Brilliance!

I just had a stroke of genius! I find that when I am working on scrapbook pages I often miss out on a great embellishment that I have. This is mainly due to the fact that I have so many wonderful ones, but only have a small drawer in which to cram them all into. I forget what I have and what would go with what. I also find that I spend most of my pre-planning searching the Internet for cute layout ideas. So, I've decided to put two and two together. My newest project is to create a picture file of all the scrapbook embellishments I have! Rather than scanning them all in, I'll just find them on the Internet and save the pictures that way. Once I've completed this project, the idea will be that when I'm online perusing idea pages, I can click over to my embellishment file and see if I currently have an embellishment that will work for that. I'll be able to find it quickly and effortlessly instead of having to dump out my entire drawer looking for something that I'm not even sure I have. Somewhere down the road I see an intricate file/number system so that once I find my embellishment on my computer, I'll know what file/sub file to locate the physical embellishment under.

Erika...I'm sure you're thinking I could avoid all of this by scrapbooking digitally, and you're probably right :) but I just love creating my own pages still. I'm sure I'll get to the digital scrapbooking eventually :) LOL
