Embellishment storage - and more embellies

I got some questions about embellishment storage, so decided to show my system here - along with a few more embellishments I've made recently from new dies.

As you can probably tell from the picture above, I store my embellishments in sheet protectors in a 3 ring binder.  Most of them fit in protectors designed for baseball cards - like you see in the picture above.  I find if I cut a piece of paper to fit in each, I can then put embellishments on each side and see them clearly.  I DID find that some things I made were too large for that size of sheet protector, so I added some protectors that were designed to hold photographs - I think these are for 4 x 6 size:


This last page shows some of my most recent embellishments:

These are from a Spellbinders die set called Winter Evergreen Foliage & Ladybugs.  The foliage is pretty large, ranging from approximately 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" in length.  The ladybugs, on the other hand, are tiny - smaller than my pink fingernail.  I have learned that for some of these small embellies, it is best to put them in a 2" x 3" little zip lock baggie before putting them in the book.

I also made some flowers from the Spellbinders set called Simply Perfect Layered Blooms.  Here's a quick look at some of those.

I had intended to make a set of blue, one of pink, and one of yellow/orange, but when I went to start coloring my second set of flowers, I mistakenly grabbed the blue again and had almost all of them colored before I realized my mistake!  So, I have quite a few of the blue ones!

I sure wish I had thought to do this with my Seahorse Gardens, Under the Sea, and Water You Up To? sets!  Those would be nice to have!
