Ephemera

Storing ephemera in an album is a perfect storage solution. The items you have can be easily seen and flipped through. Consider preprecutting items with your dies and storing them in the album. This way you could have items ready to go when you start with your next project.

User Manuals

Do you like to save the user manuals and instructions that you receive when purchasing new tools? If you save manuals it will be easy to referback to them. Storing the manuals in an album makes referencing instructions painless!

Swatches

Perhaps you have a variety of markers, pens, paints, inks and pencils in your crafty stash. Creating a collection of swatches is perfect for referencing colors. As we all know, the color on the outside of the pen doesn't necessarily reflect the actual color. Making swatches will show you how the color actually looks on paper. 

Inventory
