A&C gang- sign in here- we need to get things going again.......

[PeachyClair]

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.

oh and

can I thus use 4 shades of pink and 2 shades of green, say? or would it need to be 1 shade pink + 1 shade green?

god, 2 colours! hard work for a knitter! i knit cos i like colour. might sew summat...

Oh AND

can it be a photo?

or do I have to do something crafty with the photo?

thanks for listening

have my idea but I jusst hope it fits in properly with the theme......i think it doess but might have to check with one of you clever people later!

If it were a photo that firt the theme, why not? The idea of this is that we can get all the crafty types to put together a showcase really, instead of cardmakers, thataway, scrappers over there- iyswim. You could do a photo and then scrap it (I probably will) but I think a decent photot would be lovely actually. It's supposed to be white and then one other colour, as many shades of that colour as you want though.

You can mail me, but as you have the theme it isn't essential tbh

My mind has gone completely blank... I have no ideas whatsoever!

have a browse of a few craft sites for ideas- they ahd daisies, rabbits, sheep, doves, rompers, etc on the one I looked at. And you can always look at the word cobnbotations too- white = putrity, innocence etc.

Don't forget you can do a new baby card, or maybe a sillhouette card...... I hear you like those

cobnbotations what a great word !

(working on necklace by the way Peachy!)

Soup - did you used to wear clogs as a child ?

Do you know what, Whizzz... I've got none of the clog paper left! I can't find any of it!

And on a completely unrelated note, I'm just wrapping your star light...

I may attempt my first ever scrap book page. Lord knows I have enough "childhood" related photos to choose from!

ok

i hope i can get my act together to do this cos it looks fun.

Am trying to decide between photo/drawing/sewing/knitting. maybe all of them. heck why not

Oh AND (and I prmise I'll go away and start making the naffing thing now but, so I am ABSOLUTELY sure,) which of the following combinations are ok

1. white + black

1. white and black and shades of grey (on basis that black is a shade of grey)

1. white and black and shades of pink

1. white, black, grey and shades of pink

sorry i am aswking all these questions but this is my first ever challenge and i will be sad if i balls it up

I think it is white + one other colour/shades of the same colour.

So white + black/grey would be ok but white, black + pink would be a no-no

If its a black & white photo, then you would have to use black & white 'stuff' to 'craft it up' !!

Is that right Peachy ?? or will you allow white + one colour + shades & black text / outlines ??

Cor, Im glad that you lot are asking all of these questions rhather than me.
So I can just read the answers and appear really knowledgeable .

So I suppose I have to get dh to teac me how to do the photo-onto-website bit...hmmm.

i took it to mean that white was the main colour and then 1 other colour could be used so if you used black then u could use greysas that is shades of black

Is anyone knitting something for their challenge?

that us good

but how will you scrappers do text if no black?

is that a hugely ignorant question?

i might partially knit something. i can't quite decide, actually.

text can be any colour in scrapbooking

(oh and is sparkly silver a shade of black? )

do you know, when i was at school, i always sat at the front of the class so the teacher could see my waving hand very very clearly...

I suppose silver is a shade of grey

( Peachy might come along in a min though & shout at me for giving duff advice )

I think Peachy implied if you're using a photo it's exempt from the colour restriction. You can use the photo and then the rest is one colour + white.

If it's just a photo though, it should probably be black & white (and shades of grey ).

I'm busy printing out my chosen photo(s) in varying sizes ready to shut myself away in the spare room with my glue paper and scissors later tonight...

LOL at you lot- I haven't even done the pic yet!!!!!!!!!! essay forst (unless anyone wants to do it for me? Ethics class, 'can there be rights without responsibilities? 2500 words ).

Whizzz's advice is fine LOL- she's educating me too carry on deary.....

So, is the phot part of a scrapbppk page exempt from the "one colour plus white" rule or have I got to reprint my photos in a rather unnatural shade of yellow?
