Ashley Gessler SHD {Sweaty Horse Designs}: What to do with all those old cards?

I have been amassing cards (birthday, wedding, get-well, new baby, and so on and so on) for AGES. I literally have gift bags stuffed full of them, but every time I try to reason myself into cleaning them out I nearly break down in tears. There are so many precious memories in them to simply toss them aside. But, what do you do with hundreds (if not thousands) of cards!?

I've been debating this very topic for the past 8 years and finally came up with the solution today!

I went through all the bags of cards, sorted out the ones I absolutely could not live without from the ones that I really didn't mind throwing out. When I had dwindled the collection down to a
manageable pile, I decided to cut the cards in half and display them in clear page protectors. I taped both the card's front and interior onto a piece of plain white computer paper and slid them into the protective sleeves. Brilliant! Even if I do say so myself!

Cards that had text or written notes on both interior pages, I kept the card in one piece and slid it, open, into the page protector.
