For me right now the CD cases are working - it's just hard to find the larger ones. I'm just now discovering the joys of thin dies, so I expect in a few months I'll need another solution. :lol:

I'm still going to be sending you some DVD cases with magnet in them. I've been slack about getting things to the post office.

Thanks for all the comments ladies.

It was a big undertaking to finish this, but it is Sooooooo worth it. I was forever trying to add another Christmas stamp set in with the others, or worse into the CD storage. I store my CD cases horizontal, it's just easier for me to read the labels and you can see from the pic that it would mean moving all those CD case back one slot!! It probably took me a week doing 2 hours a night to enter all the information. But the beauty of it is it's DONE, and it's about 2 years now. I never have to rearrange again. Not only that, it is so easy to keep up. I get a new set of stamps, I scan them number them and put them into the basket, same with the dies. Also, you will notice a few open slots in the CD Rack. I just purged a lot of CS stamps that I will never use. I'm not going to move anything, just re-use the number with a new set of stamps. I didn't even rescan the existing regrouping of sets, I just made a note of the new CD# in the program. Also, the stamps that I got rid of - easy peasy, I just put a notation on the image that they were donated, gone from my collection. But again, I do admit to being a bit OCD.

BTW Debbie J - where do you live - LOL

This is a pic of just the CD cases.   I started out with this and didn't change it I just fill in the blank spots with new CD cases and/or  Avery Elle pockets.

I transferred several of my CDs that I recorded to the thinner cases so I could get them done. Then I got another order of dies. :-o

At least I'm using them! Within a year of purchasing them. When I remember that I have them. :lol:
