You could also just do a file search for the item, as most designers label embellishments with the name. You can tag files in both Leopard/Snow Leopard and Vista.

I am still kinda new to digiscrapping (I only started in December) and I am a freebie-holic. I've recovered from downloading everything I come across, and realized what I don't use (like QP's) but I still am able to stumble across dozens and dozens of freebies everyday. I am getting better at it, and this article will help me stay in check. Thanks again for this article! :] Also, do you know is there is a way to tag your items withing using an organization software? I organize mine by designer name and kit, but I also want a way to just look at one type of item (like staples or frames), without having to search through everything. Do you know if there is an easy way to do that? Thanks! Thank you for this article! I am still kinda new to digiscrapping (I only started in December) and I am a freebie-holic.

NOW I can bookmark it...:) :) As a recovering freebie-aholic, I have at least stopped madly downloading freebies but the purging process is not going so well for me. It's true that you need to schedule time to go through the stuff and decide if it's worth keeping. In the meantime, if I stumble across something in my stash that is ugly, I mark it with one-star (which means ready for deletion) and then every once in a while, I will review all the one-star and finally delete them. It's a start and purging is a process, exactly as you say! Thanks for sharing this excellent article on your blog. NOW I can bookmark it…:) :)
