Pocket Source Blog Hop - Organization!

Welcome to The Pocket Source Blog Hop!

You should have come here from Krista's blog.

Today's hop is to help you with organization!  I have my system for organizing my digital files.  Even if you are a paper scrapper, you likely have a stash of freebies or some cut files from different store in your computer.  I can give you some suggestions for them!

I tried when I started to organize by a number system of folders that went some thing like this:
1.Bows_Ribbons_String
2.Buttons_Brads_etc
3.Journal_Cards
4.Paper_Packs

5.Embellishments

and so on

But this meant splitting up kits and once I had my favorite designers and knew which kits held what item, the old list became a PAIN.  Now,

I have a folder named Scrap.  In that folder, I have a little system.  My own files and tools and things have folder names that start with 1.  I need those at the top.  Then, named 2. are my favorite designers and stores.   I have other things such as cut files, fonts, PSE styles and brushes, etc, named with 3. and on. 

Another helpful folder I have is New Stuff.  In the New Stuff folder, I have folders for each month and I put freebies in there until I can organize them. 

Here is a look at one of my favorite designers Paislee Press.  Under (Liz) her folder. I name element folders with an e. cut files with c. journal cards with j. kits with k. overlays, templates, and word art. 

And here is a look inside a store folder (Pixels & Co.)  I usually have a few things from every designer in my favorite stores.  So I put all their stuff in a folder by designer.  Then, if the designer moves stores, I just move the folder to the new store. 
I also have folders in each store for collaboration kits and challenges. 

An of course, here is my Becky Higgins folder
I have the kits labeled for Mini, Core, and theme, I also keep my AC Digitals files in this folder just because it's easy for me to keep Amy, Maggie, and Dear Lizzy all in one place.  You will notice I have a folder for Vintage Travel.  Now, this kit isn't available in digital format, but I don't want to forget that I have that set. (and maybe it will be available in digi someday?)  I also don't have Plus One or Styleboard yet, but I know I will buy them and I added folders when I bought Day Dreamer. 

It may take some playing around, but you can find a system that works for you if you base it on what you use the most.
