Color My Life® is a cataloging app designed exclusively for paper crafters. Quickly and easily organize and catalog your paper crafting supplies. Spend more time designing and creating, and less time searching through disorganized inventory. Stop buying the same item twice (or more)! Add items to your wishlist for future purchases. Add a storage location so you know exactly where to find your supplies when you need them. We’re here to help you get organized! Color My Life has an intuitive user-centric design and features these capabilities: • Barcode Catalog: Quickly add an item by scanning a barcode or searching the barcode catalog. Color My Life automatically populates the item’s image and attributes. We are continually adding to the barcode catalog with new manufacturers and product releases. • Duplicate warning: Adding an item with a duplicate barcode will generate a warning. • Smart Color Tagging: Automatically create color tags based on the item’s image. • Storage Location: Add a storage location, so you know exactly where to find your supplies when you need them. • Searching and Filtering: Find your items by searching for both word and color tags. Use the filtering tool to select a Manufacturer or Category. • Create sets: Items that are used together, like a collection or coordinating stamps and dies, can be combined into sets, so they are easy to find even if they are stored separately. • Project Organization: Much like a recipe, Color My Life brings supplies and inspiration together as projects. There is a 30-day free trial so you can get to know the app before deciding to subscribe. After the trial, you have access to all your content, but you need a subscription to continue adding new items. We offer monthly ($1.99 USD) and yearly ($19.99 USD) subscriptions. By subscribing, you will have access to new additions in our barcode catalog, syncing your content to multiple devices, online backups, as well as frequent app updates with new functionality. Try Color My Life today! The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Subscription and auto-renewal may be managed by going to Account Settings after purchase. Terms: https://colormylife.com/terms-and-conditions Privacy Policy: https://colormylife.com/privacy/
