than the sheets sold in craft stores or elsewhere. They cut easily with your paper cutter, or plain scissors. I cut them to fit inside a standard VHS case. I am using the case that does NOT have the hubs inside that once held the video tape. The case is nice and open and is about an inch deep. It can hold many sets of Nesties. This storage works very well for me. I can retrieve them quickly and find what I'm looking for in a matter of seconds. I chose this kind of storage over the binder idea because I KNOW that I would not what to take the time to file them back in the pockets when I am done. Honestly, I know that I would be lazy about returning them back to any pocket page or binder. I've been storing them this way for a few years now and it really works well for me. I'm posting a few photos in hopes that it will help some of you as well.
I'm not sure who to give credit for this great idea. Please let me know will you? Thank you to all of you who share your organizing ideas here on SCS.
I love this place!
Thanks for looking!
Deb

I actually use a similar idea. I use a thick strip of magnet sheet inside an empty clear cd case. I have one case for each set, and the cases are small and easy to file. I just write the set name on the spine of the case and can find what I'm looking for in seconds.

Thank you Deb. I'm too lazy to file things back as well and this idea looks wonderful. I had mine in a binder for awhile, but then became lazy and now they are tossed in a shoe box. Just putting them on magnetic sheets will improve my current "filing" system. LOL
