Question about new stamp sets and the Gallery!

[Soozie4Him]

My first new catty order is coming in about 5 hours and I can't wait! I've been looking for samples in the Gallery for the new stamp sets I'm getting. I've discovered that there are lots of awesome samples when I look at the Recent Photos, but when I look at the alphabetical listing, there are very very few of those samples posted under the correct stamp set.

Example - Heartfelt Thanks has 21 samples in it's alpha category, but when I did a search for "Heartfelt", I came up with 42 samples! Under Print Pattern, there are no samples listed, yet there are quite a few samples with this new BG stamp.

Ideas for best looking for the awesome samples using the new stamp sets?

In my experience if it is a stamp set (like Best of Cluck) most samples will be in that category so you can get a really good look at it there.

Background stamps, word/sayings stamps are ususally not listed under their set names so if you want to see samples I would do a search for them and you'll find plenty.

If you don't want to miss one single thing made with a set I would try the search because sometimes when people use more than one stamp set it is hard to know where to list it, sometimes too it is put in individual's galleries or challenge or scrapbook galleries, etc.

INFORMATION:
When you upload a card, it automatically goes to your own gallery PLUS you can use the "Move Photo to:" button under the picture to put it into one of the alphabetical listings. Or, as often happens, it gets sent to the alpha listings by the Splitcoast team.
BOTHERATION:
I've just figured out that there are a lot of good samples out there that have not yet been moved into the alpha listings and sometimes, because names of sets are similar, they are too hard to locate by using search.
CHALLENGE:
Last week we (just a couple of SC fans) started a "Lonely Sets Challenge" to get people to make samples for some of the sets that have no photos at all. Click here Forums at Splitcoaststampers
or go to the Challenges page and scroll down a ways.
If you have photos already in your gallery for any of these "Lonely Sets", please move them to the alpha listings. If you have the stamp set at home but haven't made a card yet -- Get Busy! We all want to see your neat ideas.

Often, more than one set is used on a card, so it will be uploaded into the the main set's gallery. The only way to bring it up would be through a search. As was mentioned, that's particularly true of backgrounds and words.

I know.... sometimes the background type of stamps kind of get get ignored when we upload our cards. We usually would list it under the name of the main set.
Still... some of the "Lonely Sets" listed in the challenge are just new. I can't believe that no one has bought them yet!! Hoping for a few more photos, so we can cross those sets off the "lonely list."
