After reading each scrapbook magazine I tear out the useful tips, techniques, page layout ideas, etc, etc and place them in a page protector, tab it accordingly, i.e. "tips & techniques, "layout ideas". Get the idea? Then when I need to refer to an idea or whatever I know I saw in my magazines I just refer to my "Quick Reference Binder" I made, which simplifies things and I don't waste too much time looking for that something I know I saw but can't find it quickly since my magazine collection is growing quickly. Hope this idea helps others. I came up with this idea because I am not able to retain so much info, so to avoid frustration of looking for something I have it placed safely in my Reference Binder.
I put two pages into one page protector. If one side won't be used for reference then I make a LARGE X through the part I won't use then add another page, now I have made the most of each page protector. I take this reference binder with me instead of my magazines.
