Turn Paper Clutter into Art

Happy Friday! I'm planning on doing some serious cleaning and organizing this weekend around my apartment and home office. Always on the look-out for creative ways to store & display paperwork, photos, etc., I found some great ideas for organizing cards, invitations, reminders, etc., that don't involve a giant cork board or refrigerator! I do love cork boards but they can get messy and cluttered very quickly. These ideas are especially handy for the upcoming Christmas season where you'll have invites, holiday cards, shopping lists, etc., etc., that will need a home (and not on the fridge!). Enjoy and have a lovely weekend :)

    I have the Pottery Barn one! It is such a great piece-- you can use it throughout the year, and when the holidays are over, you can put pictures on it.

    i love all of these images. i especially love using old worn shutters for holding cards. i had one propped up in my shop and i made hand made cards towards each holiday for sale, people loved the idea as a holder. fun!

    My mom has that pottery barn card holder, but leaves it up all year long. When it's not holding Christmas cards, she uses it for family photo's, letters, birthday cards, postcards etc.
