Things have been really quiet here over the summer so how about a challenge??

THEME
Christmas in September

SIGN UP DEADLINE
Friday 8th September

RULES (GUIDELINES)

  • make ONE Christmas card
  • send everything you used to make it to your Challenge Chum (CC) including the card blank and the envelope. Send them by Septmeber 15th -before you send them to your CC take a photo of the bits and pieces (B&P) -when you receive your B&P,make a card with the things you have receieved. If you receieve more than 5 B&P (not including the card) then you can miss one out. If you receiev less than 5 B&P then you can add one more thing. Other than that you can only add glue, glitter,chalk and ink. -take a picture of your card and post it on the Yahoo group by 29th Septmeber.

It sounds complicated but ius really straight forward and i thought that the christmas theme would be good to get us all going.

AQ, I have been able to finish my card and photograph it along with the bits that I am sending to CaliforniFrau...I am very excited as I am a card virgin and a challenge virgin so hopefully I haven't screwed up too badly!

I don 't believe I have access to the Yahoo site to upload anything. Can I get permissions or whatever I need or shall I email you the photos? Let me know. I am [email protected] if you would like to reach me via email. Thanks and very excited.

sunchowder · 05/09/2006 14:44

AQ, I sent you two emails yesterday, noticed you did post your addy below!

PeachyClairHasBadHair · 05/09/2006 15:00

How can you have done yours already if youve not had anything sent to you. Is that not how you do it. Am I being blonde? Am I on the wrong thread?

Don't panic LVT ...CF and sunny are in the US so to save anyone posting overseas they have paired themselves up and are EAGER-BEAVERS.

i am jsut chasing up addresses and am only short of UCM's

UCM can you email me please? if you don't see this in time i will ask JM if she has it.
