    I know I have a piece of word art that says, "You've GOT this!" But can I find it in my collection of over 5,000 pieces of wordart? NO! I've even tried finding it the Finder (iMac). This is always my problem with wordart. I love it, but it gets lost in Bridge or in the Finder. It is faster for me to make my own. :( Anyone else experience this, or have a solution? I guess I could make new categories for tagging. sigh. THAT sounds like a lot of work too.

    That is such a bummer! Can you think who made it? That could narrow down your search.
    I've started re-naming WA if it doesn't include the main word(s). That way I can search for it in the Windows search function. Plus I tag preview images with key terms. For example, a kit or WA pack with "you got this!" would probably be tagged "inspiration."
    So my help is more of a change in organization, which isn't exactly an easy thing to implement. :hide Good luck finding it! Oh! Have you tried searching the store? I found a WA tag in this ProjectMouseRun pack https://the-lilypad.com/store/Project-Mouse-Run-Word-Bits.html

    Some smart scrapper - I can't remember who! - told me she renames word art when she opens the kit. It takes about 5 minutes, but then she can always find it later!

    Me? I'm in your boat. I search wa and then hope I see what I want!

    Thanks gals. While you all were responding, I just made my own! On my to-do list: organizing wordart. (OH! Remember the artist????? I can't remember what day of the week it is! LOL)

    I always struggle to find wordart, which is why I rarely use it. If the kits I'm using have something suitable I use that, otherwise I create my own from fonts and or alphas.

    I always do a search, Courtney. I couldn't function without that. I think I'll get that High Five kit though - I really like it now that I take the time to look at it again. I was just laughing at myself recently and wondering if I'm the only one who buys a kit for one or two things it has in it? :crazy3

    That stinks! I hate when I know I have something, but can't find it. I'm not much help with word art though. I normally scrap my page, then look at the ellie packs I used on the page and see if any work for the page. If none of them work well for the page, that's when I just go with alphas and make my own.

    Nope!

    Do you know how many kits I've bought because they had a camera element that was adorable?

    @Cherylndesigns substitute "book or anything writing-related" for Courtney's camera and that's me. So you're in good company. :)
