Yes -at least that's what mine did. Ok'd as private -so not pending.

BUT I wonder if the fall/winter seasonal designs get automatically sorted in a way that the National KIOSK retailer can select our designs. Hm-m-m all very mysterious.

Thanks Diana. I was wondering if I did something wrong because my pending was not increasing. Sounds like that is happening to everyone. About your question, I am sure the retailer will be able to do a sort on the products once they get approved, but not sure how they will see them before approval. I feel confident that the powers that be (GCU) have this all figured out though.

Happy creating!

I think I figured it out...I guess I'll have to wait and see if it passes the review and gets approved problem free!!! Again, thank you so much for your advice. Oma

Oh oh, I just re-read Mindy's instruction on the first page, she suggests when we create these photo cards we put them in both categories, those for "photo" and the other Category "Season Greeting", well I only put them in "photo" and just now when I tried to edit the category to put them in the "Season Greeting" it will not allow an edit. No edit after approval, but I was never notified that these front photo cards were approved yet, so therefore I should still be able to edit. Right or am I wrong?

Someone!

Somewhere in one of these posts, we were notified that the category editing ability and showing the keywords after creation are two areas that don't seem to be working. They don't plan on fixing these two issues until the push for 8/15 calms down I imagine. I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Make yourself a note and once this system goes live, send an email to the reviewers with the card PID's and ask them to place in the 2nd category. I'm sure they would be happy to do that for you

Myrna,
I too wanted to change a category after I submitted, but was unable to. I understand this function is not available.
I am a little confused about what category these should go in as they could easily go into Collections--Photo Cards--Christmas and also Holidays--Christmas--Photo Cards and also another Christmas category. I am hoping the reviewers will just put them in the category GCU wants them in to speed up the process...pretty please!
Does anyone know how long the expedited review time is taking on these cards? I got a late start and was just wondering.
Thanks

I know - I did the same thing I believe I have it in the phot category but not the seasons greetings or did I put it under christmas phot cards -either way I can't go back in and check or change as it's OK under private. So I hope mine is someplace where it can be found to be selected. Very confusing.

Doreen didn't see your post about this problem yes - I'll do as you suggest. Very sensible.

Hi, all,

To answer some questions that have been presented here:

Photo cards can be placed in one photo card subcategory (in fact, one category *must* be a photo card) and either another photo card category or a "regular" category. So, a Christmas photo card with a snow man can be placed in either:
Holidays >> Christmas >> Photo Cards / Your Picture Here >> General
AND
Collections >> Photo Cards / Your Picture Here >> Christmas
OR
Holidays >> Christmas >> Photo Cards / Your Picture Here >> General
AND
Holidays >> Christmas >> Snowmen / Snowwomen
The choice is up to the artist.

If your cards aren't where you'd like them, please let us know by putting a message in
The thread for all found misplaced cards!!! under the Category Help forum. Please be sure to include the card PID and which category you want added/changed.

Photo cards, until Sept 1, are placed in the Private gallery. A reviewer goes through these cards each day. You will only receive a note from us if we make a change or need you to make an adjustment. Otherwise, no notification will be sent.

I hope I've answered all your questions. Please let us know if you have any other concerns.

Regards,
Reviewer 443

Assuming they aren't full of errors of course Grin

Hi, Doreen!

If you're asking will the review process keep these cards from being seen by the Kiosk company on the 15th, no, it won't. This is a special procedure and cards are essentially approved automatically until we go over them and ask for adjustments, if needed. As an artist, I would go through my photo cards and make sure everything is absolutely perfect. This is an important opportunity for artists and the shining stars (cards) will benefit.
