Decluttering Kids Papers

With 4 kids, Papers seem to take over my counters and desk tops!
For a long time I wondered.....
What do I do with all these cute papers that are too cute to throw away?
I don't want to send tons of boxes with them when they move out!
What to keep and what to throw away was the question I kept asking?

I have saved my favorite pieces to put in their scrapbooks.
The first time they wrote their name.
Their first kindergarten writings.  Favorite stories they wrote.....
Then the scrapbooks were filled, now what?

I started putting them into a three ring binders,  until the binders got too full!

Last year I came across this awesome tip!
You can lay out 4 of those papers and snap a picture, a digital picture.

You have the memory and you get rid of the paper clutter.

Later, you can decide if it is worth keeping.
If your child ever wants to print the picture, they can decide.
