I spent a big chunk of my weekend loading all my Project Life supplies into Photoshop Elements Organizer and tagging everything. I tagged by what it was, color, designer, and theme. Now that I have everything tagged, I can easily go click the filters for... say 3x4 filler card and blue and see every blue card I have in that size. Or if I'm wanting word art to use with a happy photo, I can click word art and happy and see everything I have.
Having this simple tool available added immensely to my supply list for this week's layout. I orginally had a much more complicated layout, but I walked away from it and came back to change it to be more my style. I decided that rather then introduce a bunch of different filler cards, I'd just repeat the same ones to create my visual triangle. I'm really much happier with this and think it flows better.
Here's my finished layout:

You may notice I've done away with the week in review card I used for the first six weeks of this project. Honestly, I got bored with it and didn't feel like it fit the cleaner look I was trying to achieve. I also am trying to go more towards seeing each photo as a mini layout to be embellished or at least tell a short story, so I used a lot more word art and collage templates.
