if you're a sketch user - how do you keep your sketches organised?
mine are a mess. I started out with an index card box with sketches on the cards...I've outgrown that and it recently got dropped and the cards scattered. I have a folder with some printouts of sketchtember and sketchy saturday sketches. I have a digital folder with some download sketches/sketch e-books.
But what I want is a single spot (preferrably digital so I can access from multiple devices) where I can have ALL of them and be able to sort by number of photos - and hopefully be able to note the source (ie Sketchtember 2020 #24 or SketchSavvy or PageMaps...)

I used to have a binder with all my sketches organized by number of photos. I decided to get rid of it because I wasn't using it and now I just store the sketches I find on the web on Pinterest. The ones I have to download I just have them all in a folder on my computer.
I would think something like Evernote might work for what you want, having access from different computers/phones/etc. You can tag each entry with whatever you want (like number of photos, who made the sketch, etc).

I use a binder and sort by # of photos. I have a separate 'folder' on my computer with digital sketches, sorted the same way. I can pick either location and see what inspires me
On my computer, I have a system that looks like:
Sketches >>8 1/2 x 11 or 12x12 >>number of photos
I also drop any digital photo of a layout I like into folders, sorted by number of photos.

I save all of mine to my MacBook. I include the number of pages and photos in the file name. That way I can easily search for a sketch depending on how many photos I have for that particular event.
This is an example of what my Sketches folder looks like:
1 page 1 photo 01 PageMaps Sep 2020
1 page 1 photo 02 Sketch Savvy Mar 2015
1 page 3 photo 01 PageMaps Aug 2020
1 page 3 photo 02 Scrapbook Generation
1 page 3 photo 03 Basic Grey
1 page 3 photo 04 Basic Grey
1 page 3 photo 05 Sketch Savvy 94
2 page 6 photo 01 Basic Grey
2 page 6 photo 02 Sketch Savvy
2 page 7 photo 01 PageMaps Feb 2019
2 page 9 photo 01 Allison Davis Mar 2020
ETA: the folder is in my iCloud so I am able to access it from my MacBook, my PC, my phone, DSO's iPad etc etc.

Another vote for Evernote. I also print a hard copy and file them by number of photos.

Anything I have printed/saved are on 8.5x11 paper and in a binder - they are semi organized by # of photos per layout, but mostly a mismash. I ripped apart the Scrapbook Generation books and put them in a binder as well - they are all organized by # of photos per layout.

I just use plastic templates. I have a bunch of them, maybe 15; purple, clear and green. By turning them around each has 8 layouts. Now that I figured out 24 X 24 pages, they don't work for me anymore.

I put them on a paper by number of photo's and that goes into a sheet protector in a binder. I have tabs for 1 photo, 2 photo, etc
So I can just keep adding pages as I get more sketches.
