Well, I misread the deadline for Jingle Belles this week and missed being able to enter the "No Red, She Said" challenge by a few hours :-(
I've tried to play there faithfully but just couldn't find my creative mojo this week where crafting is concerned (although I did outline a few chapters for my novel). I need to work out a schedule of sorts I guess--a way to keep track of the posting days and the deadlines for the card challenges I enjoy. So far, it's been hit or miss (mainly miss) and I want to get more organized.
So, you card makers out there--how do you keep track? On a calendar? Make a daily/weekly chart? What works for you? All I know is what is not currently working for me...
I tend to keep a challenges folder in my blog reader & star all the ones I find interesting. Then when I sit down to create, I see which ones I want to do. If it's a weekly challenge or design team obligations, I do keep a separate creative calendar, so I don't miss anything. Hope you'll join us when the new, very cool, challenge goes up on Friday.
ReplyDeletei "keep track" using a sort of "KRAMERESQUE" paradigm (by which i mean, "it's all 'up here, baby'"...taps head) ;) so yeah...i forget about things at times...
