Clipart and Font Organization

Hi my name is Sara and I have a clipart and font addiction.  Who's with me?!  Ok, hands down.  

I am a very visual person and as much as I love using the computer, I have a hard time viewing things on the screen.  I need a hard copy in front of me.  It's more of a processing difficulty than a visual one.  I hated searching through all my clipart and fonts to find just the right one for my project.

Insert my most favorite thing ever...my Clipart & Fonts binder!!  I can't take credit for the idea, I borrowed it from Katie at Teacher to the Core.

The front holds all my fonts.  Nothing fancy.  I have the artist name at the top of each page and then I type each font name in its' actual font style.  Does that make sense?  Some bloggers, such as A Cupcake for the Teacher, provide a preview for you.

If an artist, such as Kimberly Geswein, has a font that is images, I print out the pdf map of the images.

Then comes the clipart!  Again, I have the artist name at the top of each page.  I have the pages in my binder alphabetically, by artist.  Some artists have multiple pages!

When I purchase new clipart, I add the preview picture of the set to my powerpoint file.  I don't reprint the page every time I get new clipart.  I usually only go through and print pages every few months or so.  Unless I know that I am going to use the clipart right away and want to view all the images.

I'm not going to lie, this binder was a lot of work to make.  However, it has made my creating process SO much easier!  It was definitely worth it.  I keep this binder with me all the time and use it every single time I make a product.  I know this is not for everyone, but I hope that some of you find it useful!
