to clear out my "to scrap" folder before DSD...well, I probably won't get it cleared out but I plan on really working on it. I have SOO many kits in there that I haven't used yet. I usually try to use a kit 2 times before moving it out of that folder. I have got to before I add anything more to it and I KNOW I'll be adding to it this weekend! lol So I'll be scrapping like crazy this week :)
 
GO Nikki GO! WOOT!!

I'm so slammed with CT stuff for this week. But I'm also slammed at work. NOT COOL. And then at home, I'm addicted to facebook and Make Me A Celebrity. I didn't even get Tigers Halloween costume fixed :(
 
I think I need to create a folder like that Niki. Over the weekend, I was clearing and making space and found so many great kits that had never been used (ie I purposely used two SP's kits on the last two challenge LO's I did). I am trying to do one LO with a new kit and one LO with an older kit every few days.

I need to get my kaboodle cleaned up and strategize how Saturday is going to work for me.
 
It does help to keep track of what I've used and what I haven't...when I buy something I unzip it to a "sorting" folder...then I go through and organize what I've bought...I go through each kit/element pack and copy anything I think I'll use more than once to my elements folder into the proper subcategory...then once it's sorted I move the new kit to my "to scrap" folder and it stays there until I've used it at least 2 times..that way I feel like I've gotten my money's worth kwim?
 
I started keeping a folder of my new stuff a couple of months ago and it's helped out tremendously! I've been better at using my kits twice, and it makes it so much easier to keep up with what I've bought and still need to use. Of course, there's no way to clear it out before DSD, though! :)
 
I had a similar type of folder called "New Downloads" until we had to repair my laptop. Now I'm having to re-organize my stuff, so it's gone by the wayside. Fortunately I haven't bought a ton of stuff lately. But we (DH and I) are waiting for full organization until we get the EHDs (early Christmas present to ourselves).
I'm just trying to get enough LOs done for the Sweet Rewards. I'm going to be spending most of DSD cleaning (for a party) anyways... :thumbdown:
 
i have a folder like that too, it's dwindling down though (i only use them once though before moving out). thank goodness...only because i haven't shopped much outside my ct kits. you have no idea how much pressure there is being a babe and not being a fast scrapper. no idea...LOL!! :D

i have like 10 kits total that i need to use. gonna use them all today...:blink:
 
Good luck on the pre-DSD scrapathon! I'm on a pre-DSD mission too, but it's to finish the last 3-4 LOs for DS2's 1 year old album and get the rest of my recent photos organized into my "To Be Scrapped" folder. (So why am I here surfing and why can't I leave? :confused: )
 
I have a new stuff folder, but I use it as a space to keep all new things (bought and CT, though I havent bought much the past 2 months) that haven't been backed up onto my 2nd EHD. Then I can just drag and drop them into their appropriate folders, instead of going folder by folder trying to figure out what isn't on the 2nd EHD. I can generally keep my new CT stuff upfront in my head.
