That is really interesting Cindy! I love the idea of pulling the previews out, that way you can see what you have without digging like crazy!

Wow, that's amazing, thank you for sharing your secret, Cindy!
I think I'll try that. After all, it's a way I can "cuddle" a bit with my stuff...

Wow, that's quite an impressive system, Cindy! I like your idea of pulling out the previews. I have a good handle on what I have, but having the previews all in one spot is a really good idea. I'm like Meg, I'm a kit scrapper, but occasionally I do use other things too.

Cindy, when you copy some elements into your "elements" folder from their original kit, do you rename them or label them somehow so you can find where they originally came from (for credits)?

Thanks!

Oh I'll just have to jump in here and tell you how much I love Cindy's work too - she is simply amazing!

Cindy, you've now totally inspired me to get organized that way!!

Most stuff nowadays is labelled with the designer name, then the kit name, then element name: eg.....hroselli-tikiboom-flower1.
If it wasn't I would probably rename it with at least the designers name in it....
HTH!

You all sure know how to make a person feel good! Thank you for all the nice compliments!

WOW!!! What an undertaking this is!! I just started about an hour ago and my eyes are already starting to cross!! LOL!! It will definitely be worth it though!!

Hopefully I can get a new EHD this month so I can finally start organizing--I never even thought to duplicate elements and keep stuff in their original kits! I just broke most of my stuff into separate element folders and paper folders, but I like your system a lot, Cindy. TFS!!! I was also considering getting ACDSee because I like the idea of tagging stuff. Do you girls really recommend it?

[EveRecinella]

Your my scrap hero chika-poo!!

I recently started breaking my stuff up very similar to this.. but I just create a "shortcut" for each item and leave my original kits intact so that I don't use space for duplicate elements.
