explains several ways to organize greeting
cards.
Baby- or Wedding-Shower
Keepsake
Make a scrapbook with ribbon that was saved
from gifts and photos of the shower.
hole punch
large pieces of poster board
ribbons
greeting cards
Steps:
- Punch holes in large pieces of poster
board, then tie together with a big piece
of ribbon.
- Use a glue stick or hot-glue gun to
put photos or ribbons on the cover pages
and others on the inside.
- Put all the cards that were received
in the book. To take the scrapbook a step
further, include photos of baby's birth
or a wedding photo, invitation to shower
and announcement cards.
- This scrapbook not only serves as an
organizational tool for cards, but it's
also a keepsake.
Store-Bought Scrapbook
Buy an attractive scrapbook of any design,
then organize birthday cards by year or
by family members, depending upon how far
back the cards go.
File-Box Card Organization
Buy a file box, or you could use a large
cardboard box and just insert file folders.
Put the name of each family member on a
folder, and put cards that you want to save
in their folder. A more general file of
the year can be made, and everyone can save
what he or she wants. Color coordinating
files in another good idea. Give each family
member a color, so they each have a file.
