Before I saw this idea for die storage on Youtube, I stored my dies in c.d. cases in a drawer, but some of them didn't fit in the cases, so they ended up in plastic bags. It wasn't really the best system so I decided to make this storage album. I can already tell that this is going to work much better.
The cover measures 11 inches x 7.5 and the pages inside are slightly smaller. The papers I used are from the "Lace & Linen Stack" by DCWV. (below)
I raided my pantry for cereal boxes and that is what all my pages are made with. The cover is just a piece of cardboard. I edged all the pages with a black marker and then added the designer paper to each side. This paper is quite thick, so the pages are pretty sturdy.
First Page
I added a pocket to some of the left side pages, In this one I have the instructions for cutting and embossing with dies and also a picture of how it looks when done. I cut these from the packaging the dies came in.
I used sticky back magnet and cut it to the sizes needed & rounded the corners, just makes it look a little neater.

Pocket on left for future use.
Fourth Page
Fifth Page
Sixth Page
This is a larger die, I still have room to add a couple of smaller ones on this page. I don't know the name of this one, didn't keep the info. from the package. (Thanks Lynn for the name) There are 3 more pages in the album that I didn't show pics of, they are for future purchases.
The Back
I used 2 pieces of cereal box mod podged together for this.
Thanks for dropping by my blog today.
Be back soon!

The last die is labels 8, the one I tend to use most. Your album is so beautiful. I also popped to see your son's blog, and photo's, they are beautiful. Hugs lin
Baby's, this is beautiful and functional, I love it. X
Babs, that is a wonderful idea. I had mine in an expanding folder, but I have to pull the dies all out to see what I have. Great job. Hugs, dj
You did a beautiful job on this Babs. This is how I store mine too. I need to make a second one though. LOL Sorry I'm so late in commenting. I hit the button to follow your blog a couple of weeks ago and for some reason blogger didn't complete it so I've done it again and should be up to speed now. :-) Hugs!
