Cricut Cartridge Storage

This is what I originally used for cartridge storage, but it only holds 26 and it was a pretty snug fit with all cartridges, layouts and books inside.

So, when my collection grew to 35 cartridges I had to figure out something new. I got the idea from one of the ladies on the Cricut Lovers Yahoo group she used containers from Wal-Mart and I think put one cartridge per divider and taped the plastic to each divider.

So I went to Staples in search of containers (I had reward money to use). The brand of box is "Really Usefull Boxes" and they're $9.99 each.  I was originally going to use 5x8 index cards as dividers but those were too flimsy.... light bulb.... use my scrap pieces of chipboard. This worked out perfectly because I had a bunch of scraps that were 5" wide and 11" long so I cut them down to 8.75". I then cut out the plastic so it was just the "holder" part so I could put 3 per divider. I glued them on using Zip Dry glue. Each box will hold 27 cartridges along with the overlays and books.

I didn't have any file labels, so I printed out the "labels" on card stock and used my Xyron to make stickers. I think I'm really happy with this solution and it will continue to work as my collection grows. And you can always reorganize the carts just by re-labeling the dividers.
