Organizing Digital Scrapbooking Kits and Supplies

Hello, I want to share some knowledge that I came across this weekend that has made my life so much easier. I got the information from  www.lifehacker.com . This has helped me so much. When I started digital scrapbooking, I had a difficult time figuring out how to organize them. I tried making folders and tried organizing them with photoshop organizer and for some reason, I could not figure it out. It just wouldn't work for me.
