Who of us is left? So many seem to have gone, but there might be some newbies around (Peachy waves hopefully).

Do we want to organse something? happy to do it, if any interest, really need to get motivated again.

do I have to be a card-maker to join in here?

hope not - I do crochet, patchwork, quilting, silk painting and beadwork - not all at the same time, but am not a cardmaker at all ...

Not sure ejt- not quite sure what is planned for us, but with your diverse crafting ability, I am sure you could adapt to the challenge!

Dior {{{{{hugs}}}}}} honey. Chin up my love.

oooh a challenge!!!

i don't get much time to craft - my stash is tiny and i have no room dedicated to it so its a case of dragging stuff out when i want to use it. its an inspiration killer!!

So, before the challenge gets underway...

how do i show u all what i have done? member profiles?

how do i photograph what i have done? or do i scan?

(thats it - for now ;) )

Sunchowder here, would love to join..have been on and off lately....but still here! Could swap with Calif easily!

Where's Jayzmummy these days? Haven't seen her in ages!

PeachyClair · 08/01/2007 20:31

Now, if there are varying craft styles going on can you please vote for whether you'd like:

A) a challenge where I set X number of items- so three from a list, say. Bit worried that would exclude some people.

B) a challenge where I set theme / style (eg, a card for a wedding with a Lime Green theme- )- that might bemroe inclusive

C) a challenge where I do a list of say 10 craft items. Each aprticipant maile me 3 numbers, I match them with the items and then that's what they get-

so if the list were 1. natural paper

  1. ribbon
  1. die cuts and the participant chose 1 and 2, that's what they'd get (iyswim)

LOL at Peachy The Boss!

this
is the first one}

and the other

you will need to sign in using ID --- mumsnetter and password netters

if you have a yahoo ID of your own hit APPLY NOW ..this is easiset as it doesn't like it when too many of us are trying to use the mumsnetter ID.

once you have applied you just have to wait until a mod approves you.

Ty AQ have added them to my faves

peachy, whatever the cahllenege is it may exclude ppl because of time issues/theme/cost/just not interested in that part of A&C...maybe just choose and see who wants to do it?

PeachyClair · 08/01/2007 20:39

Oi that was B Dior

who's running this

Scrapbook Inspirations...her LO is even on the front cover.

Whizzz · 08/01/2007 20:40

I'm happy to go with the majority. My card making needs a kick up the but I also fancy the idea of other crafts to a theme !

(not much help am I ??!!)

Happy to help with any sorting out Peachy if you need assistance

MerlinsBeard · 08/01/2007 20:42

thatas her layout on the front cover AQ (i have it here, came today) is it the hgs and kisses one?

PeachyClair · 08/01/2007 20:42

I really like the idea of other crafts to a theme too, would be really nice and inclusive- and give us all a bit more scope.

Thanks Whizzz for that notion (and for the help offer- phew!)

Fubsy · 08/01/2007 20:45

Anything that makes me use my brain as long as we get a reasonable amount of time to do it

auntyquated · 08/01/2007 20:49

i am the opposite ---the longer i ahve to do it then the longer it will take me and the more likely i am not to do it at all!

i like challenges that are posted at 6pm and have to be uploaded in 48 hours or less!!!

PeachyClair · 08/01/2007 20:51

Make it easy don'tcha eh?????

eh?????????

How's about I give sufficient warning of requirements and then a time limit?

Or is that not enough for my demanding public

lol
