I store mine on a stamped laminated sheet, you can then put this in a binder (my orginal idea) or the reality, which is then all crammed in an ever bulging drawer!!

I too store mine on a laminated sheet which I keep in an Ikea tub, one of the ones for the childrens furnuture trofast or something like that, its deep enough to take all my stamps and still have room, it also means I don’t lose any should they come off the sheets.

I store mine in A5 display folders with 20 clear pockets from Big W and I write what sets are in them on the removeable spine that way I can just flip through them and find what I need in a hurry.  They were in the craft/stationery section and were quite cheap.  Hope that helps, i’m hoping it will encourage me to utilize my stamps abit more

I store mine in cd cases,  I take all the innerds,( bit the disc sits on) out so I’m left with just the clear case,
it’s possible to store stamps on both sides of the empty case.
Hope that makes sense.

I’ve got mine in CD cases, its about the only thing I have got reasonably well ordered!  Then I write on the spines what they are so I can find them quickly.  They do have to be proper CD cases though, not the thin data disc covers, and as Maggie pointed out the inner bit that holds the CD has to be popped out.

I am thinking of using an 8x8 scrapbook with the stamps on acetate sheets. I thought I could then do some decorated pages in between to make sections.

It may not be an original idea but at least it fits on the shelf!

I also stick mine on acetate and keep them in an A4 display wallet, quite handy and saves a load of room too smile
