Kaboodle is the solution!
We've been searching for a solution for Mac customers to be able
to create and maintain a Wish List of Scrap Girls digital scrapbooking
products. One of our designers, Erica Hite, stumbled across this great
solution, and I want to briefly show you how it works. While this
is helpful to Mac customers (who can't use our previously recommended
Wish List solution called Evernote), this is not strictly a Mac product.
Anyone can use it.
The solution can be found at the www.Kaboodle.com
site.
First thing you'll want to do is sign up for a free account. Click
on "Join Now."
You'll be asked to enter your information, and then you click on
"Sign me up!"
Now we can set up our Scrap Girls Wish List. First thing to do is
click on "Create a New Page."
Choose a name for your Wish List. I chose "Scrap Girls Wish List."
You can choose whether you want to make the page public or private.
If you make it public, it will be available for anyone else to view,
and you can also share it with specific friends of your choice who
also have Kaboodle accounts.
Click on "Wishlist" for the page type. And then type in
any page tags that will make your Wish List easy for others to find
whose interests are the same as yours. I used "digital scrapbooking"
and "scrapbooking" for my page tags.
Kaboodle gives you four ways to add items onto your page. You can
pick which one best suits you.
I chose to "Get the Buttons," meaning I'll add Kaboodle
buttons right into the toolbar of my Firefox browser. I found this
to be the quickest way to keep track of items I want while I'm browsing
through the Scrap Girls Boutique.
I go to the Scrap Girls website, and when I see something I like,
I click on "Add to Kaboodle."
I am then taken to the Kaboodle site, where it automatically chooses
relevant summary information from the page, like a picture, description
and price. By clicking "Fix Details," you can select a different
picture from the web page and further customize the summary information.
You can also add tags for this item (I chose "Papers" and
"Pink" for my tags) and personal notes you'd like to remember.
When you click on "Submit," you are immediately taken back
to the Scrap Girls website to continue browsing for digital scrapbook
products. How cool is that?
I went back and added a brush to my Wish List. I'm done browsing
for now, and want to just view my Wish List on the Kaboodle website.
I click on "My Profile" from my browser's toolbar and click
on my Scrap Girls Wish List page. This is the screen I'm taken to,
where I can view all of my current "wishes." You can switch between
different views, even play a slideshow of your wishes.
Enjoy figuring out what all this fun and powerful tool, called Kaboodle,
can do for you and your digital scrapbooking hobby.
