I have been reaquainting myself with my stash after not scrapping for a while. I've been purging the old stickers I have had for 18 years and now have two practically empty PSBs. They don't seem practical for storing Thickers so I'm trying to decide what to put in them. I hate to get rid of something that big and I don't throw away anything if it can be repurposed (thanks Depression era parents). Is anyone still using these binders and what do you find fits nicely inside?

They're great for storing ephemera type items or if you fussy cut things.

I have 3, and I use them for stickers, die-cut shapes, and other ephemera.

I have 3 of them and down to 1 PSB that I am currently using. I use it for all my letter stickers. I have moved all my other stickers to to hanging files. Not sure if that is better or not but it seems to work for me. I don't use the stickers as much so I don't get in them as much. I have my two PSB stored away... I have a hard time getting rid of them so they just stay in storage.

I do! I have one with letter stickers in it, and I just bought another one for $10 off a local FB board, to store Project Life cards. I keep my PL cards (or just one of each design if I have several of one kind) in divided page protectors, so I can flip through them and see what I have.
And because I have FAR FAR too many PL cards, I now need another binder to hold them... (But it really does work great and hold a lot of those divided pages!!)

I have had them for yrs but I just got rid of them. you can use whole page inserts to plan an album or pages in progress  |

I use them to bring page samples when I go to crops as a vendor, and to safely bring home finished pages when I go to crops myself away from home. They're so much nicer than a regular album because they zip all the way around so nothing gets wet, bunged up page corners, etc.

jenr - what kind of page protectors do you use for your pl cards? Do baseball card protectors work- I think they're three across and three or four down?

I use mine for stamp storage.
I stamp the image on a piece of card stock, put it in one of the pockets, then apply the stamp on the back of the pocket. I converted all my rubber stamps to be "peel and stick" to conserve both space and weight prior to moving. I had at least 2,000 rubber wood mounted stamps, probably more, so it was necessary to get rid of the wood blocks. I have had no regrets.
I can look through my entire stamp collection in fairly short order. I have 14 of the PSB binders, all filled with stamps. Each PSB binder holds about 350 to 400 stamps, depending on the size of the stamps. I use this method for both the rubber and the clear stamps.
It works for me.
I have another PSB with dry embossing templates. You could also store the thin dies in the pockets.

They're so much nicer than a regular album because they zip all the way around so nothing gets wet, bunged up page corners, etc. That's funny because I just took all of the pages OUT of the zippered binder and put them into a regular 12x12 album because it takes up less space and zipping and unzipping it is a pain. I don't go to crops so don't need to keep anything safe. The empty zippered binder is sitting in my garage to be donated. |

My friend just bought one at the weekend retreat for $5. She is using it to preplan her current project. The zipper keeps stuff from falling out. she said she has 3 of them for just that purpose.

For my page samples, I take those with me to and from retreats where I do custom cutting so they aren't "real" scrapbook pages, KWIM? And when I personally go to crops to work on stuff, I would rather bring a PSB to bring my finished pages home vs. bringing the album they will ultimately go in because the PSB is sturdier and more weather resistant. Once I get home I transfer the finished layouts into postbound albums that are their permanent home. |

That's so funny! Just yesterday I was lamenting getting rid of the two I used to have a few years ago. I miss them. I'd use to store lots of little embellies. Currently I have them all over the place!
I'm thinking about getting a new one!

Right now I keep my PL cards in divided pages on an old album but they tend to slide out. Think I'm going to have to move them. |

I started with those and everything used to fall out all the time.. I think I finally tossed them... that was my experience!! I have tons of inserts that have a lip on top, they are the exact size but with the lip on top I think they will work.. I see a project in my future! |

Can you still buy them? I might need one. Is it a CM product?

I have a third one that I just bought. I use it to preplan pages, I throw the pictures, embellishments and paper into a 12 x 12 pocket. when I am ready to scrap. I pull out the PSB with everything in place and ready to go!

Totally-Tiffany Scrap Rack Basic Storage Pages apparently fit the PSB and come in various styles. They can be bought on Amazon. I just peeked at Ebay and saw quite a few binders for sale.

I'm kinda bummed, I thought I had 3 binders.. 2 of which I wasn't using.. then saw this thread and I am organizing my PL cards in the binders, but I only had 2.. one for my letter stickers and then one for the PL cards. I almost need a 3rd. Going to have to keep my eyes open for one.. maybe I can spot one at a garage sale this summer.

I've bought up a few of them used but in almost new condition at my friend's scrappy consignment sales. I've been able to nab them for about $5 each.

I used to have one and had to get rid of it. It was just too big and I had no place to keep it. Too bad since I love to organize and it had all those pages with different sized pockets.
