Kelly,
I think I will look into iPhoto Buddy. I have heard about it before but that was just after I got my Mac. I like iPhoto so far but just need to start tagging etc. I just have too much scrapbooking stuff and I still don't know what to do with it all. I read somewhere that with spotlight I really don't need to put things into iPhoto but I really like to see things when I am scrapbooking. iPhoto with iPhoto Buddy might be just what I am looking for right now.

I looked at iView and right now it might be a bit expensive for what I need. I think I am going to use my money on iLife 06 instead. (I use iMovie and iDVD a lot). Are you considering the upgrade?

Just to clarify - if I use iPhoto Buddy, I can put all my scrapbooking elements into iPhoto in a different library and then the elements and the photos won't be mixed together? Then I should be able to tag all the elements according to what I need? Thanks so much for all the help (especially because I am a new Mac user - about 6 months).
