When the kids were babies, I framed every piece of paper they scribbled on.

Now I surreptitiously try to throw them away.  Don't get me wrong, I love their artwork.  But there is just so much of it!

The guilt overcame me and I came up with two great ways to get rid of the clutter and keep [almost] all of their artwork.

1.  Scrapbook System: Buy a simple top load scrapbook from a craft store for each child and as the works of art come home, pick the best and slide them in.  Done!  I found some nice scrapbooks at A.C. Moore on sale for under $4 each that even had a place to slide in a picture on the front.  If your child is prolific, you may need a stash of these scrapbooks.
2. Digitize: Set aside a box and store the best artwork in it until it is full.  Then get out your digital camera and take close up pictures of each work of art.  Make digital slide shows, collages or even print photo flip books with Picasa, Snapfish or another program.
