I traipsed over to my local Office Depot with a printout of the exact CD Sleeves she used. I knew if it worked for Jennifer McGuire, it would definitely work for little ol' me. Her containers are perfect for storage, however, I didn't think I wanted to pay $23 for the container to hold the CD sleeves, so I went to check on Office Depot containers. EUREKA!
I think my Really Useful Box will work out better for me than the one Jennifer has because I can literally pick up my stamps and go. I also have fewer stamps than Jennifer McGuire. I could not find the 11 liter box online at Office Depot, so have linked you to the company that makes it in the U.K. I think any container 12 inches (30.48 cm) interior width will work to hold the CD sleeves. The sleeves are just barely over 11 inches (27.94 cm) wide and about 7 1/4 inches (18.415 cm) tall. Those conversions should be right.
Here's what my container and repackaged stamps look like now:
Repackaged clear stamps in CD binder page
Repackaged Cling stamps in CD binder page
As you can see, the container is less than full for now!
Here's what I like about this container - I can take my stamps with me!
The container is a Really Useful Box - REALLY!
I just stood the container upright to take to my friend's to stamp.
Visit Jennifer McGuire to see her wonderful storage room and stamp filing system.

Very clever Arlene!
I have some very tiny boxes from this brand and store the foam pads for the Tim Holtz blending tool in it.
Great storage idea Arlene.
