Hi everyone! My name is Priscilla and I blog over at Thrifty Crafty Girl! I’m so happy to be here at Say Not Sweet Anne and I hope you like today’s post!
Manuals are a thorn in my side. Honestly, every time I buy something, I dread taking that little manual out of the box because I can’t bear to throw it out and I hate having to find a place for it. And without fail, when I need that manual or the warranty, I can’t find it.
I needed to get control of this whole thing. I bought a 2-inch binder and some heavy-duty sheet protectors.
And then I rounded up every manual and warranty I could find around the house. I put them all in a sheet protector and put them in the binder. Quick and easy!
I used my Silhouette to cut some colorful tabbed dividers…
And I labeled each one. And then I sighed with relief…
A giant binder filled with endless amounts of paper that I can’t throw away… and a binder like that needed a label. I used my full page shipping labels and printed out a little something…
And now, I never have to worry about losing another manual or warranty. I just love a good binder!
I would love it if you would follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram!
I link up at these great parties!

Love your idea for storing warranties. But you didn’t give instructions for making the dividers. I just bought a great but expensive scanner and all my papers go into it. If its a booklet i just copy the pages on my printer copier and scan them in. But do you have instructions for making the dividers? Im not sure how a silhouette works but i have a big shot and a brother scan n cut, they would probably make them too. Thanks for your great info
Hey Virginnia!
I really have no experience with the Big Shot or the Brother Scan N Cut. The Dividers shown were made using a purchased file for the Silhouette. It was as easy as buy, open cut! Perhaps there is something similar for your devices?
This is such a great idea! I hate my box of manuals, it’s so disorganized. Thanks for the inspiration.

I just bought a Silhouette and haven’t had time to try it out yet. But cutting out page dividers sounds like a great idea!
I have honestly never thought to use my Silhouette to cut out page dividers. THIS IS GENIUS! Now I need to find a bunch of things to organize so I can use a bunch of pretty paper!!
