That I've gotten over the years. Hundreds. SVGCuts has this thing when they come out with a new kit, it's free when you spend at least $9.98. That's a hard bargain to pass up. So, I haven't. And then there's SVGAttic.com, I picked up a lot of her stuff before she went into partners with Lori Whitlock. At one point, she had a going out of business sale and everything was a .99 or less. I stocked up.
And here I am with all of these files and it's gotten to the point that I don't know what I've got. I've tried organizing in the past, but I got nowhere with it. Just printed a bunch of graphics.
But now...now, I have a plan. I spent the weekend printing out the main photo of every kit and every set of elements, the photo that has all of the items in the kit in the same photo. And these prints are captioned with the file name (I used Picasa, a free graphic program). The prints are in alphabetical order. Yesterday, I ordered a huge binder and seperators. I will put these prints into my binder.
And I'm going to make a list sheet. The names of the pages will be listed and will tell me at a glance what a certain kit has. If it has regular cards or box cards or lever cards or waterfall cards. If it's summer themed or baby themed or winter themed or birthday themed, I'll know. If I have the PDF file (which shows all the SVG files for each kit and the paper needed) printed. If there is some specialty item, like a haunted mansion or a ferris wheel or a hot air balloon...
I figure I can get fifteen or twenty kits listed on a page.
It will take a while, but it should make this a lot easier.
