I used a huge D ring binder and bought some ziploc type 3 ring binders that go inside. It really is only for scraps though, it won't fit the 12x12 pages, I just cut mine down if they are too big, it really has helped me to use more scraps.
This is a pic of mine before I found the ziploc ones, I used just sheet protectors, but they got very full at bottom, and was hard to flip from one to the next. All 3 of my binders like this now hold scraps and I labelled the spine with what color is in each binder.

I have the same problem...yours looks much better than mine though. It's in a box with a lid so I don't see what's in the box. I need to do something with my scraps too!
I agree, use them - trim the fat so to speak - every few months I pull out my scraps (pretty much the same system you have here) and I make entire layouts with just the scraps. some really great ones have come out of this system (of course some not so great too LOL
I totally feel your pain!!!! Here is an idea....in the Cropper Hopper series they make those paper folders, sticker folders, etc. Get the sticker ones, there is like 5 different compartments. One compartment can hold a 12x12 sheet of paper...so all your reds will fit, then the other compartments are smaller/deeper, shallower...depending on the size of your scrap. So all your red stuff can still be together. And then you can get the magazine holder things that the cropper hopper has out and bam....organized :0) Let me know what you think or if you need a picture to see what the cropper hopper stuff looks like.

This is what I'm currently using to organize my smaller pieces of colored cardstock. I organize them by color but after 2+ years of scrapping, it's getting overfull. I need to come up with a way to sort by size and color because going through this box box of paper is becoming very tedious. Any ideas?
