Clipart Addicts Anonymous


Hi! I'm Sandy. And I'm addicted to clipart. 

I don't know about you, but I LOVE my clipart!!! Problem is, I haven't always been the *best* at organizing it. (If you're reading between the lines here- I really have no idea what I have! And I have a lot!) 

In an attempt to organize myself here, from now on, before I click "Purchase" on any more clipart, I quickly fill out my Google Spreadsheet! 

I have a column for the artist's name, their logo (for when I need to create a credits page), a preview of the clipart pack, any tags to help me easily find it again!!!, and the store link (again- for credits page.) 

To get the picture of the logo and the preview, I just take a screen shot! That's Command, Shift, 4 on a Mac! 

Here's an awesome tip from Blair Turner about screen shooting! #gamechanger! 

You MUST follow her on Instagram @onelessonatatime 

To get the picture into the field, there are a few quick steps.

I'll walk you through all of the steps in the video below! 


You can also follow the steps here! (And download them HERE if you'd like!) 






Your image will appear in the box, will stay where it's supposed to if other columns are rearranged, and will format to fit the size of the box! 

Then you go quickly go through and fill out the rest of the boxes. 

And don't forget to watch the video above! There are some great tips on how to quickly find something that you're looking for using Google Spreadsheets! 

Now, tell me! How do you organize your clipart!?!?!? 
Who are your favorite clipart artists!?!?!?!?

PS- Happy Labor Day!
