And I Am Still…

…organizing. Yes, that’s right. Two days later and I’m still organizing my digifiles. However, I am EXTREMELY satisfied with the outcome thus far. Thanks to Gina for sharing how she does it, for I find that this works so much better for me! It is taking a long time b/c I have so many things I’ve downloaded, plus, I am making a concerted effort to make sure each file name is appropriately labeled.

Let me share a few pics!

As Gina, I have an overall list of folders with titles such as Alphas, Kits, Numbers ,Elements, Punctuation, etc. Then, within each folder, I have subfolders. I have the view customized so that I can see the preview page (if appropriate) or the first letter of the alpha/number set, or just several images of what is in it.

This is the view of my Kits folder. I am loving this. I can see all my colors right away and this gives me my initial inspiration. I keep all the pieces together in these folders.

I then make a copy of each piece of the kit and file it in the appropriate place. For example, within my elements folder, I have sub-folders for the different types: brads, tags, ribbons, staples, stitching, overlays and more:

And then, for viewing what I have in each subfolder, I switch the view to “Thumbnails” so I can see everyting. I have a Papers folder that has categories such as Patterned Paper, Solids, and Textured paper, as well as folders for various paper kits that I’ve collected:

And, this is a glimpse into my Word Art subfolder:

Again, credits to Gina for sharing her method!

DigiScrap Organization

Last night, I was catching up on Gina’s blog and read a post of hers where she described how she recently organized all of her digital stash on her computer. I love her system! I initially purchased DigiScrapRoom, but found that it did not work well for me - I was just not effective in using it and I wasn’t quite happy with how it operates. So, I have started getting all my folders organized and looking pretty and I am so, so happy!

Welcome to my new blog

Here we go again - -yet ANOTHER blog! Oh well, what can I say. I have so many different interests, I find that a separate blog for each one helps keep the site most relevant for the different online communities in which I share my hobbies. So, welcome to my DigiScrap blog!
