Do you write them in a book, including card stock inks used dies etc,
Do you keep photos and just know what you did?
I'm keen to start a recording system and wondered what you use.
I browse the gallery here on SCS and pop the cards into my favorites. Just click the heart tab and the card goes right into your favorites.
I also use pintrest. I only pin the cards with the stamps I have, stamps I want to have or nice layouts.

I usually make a prototype or mock up of my idea. I heard a tip from Maile Belles (PTI Design team member) that has saved me paper and lost ideas. She said to take a regular piece of copy paper (8 1/2 by 11) fold it in half, then fold in half again and you have an A2 sized card front, times four. I love using this idea because I can work up four different ideas, or the same idea in four color schemes, making sure to note the ink colors, brand, stamp set, etc. I save the folded papers in the box I keep all my completed cards in. I have divided the box into the various stages of completion and one section is labeled "card ideas". Now all I have to do is flip through my box.
Once I've completed my cards, I take pictures to catalog them.
I don't really have a sytem. The cards I aboslutely love, I try to make one to keep for myself. I photograph and post most on my blog, unless I don't like it! LOL
Pinterest is the easiest way, in my opinion. I set up Pinterest boards with headings such as General Christmas, Snowflake Cards, Grunge Cards, etc. - and also boards for some of the SU sets I have.
I have WAY too many ideas pinned on Pinterest and in my favorites on here. I also have a folder in my bookmarks with links to all of the different websites with card sketches.
