How do you organize your Silhouette Cameo/XD cutouts?

I usually only cut a few pieces of pep at a time, with Designer open I use "check corresponding face" and just cut the next piece I need. It's easy to keep the carstock together, I don't lose anything, and I can generally find the next piece pretty quickly.

However, using a Cameo, all the pieces are cut, and I have an organizational challenge. Trying to find some of the long narrow strips (among the 4 trillion long narrow strips that make up the Sharkman pep) is.....interesting.

Anybody else have this issue? How do you stay organized?

I'm attacking your threads! I just stick a piece of masking tape to a sheet protector you use in a binder with what page the parts are from and stick them in there. Granted I had a box of these lying around from when I never used them in college. Amazon.com: Avery Top Loading Non-Glare Poly Sheet Protectors 100 Count (74102): Office Products When I'm done just remove the tape and stick on a new piece for the next project.

Well, at least somebody is reading them. :)

Good idea with the masking tape. Today I bought one of those check sized accordion files. I'll put the page number in the tab, and put the pieces in there until they're needed. That way, I can at least find them according to page number (which narrows it down considerably).
 
did you put the edge id#'s on them? and use the viewer to match parts?
also if you foam build ou can cut out by hand and dont need to be so specific about cuts.
