Published pages - what to do with them?

I have 20-30 scrapbook magazines that have pages of mine in them that have been published. I love that they’ve been published but I don’t know what to do with them - they take up a lot of room and finding them the magazine again once it’s been a few years is time consuming lol

You are all super creative so wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I could store or display these better? Like should I tear the pages out with my pages and keep the cover? Put them in a binder? I can’t think of any creative ideas.
 
I would display them in frames and put them on the wall and keep the cover in a binder.
Maybe even in different sizes as well, just for fun
 
Oh no don't tear it Trina!:cry: I know what you mean but it's collector!:p
Maybe you could scan the page with your layout and frame it and stock the magazine elesewhere?
I love magazines lol so I'm not a good helper with this!:D
 
Mine are in a box in the garage...haven't looked at them in a really long time. I might snap a pic and scrap them. Then toss the magazines. I have books too! I will probably keep those.
 
ahhhh-hmmmm I used to be on team for a scrapbook magazine and have several years worth of magazines in boxes under my bed. I never look at them but can't imagine parting with them. Maybe I need therapy lol?
 
If you have an album with a section that's dedicated to you personally - your hobbies, the different kinds of work you've done, etc - then it's a bit meta but really cool to do as @jagruti patel suggests and scrapbook them. I could see you saving the magazine's cover as well as the page(s) your layout(s) is/are on and either creating a 2-page spread or placing them in 8.5x11 page protectors (even if they're slipped into a bigger album) front-to-back.

Alternatively, if you have a space that's dedicated to crafting & scrapbooking, I could also see you framing and hanging them on the walls. My father used to call that his "I Love Me" wall - covered with his diplomas and various awards from his military career - and it can be a lovely thing in your office or studio. Maybe a 2-up frame with two spaces for an 8x10 image, and then put the cover on the left and the page with your layout on the right...

Congratulations, by the way! And I definitely wouldn't just get rid of the magazines without creating some kind of permanent record for yourself, even if it's only to do a lay-flat photograph.
 
I have a couple of these ikea magazine holders that go into my cube shelf that stores all my published magazines & other crafty magazines that I pull out of inspiration:
