I use these for interchangeably for organizing almost all of my papers, some layouts and paper crafting projects. And love that one product can be used for so many different purposes so I don’t have to stock multiple different things. Originally I used the string closure option because that was all that was available, but I removed the string and added Velcro dots. Didn’t love that and as soon as the snap versions came out I snapped them up. First SG brand and then I stocked the Recollections brand for years because I could get them on sale or with a 40% coupon.
You can see where this is going, right? I just ran out (enabling peas making me buy more paper!) and Recollections doesn’t make them anymore. I can find some Generations brand on Amazon and EBay. Was willing to pay $2 a piece though that’s ridiculous. But I just got the delivery today and see I missed an important part of the description, “assorted colors.” Half are clear and half are purple. And I love purple, my room is purple, but my primary use for them is storing collections together and I when I’m starting a layout the first thing I do is flip through these envelopes to see which one will work best so they need to be clear for that. I can use the purple ones for my layouts and projects, but I like to be able to see them too. Plus I like them to be interchangeable. And I will feel really guilty spending $4 a pop if I don’t keep/use the purple.
The only kind I can find right now in any brand have Velcro, string or slotted closures. Do you know of any I may have missed in my search? Didn’t Scrapbook Generations use to be like CTMH and SU with local individuals selling them? Is there a secret SG website where former resellers have a stash they need to get rid of?
