Hi everyone! Today I´d like to share my card as a Guest Designer at Creative Card Crew. As a Designer at QKR Stampede I was invited to make a card for this challenge "Use Metal". I know it´s a little bit early to make Christmas cards but I thought I´ll get a head start with this one.

I´ve used this cute image Dancing Snowman and I colored him with my Promarkers and I´ve put some Stickles on the snowflakes to make them sparkle. It´s hard to see the sparkle on this photo though...

Papers: Bazzill & First Edition - Festive Treats

Embellishments: Martha Stewart Snowflake Edge punch,QK Nesting

Inverted Squares, Panduro Round Corner punch, Sew Easy, DMC,

Tips on keeping track of card challenges

Hi there! People have been wondering and asking me how I keep track of and am able to participate in so many challenges. So I thought that I would share it with you today.

In the beginning I wrote down all the info about the challenges in a notebook but I found it rather time consuming and difficult. After much thinking I came up with the best option and that was using Excel. And boy did it make it so much easier, just copy and paste!

Here you can see all the challenge info; name, theme, how many times you can enter a card+my entries, end dates and if they are weekly, fortnightly or monthly. 

The next tab has info about all the challenges I´m participate in, so it´s easy for me to keep an eye on my entries and my wins ;-).

And on the third tab I put up pictures of Bingo cards, Photo Inspirations and Sketches etc, all easy to see.


On the last ones, all the challenges are in alphabetical order with information about their rules and guidelines.

I hope you find this helpful and if you have any questions I'll be glad to help you out. :-)
