So who's up for another card challenge?

Not taking it for granted that AQ will do another one, but if not, perhaps someone else will offer.

I don't want to take it for granted AQ!

So who is interested and what ideas?

I would love to join in but have about 20/30 cards to prioritise first!

I'm in
When does the card have to be finished?
I'll email you mine AQ if thats OK.

This card challenge is good fun Carolinet - AQ will sort out a list of senders and sendees then you have to send to your allotted 2 people exactly the same materials you used for your card - including card and envelope. They have to make a card using what you sent. Meanwhile, you wait for your two packages to arrive - these are not from your sendees; when they arrive, you get cracking. Well, that's what we did last time...... it could be different this time.The fun is waiting for the reveal - when everyone uploads their pictures of their cards, the variety is a testament to woman's individuality!

Hi - I'll duck out of this one as I am a mere novice & haven't really got any wedding bits & bobs as yet. Thanks for the invite though !

pootlepod · 09/05/2005 22:09

Whizzz, we won't let you go easily!!

The last challenge, I felt really nervous and it was a man's card. But I am really glad I did do one as it has given me an awful lot of confidence and I have made a number of male themed cards since. See if you can see any examples with a google search, or perhaps some of the others can point you to good websites with examples.

The challenge is more about fun and trying new things out than the product-honest

hi5 · 09/05/2005 22:11

cluck cluck ...
come on whizz, take a looka the gallery, there is a whole range of ideas. Check out the materials everybody started with for the first challenge. You could keep it very simple.
Go on...go on...

Carolinett · 10/05/2005 08:19

Are we going to do the same as last time AQ? Sending the same out to 2 CCs.

I can't even see my craft table ATM! I am trying to have a sort out and work at the same time and it's just not happening!

Whizzz · 12/05/2005 19:28

Hi I think Carolinett was going to join in but I haven't addded wedding cards to my portfolio yet ! so I'll give this one a miss - but watch to get ideas !

AuntyQuated · 12/05/2005 19:33

whizzz...i have never done a wedding card! you can be my CC!!

Whizzz · 12/05/2005 19:41

I'm thinking.......so I make a wedding card & then whatever I have used, send duplicate bits & bobs to 2 others. Then I get 2 different envelopes of card stuff to make 2 more cards.
Do you have to use all the stuff that is sent or can you pick & choose ?

AuntyQuated · 12/05/2005 19:53

"if you get less than 5 things you can add one thing...if you get more than 5 things you can leave one out"

that's the published rule!! but no one minds/notices the odd change around.

but yes you have the right idea. go on ...have a go.

Whizzz · 12/05/2005 19:56

Oh go on then (I'm easily led) ! I might have to ask more questions though if I get stuck
Do I have to CAT you my address AQ?

AuntyQuated · 12/05/2005 20:47

good Whizzz, glad we persuaded you

AuntyQuated · 12/05/2005 20:55

could you sign up on the yahoo link in my last post? it keeps things 'right' for my tired brain!

Whizzz · 12/05/2005 21:01

OK - all signed up !

AuntyQuated · 12/05/2005 21:03

whizzz...have you emailed me too? i've just has an email but it didn't include a MN name only a RL one!!!

Whizzz · 12/05/2005 21:04

Oh silly me - yes I sent a CAT but then I emailed too !

Whizzz · 12/05/2005 21:06

Thinking about it you will be even more confused as I think I used different email addresses for each - they are all me though!

AuntyQuated · 12/05/2005 21:11

i've emailed you back asking if you were soemone ekse! your RL name confused you with soemone else. but i will add your details to me list. thanks

looking at your address..are you coming to the crafty meetup next weekend at the craft fair?

so far there is me, Jayzmummy, Anorak, Fairyfly and maybe Yorkiegirl and my friend who is a very infequent poster (so infrequent i can't rememeber her Mn name!!) it would be lovely if you could come along

pootlepod · 12/05/2005 21:22

yeah, glad you're in Whizzz.

I have only made 1 wedding card so will need to think about this one.

Is anyone else kind of thinking about Christmas cards yet or should I get out more???
