I just have to say that I am really finding the Color My Life app so useful. I am logging all of my stamps, dies, and embossing folders and creating tags for each one - the tagging is the most important part for me because it helps me find specifically what I'm looking for.
For instance, I have to make a first communion card today for my nephew. Instead of going through all of my stamp sets to look for something appropriate, I knew I wanted to do some kind of bird or dove on the card - so I just searched for "dove" in my app and it came up with the sets that I have that have a dove image in them. I can see the stamp set right in the app and can view the images and see which dove image is the one I want, and then in my listing for that set it tells me where its stored - in the "Birds & Butterflies" section for instance. I have a dove image stored in the Christmas category, too, so I would have missed that stamp if I was just searching manually.
I also tagged each stamp set with the sentiments in the set so I can look up specific words that I want to use. It also lists matching dies for it.
I try to keep track of who I send cards to and which stamp set I used so I don't send duplicate cards, so under the stamp set listing in the app I can add a photo of the card I made. I can add the name of the recipient to the app in the tagging section if I want (or I can just add it right to the photograph in photoshop before I upload the image to the app).
I had a question/suggestion for the owners of the app last week and emailed it to them, and they got back to me right away - on a Saturday night.
Just wanted to say how impressed I am with it, and how handy it's been. I have purchased duplicate items in the past and I think this is a way I can avoid that in the future, too.
