I have to admit that I do not do Project Life the way it is intended but I love the 3×4 and 4×6 cards (mostly the 3×4’s) to use in my cards and scrapbook pages so I’ve collected quite a few along the way. I don’t have a huge collection, however and I was looking for a way to store them so that I could reach them easily and see them at all times. I found the perfect solution in the “Memory Keeping Organizer” by Gina’s Designs.
I do not receive any type of compensation for writing about this product, I’m just sharing it because it works so well for me. It is a very thick chipboard die cut package which you put together yourself with a little glue. Mine didn’t come with directions so it was a little annoying to put together but if you write and ask (I was too impatient because it was late at night when I put mine together) for directions, Gina will send them to you.
This is what it looked like put together before I decorated it: (I haven’t put the little dividers in there yet because I want to paint them).
And here is what mine looks like decorated but empty:
And this is what it looks like full (without the dividers)
As you can see the box holds so much that I was able to put my rather large enamel dot collection into it along with a few other miscellaneous embellishments.
This Memory Keeping Organizer costs $10.00 and you can order extra sets of dividers (not shown) for $1.50. The price is perfect and really it wasn’t hard to put together (if you have directions), I used Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to put mine together. (Thank you for the help Elisha!)
I hope this product helps you with your project life card storage and organization. I’ll update this with a new photo once I have decorated and added the dividers. Here is a link to Gina’s website where you can purchase this item.

I don’t PL either but I do love the cards that Close to My Heart came out with Picture My Life. I am having a hard time storing them too. I really like what you did with yours but I don’t have my own space. I am a travel scrapbooker. My stuff is very orgizined. I do want to bring these cards with me to crops. I thinking do I store them with the matching CTMH paper or have them in their own tote.But will I ever pull them out??? I am a scrapbooker, they will end up on 12×12 LO. Any suggestions?

Hi Melissa, I think it depends on how many you have. I know that ctmh has a container that they use specifically for storing pl cards, you may want to check with your ctmh rep 🙂 If you can’t find anything let me know how many cards you have and I’ll try to come up with some ideas for you 🙂
Melissa says
I have about as much as you put in your handmad storage I have a few of CTMH storage boxes although great, but the problen I find with them is the tops don’t come off and at a crop space is king. Thanks for any suggesting you may come up with.

Hello, will this storage organizer fit inside the Ikea Raskog cart?
Kat says
Hi Michele, I just measured it and it looks like it’s too deep to fit into the raskog. Sorry.
