I can't take the credit for this system as I saw this idea on Pinterest, but it was using a 7 Gypsies photo carousel. Unfortunately, 7 Gypsies no longer makes this item so I needed to come up with something similar. since I am converting my room over to a "steampunk" theme, I came up with this design and my very talented husband made this for me.
This is nothing more than a "roladex system". I used 4x5 cards and embossed the cards with my embossing folders. I used a "color code" system for each brand of folder: green - Anna Griffin; brown - Tim Holtz; white - Spellbinders, etc. Turns out, I have more Anna Griffin folders than I thought I had....
The base of the unit is a gear from some farm equipment with a pipe and a couple of elbow joints and a sprinkler head for the top.
A "Non-Steampunk" version is in the works and will be available for sale by 2 Frugal Fools in the near future. If you'd like to own one - just let me know.
