How do you store cards etc you want to keep

I suspect I may be on my own here but does anyone keep their children's birthday cards and other cards that they think they might like when they grow up? Does anyone have a super duper product they store them in an organised way in or arrange them in as my cardboard box containing lots of brown envelopes is going to explode soon and is looking a bit low on the style gauge. Thanks

For my DS now 7 and DD now 4 for the past couple of years I have made a 'collage' of favourite cards and stuck it in a clip frame. Not much effort involved - I use a bit of thin blue or pink card as a backing sheet and then arrange the cards on top of that - no cutting to size involved. Originally like you I kept cards, but think they mean more to them now and this way they get to enjoy a selection for a whole year!

I stick all mine into scrap books to keep them flat and safe. My dd is 6 now and loves looking through them.

I have loads though. I would need about 20 scrapbooks - really after something a bit less space consuming.

I would ditch those that aren't really superduper - or you'll be needing a biger house as they get older! I kept loads of things my boys made as they got bigger but have to do ruthless clearouts every so often and just keep the most sentimentally important ones.
Ds2 and 3 have a load blu-tacked up on their bedrooms doors - their favourite things.
