Default Card Challenges - Keeping Track?

Hi Everyone,

I find the idea of card challenges a great source of inspiration and they help me focus when I create. I would love to start doing more of them and maybe start combining challenges but I have a hard time staying organized and keeping track of all the continuously changing challenges each week.

For all you card makers that love to play multiple card challenges (not just SCS ones) how do you keep track? Do you keep a notebook or list, just follow the blog posts each day, have any kind of system?

Any tips or suggestions are most appreciated, thanks!!

Tetcha

I haven't done any challenges for a while but I used to make a list in order of when they were due so I could keep crossing off the old ones and adding new ones.

There's a thread on the demo side in regards to finding challenges and someone said they pin them to one of their boards on pinterest which I thought was a great idea.

I made an Excel chart. The columns are for the different challenges I like to do (when I can), and the rows are for each week. In each square, I put the challenge keyword and a brief description. Then, I fill it in the squares with a color when I complete the challenge. It works for me!

I like your idea. Can you put a link in an Excel chart?

Oh, I'm sure you can. I don't know how to do it, but it must be possible.

How about a pinterest board for each day of the week with a pin of each challenge that closes that day?

You can put a link in Excel. I'm using Excel 2007 on this computer. Click on the "Insert" tab at the top. And there is a "Hyperlink" button. Click on that and it will bring up a box where you can enter the link in the "Address" space (towards the bottom) and if you want to have different text show up you can put enter that in the "Text to Display" area.

It's likely different in different versions of Excel, but you should be able to figure it out either through help or googling it if you're not using 2007.

Thanks for the tip on inserting a link on an Excel worksheet. Good to know.
