Hi,
what do you all do with your finished pages? I just finished my first page from Secret Garden - love that coloring book!
I did try a search, but did not see this exact question covered.
ETA: I had the spine cut off my coloring book to make it easier to color, so all my pages are loose..

All the ones that are in books have so far just stayed in the books. I did print off a page from The Secret Garden that I found online, and it is blu tacked above my desk. I might actually find a frame for it, because the colours worked really well, and it looks like a print.

I got this nifty photo album on Amazon. I tear my finished pages out then slip them in this. Cheap and great way to store and view your work. It works well with all types of markers, although chalk pencils may smear a bit but as long as you don't take page out once it's in sleeve, it protects your work well. album |

I make copies from the books and put the finished pages in an empty coke crate. I mostly use markers and occasionally colored pencils, nothing beautiful or creative. So, I'll throw them some away once the crate starts to get full.

But yeah a scrapbook would work as well. Anything that has protective pages would work. |

I've finished several pages in my Secret Garden book and I'm leaving them in there. Just keeping the book intact as I color. I use both markers and colored pencils. Years ago, I bought all of the round, fine and calligraphy tip markers from CM and I'm still using them. I keep the different tipped pens in separate containers (those blue ones with the white lids also from CM years ago) so they go from my scrap room to my bag with my coloring book easily.

I haven't had time to color yet, but I figured I would use them when making cards and tags. I suppose I could frame one that really speaks to me.
I smiled at those of you who are making copies and coloring those. My first reaction was the same. I don't want to mess up the book. I can see making a copy of something and coloring it with the seasons in mind, to either change out or display all four together.
I also have some of those clear checkbook covers that I've never used because I had nothing come to mind to decorate the blank. A coloring page would work nicely in one of those.
Now I just need to finish my huge to do list and start coloring.

I just keep them in the book - not sure what I will do when it has all been colored. I just keep all the loose pages I have colored in a folder - not sure what I will ultimately do with them

Those Itoya Art Portfolios come in many sizes. You can get some at Michael's but for the most choice of sizes, you'll have to order on online.

I print A LOT from Pintrest and I have a found a few inexpensive ones I really like on Etsy. I still haven't found anything to keep them in. Dh and were talking about that this weekend actually. He asked me if I needed a folder. I thought it was sweet of him to ask! I've slowly been collecting Copic markers. So far they've been my favorite. I've tried few others from my scrapbooking days but I'm loving the Copic and the colors. I like to get them from Oozaks.com and DickBlick. They are WAY cheaper. Or with my coupons at Michaels. I want to try a few other sites that have about the same prices my only complaint with Oozaks lately is they are out of stock A LOT and a little behind on their shipping. I want to try MerriArtist. Anyway - they are my favorite and so far been worth it. I just use regular bazzil cardstock. It's pretty heavy and it so far is the truest white. So I use for my cards as well with the Copics.

I got my coloring book spiral bound in staples so I keep my book together with my colored pages. As for coloring I use markers and prismacolors.
