Hi I am a newbie here and I was wondering how you all organize your elements, backgrounds and stuff for digital scrapbooking? I have so much stuff that I seem to forget what I have. Thanks for you help!! :)

First off, wecome to DSP! It is such a friendly, helpful place! :p

Organizing - what a concept! Check this thread out for info:

I think everyone is trying to organize all their stuff, and this challenge has lots of good ideas. Start soon, and try to keep up with the organizing, or you'll get as far behind as me! :D I use Photoshop Album which came with my PSE 3 to keep track of all my downloaded elements and kits, but I keep forgetting my resolution to update it when I download new stuff - it's much more fun to play around with the new stuff!

Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your LO's in your gallery!

My advice to anyone starting out digi scrapping is to try and stay organised from day one (organised at least in a way you know how to find them)- because your collection of elements/backgrounds/kits grow by the day at a alarmingly wonderful rate!!!! good luck!!!
