Cards, cards and too many cards

[Kaylene]

Little Miss is 3 and I have loads of birthday cards invitations etc already. I dont want to throw them and so I have been keeping them in a box. I was just wondering if anyone has any good or artistic ideas on how to keep, store or save your old cards.
Thanks

I will be watching this for any inspirational ideas!

I only said the other day that I have no idea what to do with the childrens birthday cards.

I know when I was a little girl me and my Mum scrapbooked all of my birthday cards, from aged 6 until I left home at 17! My Mum still has all the scrapbooks..........

Like the Scrapbook idea from Lucy above . I Collect all the important and nice birthday cards given to my step children and i scrapbook them in the new moden way . not anything too fancy but it adds a few nice pages of Cards and Journals next to them ( eg Grandmas Card and a Journal as to what was given ) behind the couple of pages of photos taken from the event . a little bit of work - but playing around creates a memory for you to be proud of and somthing to keep and be able to look back on .

I've put my little girls birthday cards in plastic sleeves (layed out flat) and then just into a ring binder, that way you can flip through them and see both the front and then flip over and read the messages. Keeps them all together and doesn't take much time / effort - "One day" I'll get around to scrapbooking them properly!
