I organized my Nestabilities!

I kept thinking that my green drawers were not being utilized to it's fullest potential. I mean, how much space do Nestabilities need??? I know people keep them in CD jewel cases...so why not store them in a CD wallet! It's compact, all in one place, a SPACE SAVER and easily portable. I got the magnetic strips at Wal-Mart. They came in packages of 18 self-adhesive strips for only $0.88 each. I cut several pieces of cardstock to fit into the CD wallet sleeves.

You have to use two strips of magnets to hold your Nesties securely. I organized them according to their compatible sized scallops.


I printed out labels for each one for easy reference. After completing the wallet I totalled 19 sets! I also left a few CD pages empty for new Nesties that I just ordered...can't wait to get the brand new ones in!!!!
I ordered the Wizard after seeing the Spellbinders ladies demonstrating it! It gives you a nice CRISP impression every time! I had been using my Cuttlebug and I thought it did a great job cutting and the embossing is pretty good, BUT after seeing how the Wizard embosses the shapes, I feel there is no comparison! I just have to have it! And HAVE I WILL...how much longer, Kelley?!?! LOL! I can already here her telling me "Patience, my little monkey".

  11. Wow, TFS!! I would like to get mine out of the CD cases also. I have never been happy with that storage concept. But I'm wondering, did you have some sets that didn't fit in the CD wallet? I have the long rectangles and the mega nestabilities. Would they fit? I would really like to find a solution that works for all my Spellbinders dies.

    Thanks again for sharing!

  12. Lorelie...please let me know how the Wizard is to use, i.e., is it THAT much better than a Big Kick..We have a rubber stamp show coming to Albuquerque, 15 March and the wizard will be there and for $99, I want to know for sure!...I'm going to set up the spellbinder CD sleeves like you have posted here!..mine are still in the original packing!
