When you make pages with lots of 3-D embellishments (flowers, chipboard, etc)...how to you store them. Do you just put them in page protectors in an album? A few of the pages I've made are really hard to squeeze into the page protectors and I'm not sure what I should have done differently. I love to add 3-D embellishments.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I usually put them in page protectors. If I know I am going to have lots of 3-D embellishments on a page I will trim the page down. So if you have a 12 x 12 page I would trim 1/4 inch on the vertical side.

So since you page is made you can try and trim 1/8 inch on each side and see if it will slide into the page protector better.

ditto what Kristen said. I don't usually have a problem getting mine in the protectors, but if I did I would do the same thing.

I squeeze them in....most of the time, each one has its own page protector. lol...most of my stuff is 3d now, else I used to do 2 layouts per page protector.

also, I noticed that different brands of page protectors are more generous.

The Dalee ones are very snug and fitted. The American Crafts ones are more generous.

I haven't had any probs yet with squeezing layouts in my page protectors.

But if I did thats a great tip to cut your page down a little, will have to remember that if I do have any problems in the future, THANKS.
