Challenge?????

[jayzmummy]

Is anyone ready yet for another challenge???

With Christmas around the corner maybe we could make that our theme???

What do you think???

JM

i've just found the address document; you are about to discover how disorganised i am.
lol - you'll still have to ask for some details

Can I join in for the challenge too? Not 100% sure as to exactly how it works. Do we have free choice over what to include or does ths choice have to contain specified items? Is it limited to 5 different things?

Coral you are more than welcome to join in.
Details of how the swop works are just a few posts below.
You can send more than 5 elements if you want to but your CC might choose not to use them all or may replace them with other items.

Right am a bit thick, can you explain how the devil do I get onto the Yahoo site as have only been on as mumsnetter. Also JM have sent you my address.

Sorry some other questions. If I am using a piece of fancy card, do I have to send whole A4 Bit or same sizes as what I have used. I am sorry if I sound dopey................!

Undercover mum....you can send whatever size you want, just as long as its not less than the piece that you use on the card

If you email/CAT your deatils can you please make sure you have included your MN user name beacuse I dont know who you are otherwise

ooooh! sounds scary! as ive got loads of new xmas B&Ps here....i understand the procedure and how long will we be doing this for? (as i look after my 12 months old baba) so time is quite restricted without getting disturbed!

once i make my own card, do i have to send out the identical colours to my "challenge chum"?

but ive got no stamps atm though!

Dont worry about the stamps....that was just an idea that was suggested....basically all you need is enough time and materials to make your card then you send out the same pieces to whom ever your challenge chum will be.
Then you will receive a package of bits from someone else and you make a card with those bits.

So do you fancy joining us???

can you get more than one card at a time from the "challenge chum"(s)?

It depends whether we do a double swop or a single. If we do a double then when you make your card you need to send out the pieces used to two challenge chums.
Then you will be sent two parcels og B&P's to make two cards with.

I think the general feel is that we will be doing two....we should have time before the big christmas rush starts

ookkaaayyyy- you've pulled my leg - put my name down for it!!

but then again im not sure as im busy all teh time nad ill be worried that i dont finished it in time as ive bought couple things for myself last week but havent started yet as been busy.. ill leave it for now and do one after xmas - sorry!

sorry!

Whoa, 2!!!! not sure if I can do that by 7 October!!

that was the general theme, that we have to do it by next week......?????????????????

JM says ....children please. Sorry but I don't think I can do 2 cards and mail the B&P by next week.I can do 1 - no probs

Have been to Wedding reception an am bit worse for wear, but have sent you the stuff I think. Beautiful wedding, ahhhhhhhhh, red roses cream bride etc

Don't panic!!!!!!

You need to do 1 card and then send the B & P's you used to make that out to either 1/2 people by the 12th October.

You then get some pieces in the post and have until the 24th October to make 2 cards with those bits. So there is plenty of time and chances are, as soon as you get your B & P's through the post you will be so excited that you set to right away!

A tip I have found useful is to do the B&P's as I make my original card, so if I cut out a bit of wire/card, I cut 2 more out there and then, and save brads, peel offs too. Make sure you have 3 of everything before you start!

Dont panic!!!!!

Pootle thank you for explaining it so well

You have between the 3rd October and the 12th October to make and send your B&P's to your challenge chum/s.

Your B&P's from your CC's will arrive and you have till the 24th October to make your cards with these pieces.

Think about it and let me know definately tomorrow

Right -sorry- are we having a general xmas theme? Is there restrictions on what materials we use or is it completely open?

Got a busy day tomorrow, taking kiddies out to a play barn type thing and then we have my in-laws round for the rest of the day....don't suppose I'll get much chance for cardmaking tomorrow then!
I am trying to make up for it today, sat out in a gloriously sunny conservatory, humming frosty the snowman, ruldold...etc I have loads and loads of embellishments all over the place and I am trying to get some cards actually finished and packed away in my stock box.
