I get bored so easily that after one card, I'm ready to move onto something else. What I DO do, however, is post almost every card I make to my blog. That is MY way of keeping tract of the things I've done and if I do want to create another like one I've done before, I have a picture of it to refer back to.Lynn Mercuriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818039926222392380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34546850.post-68430917218328891132007-06-04T11:16:00.000-06:002007-06-04T11:16:00.000-06:00Nancy, I have saved so many of my cards and proje...Nancy, I have saved so many of my cards and projects over the past few years, that I am now becoming overwhelmed with all of them.

And, I've kept many as samples. But now that such a huge number of my sets are retiring I'm getting rid of a ton of samples. I'll keep the ones I've made to give away to family and friends, the rest I'm offering to my small group of customers. As I've decided to give up my website, I think I'll continue to scan or take pictures of my cards, but I don't feel the need to keep one of every card I make as I have a record on my computer.Heather Leechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312884574041932954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34546850.post-56347336336663427402007-06-03T19:12:00.000-06:002007-06-03T19:12:00.000-06:00I don't keep duplicates of what I've made.

Since then I've been mainly just scanning my cards & printing out a copy of the card so that I have a record of them. If I really like a card & have only made 1 of it then I do tend to sometimes keep them around until I finally decide I am able to part with it.

Yeah, there are a few that I just love so I keep one but I normally end up using it eventually. I can see a big change in my work and I'd be shamed to send some of beginning cards now.

I guess I'm just a natural-born hoarder, as my mother and my grandmother were too. :) However, I've started giving my cards away, especially when I'm in a "crunch" and needing a card. If I have time, I make one especially with the receiver in mine, but we don't always have time to do that, do we? I take macro photos of my cards and post them on Webshots and save them to a CD. That way, I or any of my "students" can check the Webshots site and I always have the backups in case my computer crashes.Karen Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864219047535702744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34546850.post-42239180561699640632007-06-02T10:41:00.000-06:002007-06-02T10:41:00.000-06:00I scan the cards I make and send out.

When the time comes to mail them, I definately have to remind myself that I have a picture to remember. My other tip is to change the name of the file of the photo to the name of the person you gave it to so that you don't duplicate. Then I could, if I wanted, check up to make sure they kept it!! :)Laura Hithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881436967736114013noreply@blogger.com
