How do you store your templates?

Apr '01 RachelO7

I was wondering how to store my templates to that I can easily get to them, I was using the three ring binder thing but they are such a hassle to get out of & not all the templates have 3-rings.

I put them in ziploc bags, and three hole punch the bag to go in a binder. They are easy to slip in and out that way., Nancy

Along those same lines, I put the ones without the punched holes in page protectors, then put the page protector in my three-ring binder. I like having them all in one binder so I can grab it when I go to a crop.

I have some mixed size templates, some that are about 15" long, that won't fit in a binder. I have been trying to organize them all into being stored in one place. I personally think they'd look nice all sitting in a Longaberger magazine basket, but just need to convince my DH of that!

Oh I feel so unorganized!!! I have mine flopping around in a desk that I use to store all my paper in. It's all stacked neatly, but nothing really has a place, and I find myself digging through paper to find templates. Although I also have to admit that although I've got--seemingly--a million templates, I always seem to use only two or three that are always on top.

I store mine in a CIS PSB in whatever style of page works. I have a colored piece of paper between 2 templates in a page.

I store my Buddie Borders saparate than my "other" templates. I have them in a plastic 12 x 12 folder that ties shut and it stands upright in my cropping bag.

I store my templates several different ways. All of the Journaling Genies I have so far are in the notebook they sell. All of the other templates that have holes are in a 3-ring binder, with cardboard dividers between them so I can see them, and the ones without holes that will fit in page protectors are in there that way. And my Coluzzles I keep in a poly envelope with the mat and blades, in my Generations tote, so I will always have them when I go to a crop!

I don't have alot of templates, but they range in sized from very large to 1/2 page. I like the binder idea, but currently I am using a hanging file system for my papers and include a couple file folders for my templates. I speatate my alphabets from my shapes.

I store mine in my Crop In Style Personal Sticker Binder (is that what PSB stands for?). I always have that with me anyway since it holds my stickers and die cuts.
