    I'm just curious. I am going through my templates, trying to organize them a bit, or apply some tags, and was shocked to see how many templates I had in my folders... :giggle

    My templates are sorted by number of photos. Just in my "1 photo" folder, I have almost 600. What?! I don't even know how I got all those. Lol!

    I don't think I could count. :giggle I've been scrapping for Scrapping with Liz for a few years! Then add on free ones for the Template Challenge, Retired Designers, a slew of Fiddle Dee Dee lovlies, and then random ones. :)

    I've got 589 template preview images and some of them are of multiple templates, so probably more than 600 :) But then I've amassed them over the past ten years, so that's only 60 templates per year, right? :D

    I didn't actually count them... I looked at the number at the bottom of my folder. Like I said, that's just one of my templates folders. :giggle

    My main goal is trying to help reduce the choices when I start looking for which template to use. I can, and have, spent more time deciding on a template than actually scrapping the page! So when I start trying to look at what I have, so I can maybe categorize them some how, I was just staggered by how many I've collected. Lol!
    I regularly get at least 5/month between designers, challenges, etc. And I buy pretty ones. I still can't decide how to choose one! The separation by photo spots has saved me more time than it took to organize them in the first place, so I think further categories would be helpful, but. Yeah.... it's a lot!

    I have so many. That's actually what I miss most from the Great EHD Crash of 2014. I had so many old templates that I'd go to for a jump start. **sniffle** Rest in peace ten year old templates, rest in peace.

    Just in my TLP folder, doing a search for folders with "temp" in their names I get a result of 83.

    If I back out to my top level file, "Digiscrap Stash," the result is 304, but that is definitely lower than actual number of templates because I have a lot of folders with multiple templates inside.

    Well, I'll just start with my templates . . .

    220 sets at TLP at 4 templates per set = 880

    Then there are all template sets that I still haven't brought to TLP and there are 318 of them at 4 templates per set = 1272

    And there are the retired sets and there 176 of them at 4 templates per set = 704

    So all that is 2856! Yikes!

    That doesn't count my template freebies and store collabs and such, nor does it account for all the templates I have from other designers!

    And the crazy and amazing thing is that I still have so many ideas for templates and new ways of making layouts!

    This thread inspired me to make a layout. Just for fun I searched for my oldest templates by current TLP designers and found this one from Scrapping With Liz' Scrap Orchard days. :D

    I guess I'm not so bad then, only about 800 templates.

    I'm a template junkie. I have over 1500 just from TLP designers and probably double that on my old computer from various places, but I still want more! Thank goodness we have several FABULOUS template designers here at TLP to feed my template addiction. I know I have more templates than kits. Templates are the first thing I look for when the newsletters and sales come out. I think I have a medical condition...it's called template-collecto-itis! LOL

    Alot, I did CT work for several template designers who have since retired plus many more over the past 7 years. I don't think I want to count them. :eek::giggle

    @klee73010 Well, pretty much any of my templates are my style and so I'll just go for multiple photos or single photos, depending on my mood. I don't have them tagged that way right now (it's a work-in-progress), but I know most of my sets so I can grab what I need. I do tend to just scrap without a template, because loads of times those layouts feed creativity for me and help me make more templates!

    @klee73010 Since I CT for a template designer, I usually just use the new releases to make my pages. When I am in the mood, I scroll through the template previews until I find something that fits the photos that I have, then go to the specific template folder. Most of my templates are of a particular style since the bulk of them are from one designer.

    Oh I feel better, I don't have that many but I probably have half of yours so that's a lot. Don't think I'll count.
