Default Organizing Scrap Kits

What program do you use to organize all your scrap kits...I have sooo many and I need a way of keeping track of them

sadly, I don't use a program to organize them.

Each designer has their own folder with a folder for each of their kits. That's about as good as organization that I have as far as it comes to scrapbooking products.

My husband is a software developer and he developed a program especially for me called digiscrap catalog. I love how it works and it makes it really easy to find that one certain kit or themed kit with the search option The program is free and you can get it through the fb group I linked to Hope that's alright.

here's a screenshot of the program.....

You are most welcome !! I use this program everyday....I have created several catalogs: for SSD, for all my templates, for my layouts etc. It's a really good way of keeping track of your stash for sure.

I have a big scrap folder. Inside there are subcategories for Templates and then kits by theme. I have Christmas kits, Life - Mundane, Life - Positive, Life - Sad/Grieving, Childhood, Family, Home, other holidays, etc. Each kit is sorted by theme. Inside that theme each kit has a folder. SSD kits are marked with a '~' symbol at the beginning to bring them to the top of my kits. Since I really only do challenges here, it is easier to find them that way.

In my templates folder, the themed ones are pulled into separate subfolders. The rest have a number in front of them based on the number of photo slots available. If I have 4 photos I want to scrap, I scroll down to the 4's and look for the template that catches my eye.

I will check out the software! I like the system I used (I am pretty sure Traci Reed posted about something similar) but am always open to changes.

I use Bridge which is free with Photoshop. It does something similar to what it looks like Biancka DH built for her.

I love it

Wow - Biancka! I'll have to check that out - I used to be great at knowing what i have, but the info is getting pushed out of my memory with other things.

I typically organize by categories as I'm mainly a theme scrapper. My templates are way more organized as they are grouped by number of photos on the template or if it's a theme like "Christmas." I usually end up searching my computer for "umbrella" and see what kit pops up with an umbrella in it... It works great until I need a "car" and hundreds of results come back with journaling cards. haha

I've been organizing just in folders. It works fairly well. I have organizing/tagging in both PSE and ACDSee.
I got frustrated with ACDSee when my computer crashed and the info wouldn't transfer to the new computer even with a back up.
PSE tended to crash when I used the Organizer, so I stopped using that.
I've been told that Bridge is good & easy to use.
I'm going to take a look at your program, too, Biancka! Thank you so much for sharing!!

I just use a big digiscrap kits folder on my desktop, and a digiscrap pages folder in my pictures folder. The digiscrap kits folder is broken down. Last year I reorganized everything by item. I have a papers folder that is broken down by colors, an elements folder broken down by type such as flowers, string, stamps, buttons, etc. I only broke down my old stuff in that way. My new stuff goes in folders like "Nov 2018 new stuff". Once I use it a few times, then I (will later) break it down into the category folders.

I once tried going through and tagging in Bridge, but I just have way too many kits and it would take me too long to complete!

I'm on a Mac and I use the tag function. I add the product image and tags right after download so everything is immediately organized. I add tags for type (i.e. template, stitches, unused, etc), designer, store and themes. It's just a few key strokes per product. I'm mostly a kit scrapper so I'm very rarely looking for specific elements.

Does anyone use Bridge on a Mac? I have been trying to use PSE organizer but I'm getting so frustrated with it crashing and slowing down my whole computer. I have a CC subscription so Bridge is an option if it will work for my huge collection of kits.

I got SO tired of the PSE organizer crashing!
I've been told that Bridge works really well and is easy to use. I just haven't taken the time to try it out.
Let us know what you think if you do try it.

My kits are organized by designers or by store. Except for my Disney kits. Those are organized by theme- princess, food, travel, fab 5, pirate, Fantasyland, Toy Story, Animal Kingdom etc.

I started by sorting the mess that was my digifile on my external drive and I've started setting up bridge but I think I have a lot to learn. At least it doesn't seem to crash my computer though!

I was pretty satisfied with my folder classification but since your hubby created something just for scrapbooking supplies I'm gonna have to check it out!
Thank you so much Biancka!!

I have kits in folders by store and then title of kit, with designer name too. I also have a file with kit previews that I sometimes go through if I'm looking for certain colors etc to find the kit that works best. It's not perfect by any means. Yesterday I sorted all my templates (over 2000!) into folders by blocked templates or 1, 2, 3 and 4 + photo spots. We'll see if that helps save time.
Can't wait to check out your program Biancka - though I'm not sure if it would work for a Mac?
I also never heard of Bridge, will have to try that out too! So glad I checked this thread!

This is almost what I do-- My folders are Store: Designer (also one called Collabs): Kit. I figured that store name & designer are always on the kit preview.
I have a Kit Previews folder & within that I have most separated out into folders--one for each kid, one for Kids, Travel (with a Disney subfolder), Everyday, Seasons(subfolders for each + Christmas), etc. I'll check the most obvious folder first, but go to another one if I don't find just what I want.
I also have a template previews folder --I rename all of the previews by adding 01, 02, 03, etc. based on how many photos.
And recently added a card previews folder-- found that this was super helpful for PL weeks that I didn't get many photos.

Sadly no. With sickness and emergency surgery, I’ve not had a chance to even install it yet! It’s on my ever-growing to do list

Oh I'm not complaining, Biancka! I wouldn't expect your husband to program for your friends! LOL I was just letting other people know in case there are other Mac users! I think it's so cool that he made it for you - that's love! There's a valentine's day page for you!

I don't!

I do keep track of the kits I've already used and the ones I haven't but I don't track by theme, etc. I've downloaded Biancka's husband's program but haven't tried it out yet -- maybe this weekend!

I am still using it and I do love it. Unfortunately my big problem is that my supplies is a mess so I am trying to organize and clean out.

My taste has changed so I have some kits that I know I will never use so I have decided to just purge.

I gave adobe bridge a chance but it still didn't feel right for me. I've now given in and am using lightroom which I had originally wanted to keep just for photos. It is working quite well but I have so much to tag... all in good time.

Thank you, I know.......that if he did have a Mac, he would've already developed this program for Mac users as well And yes, I am very lucky that he made this program for me...I just wish I thought about asking him way sooner than I had......I found a lot of duplicate kits that I bought. LOL

If you are going to tag all the kits, yes.......it's going to take a while but it is well worth it. I do have to admit, I do not tag my collection....I use it to find a certain kit or theme/color and that is enough for me. It also prevents me from buying a kit for a second time (which I have done plenty in the past before stores reminded me I'd already purchased a certain item in my cart).

Yes I can see that being really helpful.

So what categories do you give each of your kits? just theme and color?

I have to say THANK YOU!!! I have just downloaded this over the weekend and have spent the last couple of days cleaning up my stash. I already had everything sorted by theme...ie Christmas, Winter, halloween, disney, travel, outdoors, games etc BUT I started using the tags in this and DELETING kits! Oh my goodness! I have freed up over 100 GB of storage on my computer and deleted over 100 kits/freebies. When I started 8 or 9 years ago I was on every CT I could find and grabbed every freebie I could get and oh my goodness there were some doozies in my stash. I am still not done but I am excited about being able to find stuff now. I can now search for a topic like dinosaurs or camping and pull all kits that match that or search sweet shoppe and pull all my kits or a designer etc. Thank you for this resource. It is so easy to use. My OCD is so excited.

I have freed up over 100 GB of storage on my computer and deleted over 100 kits/freebies. When I started 8 or 9 years ago I was on every CT I could find and grabbed every freebie I could get and oh my goodness there were some doozies in my stash. I am still not done but I am excited about being able to find stuff now. I can now search for a topic like dinosaurs or camping and pull all kits that match that or search sweet shoppe and pull all my kits or a designer etc. Thank you for this resource. It is so easy to use. My OCD is so excited.
Ooooh, you are too kind and you are so welcome !! I am still loving the program too. Husband is working on a new version (something to do with the platform it runs on...I don't know. LOL) and once I have tested & approved it...I'll be uploading it the Facebook group for sure I am just thrilled that other scrappers from the program as usefull as I do.

My system is super similar.

I have a Themes folder and Basics folder, then within the themes are kits and templates, word art, etc. for each each.

Basics holds everything non-themed. Templates folder has subfolders for double, single, and pocket, then within double and single, they're sorted by number of photos. I also have folders in Basics for alphas, generic elements like buttons, flowers, ribbons, etc., papers, text paths, etc.

I'm definitely going to check out the software posted, though. I'm an organization nerd, lol.

SSD kits are marked with a '~' symbol at the beginning to bring them to the top of my kits. Since I really only do challenges here, it is easier to find them that way.

In my templates folder, the themed ones are pulled into separate subfolders. The rest have a number in front of them based on the number of photo slots available. If I have 4 photos I want to scrap, I scroll down to the 4's and look for the template that catches my eye.

I will check out the software! I like the system I used (I am pretty sure Traci Reed posted about something similar) but am always open to changes.
