Looking for an nifty vintage rolodex to start your own scrapodex?
I came across this nice one in pristine condition and have just added to my etsy shop
I love the aqua tabs on this one
click here for more picures and details - etsy shop Sold, I will keep an eye out for another
the scrapodex that I am working on is getting full
it's to the point that I will need to take the blank cards out to figure how many finished page that it will take to fill it
I want it full and chunky but not so full that the pages will not flip easily
once I have all the cards with background, I will go back and add to each card with more collage
I have my father's old rolodex from years ago; plan to use it for all those old pix of him stored in a "shoe box" (!)before he passed away. Thank you for sparking a great project--I can see him with a lil' flip of a card.....Julierose

Inspired by your earlier scrapodex posts, I bought one on ebay and did some cards. Then it languished. Now you are renewing my interest. I have two questions: (1) do you work on both sides of a card at the same time, before setting it aside? (2) Are you "fussy" about the little openings for the cards to sit on the "dex"? (I bought the little punch but it seems resistant to nice work). What do you do? Hey....how about a nice little scrapodex online workshop? You are amazing in your ability to be so productive with limited supplies in a restrictive workspace. Keep it up!!!!

Your rolodex looks gorgeous already and it's getting more beautiful every time you add something to it!
