Well, you could always just use those colored images...remember CAS is good (and fast!)

Welcome! I've added you to the list. Please PM me your snail mail for future prize opportunities! Thanks!
I spent the past week going through my Favorites gallery and moving them to a flash drive so I can make notes to myself like what kind of embellishments I have or what stamp would be great with a particular sketch or I just wanted to save the sentiment. I didn't realize I had so many favorites. So much inspiration. Where do I begin?

Kelly, it took me what seemed like forever to go through those favs. It was the only way I could make notes to myself on what drew my attention. This way I don't have to get online to look for inspiration, especially on the rare occasion the site is down.

Did you print them out after you put them on your flash drive???
I have been trying to come up with a better system....I put cards I want to case in my favorites....I go down to the craft room...turn on the computer to pick a card...and hours later (between here and Pinterest)....I've not done a thing!!! I thought that if I printed the pictures and kept a book on my craft desk I might get some cards made!!!

No, I didn't print them. It would make a small book if I did. That's why I put them on a flashdrive. If I'm looking for something similar to what I want to do, I can do a search so I won't have to look through those hundreds of cards.

I have a ton in my "collected samples "folder. From time to time when I know I am going to get to make a bunch of cards, I will open a publisher file and put 9-12 images just on one page. Then I just work off that page. I write all over it,whatever. I can pitch it at the end because I still have the inspirations in the file. I have yet to want to make the exact same thing.
ggrrrrr! I am having one of those days! I just pent 10 days recovering from vertigo...not 100% yet but at least enough to try and put a card together. I spent 3 hours this morning....and everything I have tried is going into the trash! LOL Going to stop for lunch...maybe the creative brain cells will kick in and something will come to me in a flash this afternoon!!!!
FYI!~ My cards for February are DONE but can't show them until next Saturday... they are a 2-fer with my Crazy4Challenges blog post!!! GOTTA LOVE 2-FERS!!!!!!!
Sorry I've been MIA. 2 reasons. 1, I've been having migraine issues the past couple of weeks. So not fun. 2nd, Bob came home on Wed. the first weekend he's home is always crazy.
I will get you guys all caught up this week. We are to have ice in here tonight/ tomorrow so not sure I'll have internet. Then we're leaving for a couple days for a Valentine get-away.
Keep working on your cards! I'll check in as soon as I can.
Enjoy your little get away Kelly! VikkiJo we also had snow today.....it's great. I had fun shovelling the driveway after work in the morning and I look forward to some skiing this week. Hope you are recovering well.
I wish you well, both Vikki Jo and Kelly! Haven't seem much of the white stuff here in my area of Iowa, getting a little bit today...not enough to shovel in my opinion.
Getting caught up from a busy weekend, no Christmas cards being made by me today! Heck, I could still do one or two Valentines before the postman comes!

Hey gang! How's everyone doing? Sorry I've been MIA. First 2 or 3 days hubby is home is always bizarre. Then we took a 3-day mini vacation for Valentine's Day. Guess now it's back to work Off to look at your cards and give credit where it's due!
Images colored for March cards....ready to design and assemble......have some images colored for April too......cold days mean stay home and color I guess.

I had forgotten all about this challenge. I have to get creative & get my February cards completed. I came down with Shingles which has caused me to have Bell's Palsy on the right side of my face. The pain & itching is driving me crazy. Making 20 cards will really distract me.
