I don't tag ANYTHING by color. Not even papers. *gasp* I don't scrap by color, and it takes soooooooooooo long to tag by color that if you really are not going to use that system, it's a huge waste.

I do the same with fasteners in that I rarely use any kind of fastener but staples and stitches, so while staples and stitches have their own separate category, everything else like buttons, photo prongs, etc. are just lumped together in a generic fasteners category.

I'm posting this in case there are any other 'weirdos' out there who scrap like me so I can save them some potential grief from categorizing more than they need to.

Holy moly, woman! That would drive me crazy!

I must admit that it would save me SOOOOOOOO much freakin' time if I did it your way, though...

LOL! Thanks for the enlightenment LA

I'm THAT OCD about tagging (even though I don't tag enough, it's all in my head), that if I were to look for a blue button it would drive me insane to have to look through all the other colors.

I don't TOTALLY scrap by color, but definitely do it enough to make it worthwhile. But you're definitely right in that if you've never scrapped by color it's a waste of time.

ACDSee 10 Photo Manager seemed to be popular with my friends. (Photo gallery viewer / picture manager / simple photo editor.) I started a 30 day trial, which is coming to an end. I went to their website to see how much it would cost me, and I found that they're running a 40% off special. (Normally $50, now $30.)

Of course, being a Slickdealer, that wasn't enough for me. So I went searching for an additional coupon code at checkout. Yup. 20% off of $30 with coupon code "10PM20". Remove the download service from the card, and the final price is $24 to register. Basically, half off the normal price.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I just bought my copy for $23.99!!!

LA is soooo right! Tagging by color can be a HUGE PITA if you don't scrap that way.

I used to have my embellies tagged by color too. Then I realized that most of the time I'm not looking for a blue button or a red flower. I want to look at all my Buttons or all my flowers Flowers. So I took the color tags off the embellies. I just use color for the papers - because that's how I roll LOL!

Someone else asked about stripes or multi-colored paper. I tag my striped paper with {GASP} Stripes

If the paper has 2 colors, I might tag both colors, but usually not. I usually tag it with the predominant color. If I can't figure out what the predominant color is, then I use another really useful category: Multi

I know...very original
