Hi Kathy,
I looked at the email, and on the top right of the section it says 'More paper greeting cards>>' and then you get pages of all the mother's day cards, just keep hitting 'next' and you see them all.
Someone had to point that out to me though, as one of my cards showed up there....though I sold the card, only one, it was sold ten days before this reminder came out, so it didn't help!
 
p.s. How you get on that top billing part, I don't know!

Ahah! Thanks, Avis! I didn't see that. I did look at all the selections they suggested, but I didn't see all the Mother's Day Cards. Rats, wish I hadn't put it in the trash, now. Thanks, again!
Kathy

Nope, it still took me to where I can manage my reminders. Oh well, thanks for trying!
Kathy

Oh, and thank you so much Pamela for your kind remarks and to everyone else for your support.
This is such a great network of wonderful people, some are opinionated, but still wonderful....LOL!  I am happy to be part of GCU!
To answer everyone's question those cards were all under top selling cards during and prior to the time that email was sent and you could easily click on to other cards or do a search for any occasion cards or other Mother's day cards......hope that helps.  Peace, love giggles and grins to all!

I figured, after Imade my statement, that I would end up having to apologizre and clarify..so that is what I am doing here.
I do realize that combining text and images or photos is a creative process, and can be every bit as significant as drawn, painted, digitalized, or what ever process or medium.  I did not mean to offend the peole out there that do text and photos creatively, and if I have, I sincerely apologize.
 
I just figured folks would know what I meant.
 
But, at the same time, I have the right to set my own standards, and to express myself accordingly.  I personally enjoy the challenge and the time spent creating original artwork.  And everyone is free to create in whatever form they choose.  It's a forum.  Right?
It may be pretty obvious that sales is not my motivation.  I could make dozens of text cards in the time it takes to make one drawing.
That is my choice, and I have the right to feel the way I do.  
 I do not see myself as any better than anyone else in this matter.
 
However, the thread seemed to pretty quickly jump me for my innocent, if not poorly worded, statement instead of answering my question.
 
There are alot of dedicated people in GCU of all different styles.  Yet the public would not know it by the email I got on Mother's day.  I just think the public needs to have some rotating display of ALL the artists and ALL the card options.
 
It's probably not healthy for me to be a revolutionary in here, I suppose.  Even though my email is pretty darn full of GCU forum stuff, strangely, this thread, which I started, was not sent to me.
 
In summary: I sincerely apologize to any I offended.
But, I find favoritism, whether intentional or not, offensive.  If the system is those who sell the most get the most exposure, then that closes the door to those who are yet to be recognized.
 
Jami, I was not personally attacking your cards.  Yours just happened to be there.  Actually I've drawn added attention to your store now, so there ya go.
 

Kathy, it wasn't you that "jumped me" (that doesn't sound right...does it?)  and I was happy that I was not alone in this observation.
 
I recently bumped heads with the admin. and was pretty much told that I was out of line, and tha tregardless of my tastes in art, the buying public will decide what is good.  
 
Nope, it does not work that way.  The best art or creations are not what are selling.  The best promotions are.
 
Recently, Cafepress realized that this was happening in their outfit, which now has millions of products.  They sell as many cards in one hour that GCU sells in a month.  Anyway, they realized this process of popularity and sales creating a heirarchy of nto top artists but top promoters.  As a result, they have taken a long hard look at the placement process, and are now bringing some of the people lost a t the bottom of the heap and placed them nearer the top so that they can get exposure.
 
Their reason for doing this is to raise the artistic standards of their products.  They simply, as they put it, do not want the product lines to be dominated by clip art when there are so many great orignal artists working their tales off. I applaud them for doing this, both for the dedication to quality  and art, and for attempting what must be a daunting task with so many artists.
 
And, just for anyone's info: I consider an "artist" as anyone who spends every moment of creating, no matter in what form or format, trying to improve and get better at what they are doing.

Hi David,
Just wanted to say I do understand where you are coming from and I wasn't intending to be harsh with my photographer/artist speech.
I do think that the promotion an artist does for themselves to get people to their work from outside GCU is the key to success, but I am, like everyone else here, also striving for as much exposure as possible for my cards within GCU. So thanks for bringing up the issue again it does seem to be an area for improvement.
