This sorta falls into a "tutorial" category. So we all have been places this summer and have been "collecting" stuff from all these places. I know I have, all the way down to receipts. Over the weekend as I started to prep my summer album and my san Francisco mini book I noticed all my "stuff". So I ran to walmart and got a binder, some velco 3 holed pockets and sheet protectors. I organized all my stuff. I made a pocket for san diego, crafts fairs, day trips, long beach, san fran, stanford and a few more. I labeled each pocket with a strip of washi tape since it peels off easy I can keep re using the folders. So that is my tuesday tip/tutorial. DO you have a way you organize all your travel or memorabilia stuff if so please share and you can win this WHOLE loot...{I cleaned out} it's good stuff...Happy Tuesday everyone!! Hope your creating something...
Win this...LOT'S of pattern paper...some pre made tags...a jenni bowlin tab punch...and trim...a summer mini album...
I always take a folder/accordian folder with me on vacation. I drop our ticket stubs, brochures, receipts etc into that while we're on vacation. I also have a journal that I take notes in and make a copy of the pages to go in the folder when we get back. Once the photos are printed, I have it all together in one package for when I'm ready to work on that event. I might also put in some crafty supplies that I plan to use on that project if it's just perfect and I want to save it.

What a great way to be organized! I love the velcro folders. And Miriam's idea of keeping your journal pages with it is perfect, too :)

I'm not as good at organizing as all of you gals mine usually ends up in a plastic box!!!

My intention always is to go down the folder/envelope route but in reality it all ends up in a box which makes it a nightmare when trying to match stuff to specific events when i come to use it all.

That's a great idea. I use the big 13x13 zip lock bags that I can only find at Target. EVerything goes in there - my travel journal, photos, receipts, any supplies that I know I am going to use for that project. I also put any creative ideas in there - techniques I want to try or page idea.

I "try" to be organized by using manila folders that I cover like a book with a map of the place visited, circling and/or labeling the main sites as we go. Inside I make extra pockets to hold trip stuff. When/if I get caught up, the folder can be cut to size and used in the travel journal.
