One could be used for important papers such as certificates of merit, diploma, etc.
Another could be used to keep cards. I keep my Christmas cards every year so I can send out to the same people the following year. You may be able to use some of the cards in your scrapbookking.
For the third one, the only thing I can think of is filing paid bills.
You might divide them by themes: holiday paper in one/ pastels in another, etc. You could also use them to organize stickers, and other misc. paper. My mom had a great idea to keep a different one for each book she is working on. She had a family book going, a holiday book, a history book, and so on. Each scrapfollo kept each project separate. It also helps keep it portable if you want to go work with a friend. :) Just grab the current project and go!
Hi: You can always use them to store your photos until you are ready to use them or for stickers…If it’s an accordian keeper with tabs you can label them from Jan-Dec and every time your take photos, place them under the correct tab until you can get your photos into albums…or you can label each tab by different occasions and store your photos along with memorabilia so you know where everything is when you are ready to work on them.
Hope this helps!
I would use one for scraps. I don’t like to mix paper I have already cut out of and paper I have to size (12×12). That way I always look through my scraps when I want to make something small like a tag or die cut, and I don’t ruin a new piece of paper. Also the new paper stays in good shape to use big or whatever purpose you may have for it. Also that keeps me from just grabbing a new piece thats at the bottom of the pile.
If you go to a friend’s house to scrap together, bring one with a selection of papers inside.
