Another "Do you keep" question - alphas

I delete the alpha sheets as soon as I DL a kit.

Do you prefer individual alphas or the sheets? Do you keep both?
 
I use the individual ones, just habit I guess as that is how they came at my previous scrapping home...it hadn't occurred to me to delete the sheet....maybe I will go do that now. I have gathered up quite a few goodies in the short time I have been active here but not enough for such a task to be onerous, I should do it now before the task becomes overwhelming, right?

Jill, if it were me, yes...I would delete them before you get a huge stash and it is an overwhelming task. There are a lot of things I wish I had done when I first started... tagging/organizing is one of them!
 
I usually delete the sheet too, but I've heard a lot of people say they use them and get upset if they're not included.
 
I usually delete the sheet. However, sometimes the sheet is a smaller file size than the individual ones. Just sayin'.
I too prefer the individual ones.

Not a fan of many many alphas [just recolored] in the same kit either.

I delete the sheet. I think it's annoying to use! haha I also delete an alpha right away if I don't like it. ;)
 
I delete the sheet in most circumstances. I heard some people prefer the sheet since it takes up less room. I find it a pain to use the sheet.

That being said, for those multiple alphas. I had 1 set that had a ridiculous number of alphas. Like 5 for each color family, so there were a total of over 40 alphas!

I always delete the sheets... and sometimes the entire alpha if I don't absolutely LOVE it.

I'm always afraid to completely delete even when I don't absolutely love it because there might be something that I may want to use it with...I guess that's the hoarder in me! :D
 
I know! I find myself "archiving" kits that I haven't used instead of just deleting since I *might* want to use it someday!
 
I'm in the minority - if a kit has both, I always delete the individuals and use the sheets. Of course many kits only have individuals so I no choice - LOL
 
I prefer the individual alphas just because cutting them out in GIMP can be time consuming. I usually trash the sheets if they come with the individual alphas.

What is your process for using the sheets? Do you drag into your LO and cut out the letters you need? Or?
 
Yes I delete the sheet! But that's a good idea about it being smaller - after I use it once I should delete the alpha and keep the sheet - unless I LOVE it - chances are it'll just gather "dust" in my EHD - I rarely reuse any of my stuff - how bad is that?!
