Deb C. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 June 14 Speedbump complete Because of this speedbump, I just backed up my scrapping supplies to my EHD. I keep a "scrapbooking" folder, which is divided into collections. Christmas collections and freebies are their own folder with the scrapbooking folder. Besides collections, I have folders for papers, templates, and embellishments. I keep my Club purchases separate and labeled according to date. I keep the marketing layouts with the collections, too. I've made two recent changes that are working well. First, I download everything into a "needs to be backed up" file, then copy to the Scrapbooking file. That way I know what new and needs to be moved to my EHD. They got moved today, so I'm up to date. The other thing I've been doing faithfully is using the PSE Organizer. I tag papers based on size, color, and pattern. Embellishments are based mostly on use. E.g., borders, swirls, round items and buttons, vertical items, horizontal items, and some other categories that I use a lot, for example, flowers, leaves, and ribbons. Sometimes I tag the same thing several ways -- for example a paper might be striped and also blue. I've tweaked my system a few times to make it work better, and right now I'm happy with it except for the increasing amount of scrap simple templates I'm purchasing, so it's good to read about what everyone else does. Great speedbump -- I'm glad to get some good ideas from everyone! I think you are the only other person I have ever seen on here who uses the PSE Organizer. I do too and I love it. A little work up front, but I can find my supplies so easily! If you have tons of scrapbooking supplies in your PSE Organizer, someone said it slows your computer or PSE down a lot. Have you found that to be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Task 12 Using the colors in your photos, find or create a color palette for your layout. You may use Syndee's color swatch action, find an existing palette in a SG boutique product or create your own using the eyedropper tool. Requirement is included in Task16. The University also has a great tutorial by Thao that you may like: Using Your Favorite Photos and Art to Choose a Great Color Scheme Reminder: There will be no tasks or speedbumps posted tomorrow (Sunday), the game will resume on Monday.

Florida granny Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Task 11 done. Task 12 done. I used Thao's tutorial. I never realized we could make our own color swatches in PSE! Very cool. Thanks for the tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Task #12 done. syndee's swatch action works great - but I need to relearn how it works every time I use it! The colour palette is rather muted - hope its not going to make a dull and muddy LO. I shall be away from the forum for a week so will catch up with you all on 24th June!

Have you found that to be true? It is a little slower than when I first got PSE 10, but not horribly so. I have over 20,000 items tagged in it and someone said on here one time they had 40,000 + items tagged in theirs. I don't keep a lot of photos in it. Only the ones that I am currently scrapping. I move supplies into the Editor from the Organizer (instead of opening them from their file) so I keep it open all the time. I go back and forth between the Editor and the organizer constantly. It does do some quirky things occassionally - like a week or so ago, Editor just quit on me, and of course I hadn't saved my work. (I have been compulsive about saving ever since!) Not sure if that is due to so many things in Organizer or not. I may try not keeping Organizer open like Dianne said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Task 13 done, I hope. Ladies: I love my photo (Task 11), but.... when I made the color swatch (Task 12), I realized my colors are pretty clashy. Ugh. So I'd love some advice. I think I'd like to go with the neutral grays that are in the photo as a background, and only use the colors-that-clash as accents. Does that sound too boring? I'd love to know how you solve the problem of clashing colors! Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenrou Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 http://store.scrapgi...2x12-Puppy-Love Link for Puppy Love for "Part of the Family" for Speedbumps done-I have always kept my collections together, but now I have begun separating another group into folders similar to Ro's method. I'm having a hard time finding things, since I've bought too much! Now I will have them together on an EHD and DVD's, plus a separate Scrapbook supplies of folders broken down into Papers, embellishments, masks, and others catagories. The Scrapsimple items, will stay together in one my clubs folders, but I will have a separate folder of folders, listing different types of items, like masks, layouts, alphs, word art, blenders, etc. This probably doesn't make sense...but maybe that's why I can't find anything.
