I'm didn't get anywhere near as much done this month as I would have liked. Photoshop has been a nightmare, it would crash multiple times while I was doing a layout. Sometimes it would take me 6 attempts to drag one photo onto the page - ridiculous! I decided to buy a MacBook Pro so I could use PS properly, with the added benefit of being able to take it away with me when we went down to the beach for 4 days. Then I spent several days backing up all my photos and kits onto a new EHD, which ate into my scrapping time. Then I hurt my back while we were at the beach and couldn't do any scrapping anyway. So frustrating! Hoping for a more productive February.

IIRC, you can claim a point for any past sketch challenge, but only for sketch challenges. Including previous sketch challenges was a really early rule.

But, as far as I'm aware, other prior challenges don't count unless they're specifically recalled in the Team Challenge list. Like, if you "Bung an Arrow on it" this month, it won't get you any points unless someone re-lists that specific challenge.

grammadee , can you give us some guidance here?
