There's an APP for Organizing Your Craft Supplies!

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

This looks easier than Airtable and another one that I don't remember name of. Thank you for this video!

[@cecieh]

This app looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing the info with us! I would love to see each step shown more slowly (I’m old!) and how to use all the features. Those of us who grew up before personal technology became available need a little more help, so that would be super helpful!

[@LoveJessCo]

Absolutely! I will definitely keep adding short tutorials to help you with those little steps!

How do you store Prismacolor pencils so you know which colors you have

[@LoveJessCo]

I don’t have my colored pencils in the app, but I would probably do them by the pack they’re sold in and then add a photo with your list of colors. You can always update the list as you get more. ❤️

[@annfafard9436]

Just curious @LoveJess do you still use & love the Color My Life App? If so would you do an updated video sharing your 4 year journey using the app? What You would do different if you were to start all over. How you use it on a day to day basis etc. Thanks!!!

[@LoveJessCo]

I haven't been using it in quite a while. I loved it, I kind of just got busy doing other things and it went to the back burner and I never went back. I've been wanting to get back to it and finish inputting all of my inventory, though!

[@juliamasch6247]

Thanks so much for the video! Not sure if you have any, but if you do, how do you handle monthly craft kits and/or “bundles”? Do you use tags? Also, is there a way to view in a list format without the image initially - I have A LOT of supplies (12 step program here I come 😀) so looking at a text list with the option of opening the image would potentially be easier for me as a first pass while shopping . Are you finding the “color” feature helpful? Looking forward to any future videos you’ll post on tips and techniques for using this app. Thanks again.

[@LoveJessCo]

Thanks, Julia! I don't have many kits, so I haven't explored putting those in, yet. That's a great idea, though! I would definitely use tags to help locate individual projects within the app.You can change the view to a grid image format or a 'list' image format, but I haven't found a way to sort solely by text list. That's a good option for them to have, though! I haven't used the color option too much yet, but I know it's going to come in handy the first time I need to check my patterned paper stash for something cute to use! :D

[@moreadsAlot]

How do you store the stamps, dies, etc? By manufacturer or assign tray/number?

[@LoveJessCo]

I store mine alphabetically by brand and then alphabetically by name of the stamp set. ❤️❤️

[@moreadsAlot]

Thanks!

[@cherylleffel6415]

Do you have the ability in the APP to add new category settings?

[@fancifulspaces1548]

I've never typed in the whole sentiment in any of the stash management programs I've used in the past, this is genius! I can't wait for this to come out on Andriod.

[@LoveJessCo]

Yay!! I think that's going to be the biggest help for me - then if I only remember it has 'boulder' in it but can't remember exactly what it says - it'll still come up!

[@amkarei]

@@LoveJessCo (( Psst! What does "

[@LoveJessCo]

@@amkarei

[@amkarei]

@@LoveJessCo Oh! Now I see it!! Tfs!

[@audreyhassett3511]

Is there a way to customize a few category names? For example, I’d like to add a category for borders.

[@amkarei]

Maybe just "tag" them & search that way? I'm guessing if your card needs that kind of feature, you already know that's what you're looking for?

[@channellingmartha1209]

Thanks for doing this video, I have been thinking about trying it but have been wanting to find out some more information. This was really helpful and I am looking forward to future videos.

[@LoveJessCo]

Yay! I am really enjoying it - I hope you love it too!

[@bonsky221]

This app is amazing and customer service is great too.

[@bonsky221]

Saved me from buying dbls on many items.

[@mmbriscoe]

I love this app! I was surprised Quickutz was not in there! That is the largest manufacturer of dies I have!! Guess I have a lot of entering to do!!😅

[@LoveJessCo]

I haven’t actually heard of that brand! It’s so interesting how different things are popular with different people! 😍 I think there should be a way to request brands, though. Hopefully they’ll get added for you!

[@priscillafriesen148]

Love this!! Definitely looks helpful!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@LoveJessCo]

thanks, Priscilla! I hope it helps you get organized :)

[@amkarei]

@@LoveJessCo DID you continue to make y.t. updates on this topic? Am looking for something definitive on just what this DOES cost per month!! I'm not really into "forever fees"!!

[@LoveJessCo]

@@amkarei I didn't end up making another video on this topic (so far). It's $1.49/month right now. However, you only need to be paying the monthly fee if you're currently adding new items. Once you've added your items, you can cancel your PRO membership and still use the edit features of the items you've already created. Food for thought :)

[@amkarei]

@@LoveJessCo Thanks for your input. The info will help bunches in coming to a decision!

[@DawnRK3204]

I love the idea, but so far, I’ve had to add every stamp set I own. I was hoping some of what I own would already be in the database.

[@LoveJessCo]

Oh no! I know they’re always working on adding more products and additional vendors. I hope the items you add going forward are in there!❤️

[@mobilemcc]

I have over 200 stamps already entered into AirTable, which is an excel format. Will this take in that information or do I have to reenter.

[@LoveJessCo]

You would have to re-enter, unfortunately. This doesn't have a spreadsheet style, but it's very user friendly. I like it a lot!

[@carolstandrew8143]

Send the suggestion to color my life folks. :)

[@amkarei]

@@carolstandrew8143 Oooo ... That would SOOOO be the clincher for so many that have already taken other avenues in search of "Organized Insanity"!

[@fazeduck2722]

Will this work for vinyl and paint crafters or is it specifically just for paper crafters? (Apologize in advance for whatever name I have....my son keeps changing it lol)

[@amkarei]

(( It's a bear when we have to rely on our progeny to "help" with our computer "maintenance"!!! ))

[@juliemorgan6822]

What is the thumbs up button for and how do I get rid of them? I thought I was hitting the camera and it was the thumbs up.... help! So far love the app. Dies and embossing folders added. And some paper but not a lot. Diving into stamps soon!

[@LoveJessCo]

You can give items you like best a thumbs up. There are three 'degrees' of thumbs up. Tap once, twice, or three times to add more preference to a product. Tap it a 4th time to remove the thumbs up. When you view your products, you can sort by most 'liked.' :) I hope this helps!

[@amkarei]

@@LoveJessCo THAT's a nifty little bit of "VITAL" to know!! Thanks for responding!

[@carolstandrew8143]

I love this app you can also copy image and paste it to the app as well so you don’t have to delete the photos.

[@LoveJessCo]

Oooooh!!! I didn't even know that! I'm off to try it now - you're a life saver! :D

[@melissah12365]

Do you know how to edit your tags after you have already saved an item? When I re-open an item and tap in the tags section my keyboard doesn’t pop up. Maybe it is user error LOL. Surely there is a way to edit you entries, but I’m just missing it.

[@LoveJessCo]

I’ve got you covered! When you into the item, head up to the upper right corner and tap the three little dots. A drop down menu will appear and you can select ‘edit details.’ Then add or edit your tags!❤️❤️❤️

[@melissah12365]

A Card Day's Work Thanks! I knew I had to be missing something.

[@amkarei]

@@melissah12365 (( L O V E the "card day's work" quip!! ))

[@gingerpetty5216]

Does it have a die only category.

[@amkarei]

At o.d. 4:25 of her video "Dies" are noted right below "Stamps". Did you get this app? What do you think of it?

[@Dsiegel7]

I downloaded it and signed up for the yearly membership and verify the email address as directed. Now when I’m in the app and I search for items, nothing shows up. I was sure to search for items I knew was on the list from their website but still nothing shows up. What am I doing wrong?

[@stacycakamams4873]

A B contact the company. They are fixing some issues. They get back with you unlike other apps.

[@LoveJessCo]

Oh no! I'm so sorry you've been having trouble! I didn't have that issue, but the company is EXCELLENT with their customer service. They definitely get back to you and help you figure out what's going on. When you're typing in your item - what are you entering? I found that sometimes it does have to be exactly in the order they have it entered, so less is better. For example, if you wanted to add 'Lawn Fawn Happy Harvest Stamp Set' you might just want to type in 'Happy Harvest' because that is more likely to pull up the product than the full name. I hope that makes sense!

[@amkarei]

Did you reach out to the company? And, DID they get you the answers you needed? (( I'm a crafter with injured eyes, so the L A S T thing I want to involve myself with is an app that frustrates me even more than I am "normally"!! Thanks for understanding ... ))

[@WendieMorgan]

IVe tried with this app, but it won’t sync between my two devices.

[@LoveJessCo]

Oh no! I know they were working on syncing issues last I heard. I hope it’s resolved soon!

[@WendieMorgan]

@@LoveJessCo I’ve been back and forth with them. I’m hoping they fix it.

[@LoveJessCo]

Fingers crossed! That would make it so much more useful. ❤️

[@Mariaotellie]

Will Stampin Up items ever be added??

[@amkarei]

HAVE the S.U. items been added yet?? (I've got a LOT of "hand me downs" from that line!!)

[@laurasutton1551]

I really like this app I'm a little surprised that they don't have spellbinders stuff but that's ok

[@LoveJessCo]

I think they’re still working on adding inventories from different shops. Spellbinders is a no brainer for me, too! Maybe they’ll add it soon ❤️❤️

[@AggieScrapMom]

Hey, this looks interesting!!! I’m wondering if there’s a data limit though!!! Lol

[@LoveJessCo]

😂 you know if anyone will have problems with that it’ll be us LOL

[@amkarei]

@@LoveJessCo Hi Jess, Have you come to a "ceiling" regarding data limits? Wonder if the CML company would be forthcoming with that info??

[@LoveJessCo]

@@amkarei I don't think I've had any issues running out of space yet :)

[@melissaklepser1166]

Do you still use this APP?

[@LoveJessCo]

I have taken a break from using it during the busy season, but I'm about to head back to it as I'm working to get my craft room organized in the new year!

[@TannaLohouse]

I was I love with this app when I first saw it two months ago, but I have yet to actually put anything I. It hahaha

[@LoveJessCo]

Oh my gosh haha! You're such a procrastinator like meeeee!

[@TannaLohouse]

Lol I opened it and it looked so daunting!!

[@SusieP-UT]

Is Stampin Up in the program?

[@LoveJessCo]

They’re always updating their included brands, but I’m not sure if Stampin’ Up is currently included, I’m sorry!

[@stampinwithalohajoyceb9310]

I love the app but not willing to pay for it monthly. Maybe if it was a one time purchase amount.

[@LoveJessCo]

I totally understand that - I try to consider that they have to maintain the app after I download it and that kind of helps me with the subscription cost. I don't normally like to subscribe to things haha

[@Hash4ever]

You can pay annually if that helps.

[@amkarei]

I'm with you!! Monthly Fees remind me of the ads for "How to GET OUT of your TIME SHARE"!! I have NO DOUBT that these folks deserve every bit of what they're asking for (Jess commented back to my "$?" question and said it was $1.49/mo) but it just becomes one more thing I have to check on to see that someone hasn't hacked my accounts. And, even my health insurance company can't always seem to dot the "i's" and cross the "t's" on an ongoing basis!! I understand from someone else's comment that we can sign up for a yearly fee. That MAY be the way I go. Be well, aikane! (Or "hoa aloha" but I'm not "native" and did not want to appear THAT presumptuous!!)

[@marypatrick6596]

I use this and love it

[@LoveJessCo]

It’s such a great resource! I’m really loving it!

[@msdixie1972]

Anyone still using and loving CML?

[@Kaylasgood]

i wish they had an android version!

[@LoveJessCo]

I think it's on their list for the future! I hope it comes soon!

[@carolstandrew8143]

It’s in the works and they say release is end of Jan 2020

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

Android is out now

[@bertas-cards]
