How can I keep track of all of my Simply Digital graphics and find what I'm looking for?

Sharon M. of Georgia has asked us a very good question...how to keep track of all the Simply Digital graphics she has collected via CD or download. The CDs and multitude of downloads are packed with so many graphics that it can become hard to remember where a favorite paper or embellishment might be.

In most of our Simply Digital CDs, there is an 8.5x11 printable image catalog in PDF format. An easy way to keep track of what you have might be to print this out for each of your CDs and place in a three ring binder. You can easily refer to your printouts when you want to find a particular paper or embellishment for your layout or project. The image catalog is accessible from the help.html file on the following CDs:

Simply Moments, Simply Elegant Albums, Simply Celebrations, Simply School Days, Simply Recreation, Simply Memories, Simply Kids, Simply Stated, Simply Vintage, Simply Sampler

In our recent download products, a graphic containing the contents of the kit is included in the downloaded zip file.

You can also refer to the CottageArts.net store and look at the View Contents section of each CD to see everything included. Each download product has a graphic showing the elements and papers included. Our gallery has a larger view of most everything in our store, as well.

Another viable option for PC users is to use Windows XP's search function, if you know you are looking for a specific kit name, paper, mat, frame, brad, ribbon, or tag, as CottageArts.net tries to be consistent and include these key words in the file names of our graphics. You can isolate search words by using the *, such as *frame* in the file name search field. This will result in any file that has the word frame in it.

Each of us has a method that we favor and are most comfortable using. We hope the options we have offered assist all of our customers in how you manage and keep track of your digital graphics collection.

Here's an article on our site for more tips on organizing downloads...
